Cupang, Pampanga: The river-dike challenge

Barangay Cupang lies beside a meandering reach of the Pampanga River in Arayat, Pampanga, within the Pampanga River Basin. The levee’s performance matters to public safety, connectivity, the surrounding community and floodplain agriculture.

In December 2025, progressive deformation and damage were documented along a section of the levee near a river bend.
