Bayani Fernando demolished the only visible remnant of the first water system built by the Spanish government in Manila. How much did Bayani Fernando make out of the sale of the cast iron pipes and the ancient adobe blocks. When He said that the viaduct blocked the water flow he was talking nonsense.
