00:00Following the widespread flooding that was investigated by Senate President Chief Escudero,

00:04the government's flood control project, which was funded by Php 1 billion,

00:09was hit by the DPWH, and the flood control projects worked again.

00:13It was said that there were a lot of raindrops on Wednesday.

00:16Witnessed by Mackie Polido.

00:22The widespread flooding was caused by the strong winds of Hurricane Karina.

00:26It only took a few days for President Marco to lay the government's flood control projects in his area.

00:33For 2024, according to Senate President Chief Escudero,

00:37Php 255 billion was the amount of funding that was allocated for the flood control projects of the DPWH.

00:44Php 455 million was given for projects like this by the MMDA.

00:50As for the flooding, what happened to these projects?

00:54That's why Escudero will investigate the current flood control projects in the Senate.

00:59The Congress will also conduct its own investigation.

01:02According to the DPWH, the flood control projects worked again.

01:06It was said that there were a lot of raindrops.

01:10If there were no raindrops, it might be worse and it might take longer for the water to recede.

01:24The best thing about this is that it recedes the water in a very short time.

01:31Explained by Dr. Mahar Lagmay of the UP Resilience Institute,

01:35the flood control projects that we have now will not be able to handle the amount of raindrops.

01:41The flood control projects are effective when it's calm,

01:45but when the big one comes, the infrequent one, the design gets overwhelmed.

01:51There is flood control, but it's not a complete solution.

01:55The problem in Metro Manila is that the normal waterway was cemented and houses were built.

02:03For example, if it didn't rain, this is what the Marikina River would look like.

02:07But this is really the Marikina River's waterway that is now full of houses and houses.

02:13This is also the problem in San Juan City, where the San Juan River passes through.

02:18We have no respect for the real natural place.

02:25It's really a river of water.

02:27According to Lagmay, a long-term solution is the decongestion of Metro Manila.

02:32For now, this kind of map is a big thing that the UP Resilience Institute studied

02:38to know the critical places and where are the high places for evacuation.
