A video of the release of the water from Magat Dam has surfaced online. It could be seen that the water pressure is really strong and there is just a lot of water that needs to be released.

The Magat Dam is found in the Isabela Province, which after the research of netizen Goyo Larrazabal, is operated by the government through the NIA. The hydropower plant was the one that was privatized.

Science dictates that if water from the dam is not released, it could lead to a dam break, and could release more water and lead to worse disasters.
