Description:

Work on the Chinese-financed Chico River Pump Irrigation Project should be suspended because the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) and its Chinese contractor have not been issued a certification that they obtained the consent of affected tribes in Kalinga province, a committee of the Cordillera Regional Development Council (RDC) said on Tuesday.
