Transcript

00:00The President also personally informed the situation of the villages in Camanava.

00:05Next is the situation of Baguio, Carina, and Habagat.

00:09Kenneth Paciente will be back.

00:13President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. did not ignore the severe rain and flood.

00:19However, the situation of our countrymen was affected by the flood in Habagat,

00:24which was intensified by Baguio, Carina.

00:26Yesterday, the President visited the evacuation centers in Camanava and asked for a family food box.

00:33The President also informed the situation of the pumping station and floodgates in Navotas,

00:37which could not handle the high tide.

00:39It's really different reading the piece of paper

00:44than actually seeing it and seeing what people have to go through.

00:47So Valenzuela has the usual problem.

00:52It's really a basin. Valenzuela is always flooded.

00:56But they have a lot of flood control, but it's because of the lack of water.

01:03So according to the President, the designs of the flood control projects need to be re-examined

01:08to ensure that they will be more resilient in times of disaster.

01:12We have more flood control now than before.

01:15But this is what the effects of climate change are.

01:20The Executive Board also insisted that even though there are a lot of flood control projects

01:24like the pumping station and floodgates,

01:26the public still needs to help to address climate change and avoid widespread flooding.

01:32I hope people will learn not to throw garbage.

01:36Because garbage is what pollutes our ponds.

01:40So it's not effective.

01:43And now that President Marcos Jr. knows the current situation,

01:46he will be able to arrange the government's necessary action and assistance.

01:51Now that I know what the situation is, where the areas are that need the most,

01:56we'll be putting together already the release packages for the LGUs.

02:00We put them here in NCR.

02:04Not only NCR, in Region 3, in Calabarzon, NCR.

02:12A lot of people called me a while ago.

02:15So we'll put that all together so that we can go to DBM and tell them to release this already

02:21so that our local officials can use it.

02:23The Executive Board also insisted on the whole-of-government approach

02:27to the effects of climate change.

02:29In fact, the President will visit Calabarzon today,

02:32particularly in Quezon and Rizal.
