00:00A senator was asked where the government's billion-peso fund for the construction of flood control projects will go.

00:09Despite the so-called projects, many places in the country were still flooded

00:14due to the flood of Habagat and Baguiong Karina.

00:17And that's what Ma'am Gonzales is talking about.

00:21The houses in Maycawayan, Bulacan, were completely flooded due to the flood of Baguiong Karina and Habagat.

00:29Some houses were destroyed.

00:31That was seen in the aerial inspection earlier by Senate Public Works Committee Chairman Sen. Bong Revilla of DPWH and MMDA.

00:39They also visited other places in Bulacan, Pampanga, and Camanava.

00:44President Bongbong Marcos was the first to visit Quezon and Rizal.

00:48The President said, the government will return our Comprehensive National Master Plan

00:53to fix the drainage systems, build flood barriers, and improve the early warning systems.

01:00Senate Finance Committee Chair Sen. Grace Poe asked,

01:03where will the government's billion-peso fund for flood control projects go?

01:09It's irritating. It's like Metro Manila and other parts of the country are making a mess.

01:18Meanwhile, the government is spending a lot when it comes to flood control projects.

01:24In 2024, the budget increased to P244 billion pesos.

01:31If you divide that by 365 days, it will come out to P670 million per day.

01:39That's what we are spending on the flood control of DPWH.

01:43In the Senate hearings, they saw that the flood control or irrigation system repair projects are not yet completed.

01:51They also did not see any proof that there was a real dredging.

01:55When asked about the 2025 national budget in the Senate, Poe said,

02:01This is not right for our countrymen.

02:04Their livelihood, work, and safety are under threat because of neglect or because of the current situation.

02:13That's why this program is not being implemented properly.

02:18DPWH explained that more than 5,000 flood control projects across the country were completed from July 2022 until May 2021.

02:27More than 5,000 are still under construction.

02:29In Metro Manila, for example, which is in a state of calamity, 656 flood control projects were completed.

02:35More than 500 are still under construction.

02:38Since the economic activity is here, the carrying capacity of Metro Manila, it will only cause flooding.

02:44If you have a lot of people, you need additional power, water supply.

02:48We need to address this at the same time.

02:50The pumping station in Metro Manila also had a flood, but...

02:55First, let's talk about the intensity and volume of the water.

03:00The Manila Observatory recorded 329 millimeters for 12 hours.

03:05If you compare it to the world, the world has 450 millimeters.

03:10The DPWH is ready to explain and provide data if the Congress will investigate the widespread flooding.
