00:00Political analyst and professor Antonio Contreras made it clear from his point of view on the rise and shine of the Philippines

00:07that one of the worst floods besides the cutting of trees and the destruction of the forests

00:13is the damage to the former waterways, including rivers and estuaries.

00:19Contreras said that instead of the water being able to flow freely,

00:23it was blocked by establishments and towns.

00:28There are places in the Philippines that are natural flat plains or are really flooded.

00:34And because the structures were built,

00:37the water can no longer flow freely towards the rivers and estuaries.

00:43As far as we know, we have already cut our trees.

00:48There is no longer a stop to the water supply.

00:51Because we have already blocked the rivers and estuaries with water,

00:56we have already cemented our lands.

00:59It is no longer flowing.
