00:00A portion of the Slow Protection and Flood Control Project in Arayat Pampanga was given after less than a year and now, it is not being used anymore.
00:10The residents who live next to it need to evacuate because of the dangerous situation.
00:16What is the reason and who should be responsible for this perversion?
00:21Mom!
00:23Oh my God! She has a child!
00:26The residents of Barangay Kabating in Arayat Pampanga will not fully believe that their house will be evacuated.
00:33This is how their place will look like.
00:36The land is full of debris and it is almost broken.
00:41That is what we are afraid of.
00:42Last Saturday, we were still safe.
00:45We don't know what will happen the next time it rains.
00:48I am also worried because the water under the house is leaking.
00:54The residents are now worried about their safety.
00:57This is really dangerous and critical.
01:00Even if it is in good shape, it will fall down.
01:03At the moment, three families have lost their homes because of the construction of the so-called project.
01:08Grace Pangilinan, the owner of the house, knows the receiver.
01:11She dug the ground first.
01:13The cement in the cement tube.
01:16Grace and I heard that the residents of the house are slowly giving up their land in August 2017-2024.
01:23The land is falling apart little by little.
01:26When we saw it, it was gone.
01:28My house just collapsed.
01:30In our interview with the resident of Barangay Kabating, they mentioned how the construction started.
01:36What happened was that they saw the water flowing.
01:41We call it allowed leak.
01:43It's like the water is circulating.
01:46It's like it's flowing.
01:47This is my sit pile.
01:49Now, the water is flowing here.
01:52It's been flowing for a long time.
01:55Within a year, the land is falling apart little by little until we are able to build this house.
02:03In the description billboard of the Department of Public Works and Highways of DPWH,
02:08February 2023, the project Flood Management Programme, Rehabilitation of Flood Mitigation Facilities in Major River Basins has started.
02:17It is 100% completed as of October 2023.
02:21It amounts to P91,626,654.28.
02:30In front of the Recibo, the residents of DPWH, Pampanga 1st District,
02:35built the slope protection in Barangay Kabating to protect the residents and the barangay itself from flooding.
02:42For the needs of the barangay, like this, residents and their families need to be protected.
02:47That is the sole purpose of our flood control projects here.
02:52The agency explained that the materials they used are good and durable.
02:57They do not expect a whirlpool to break into their project.
03:02When a whirlpool breaks in, it creates a swirl.
03:07There are a lot of factors that we don't know what's underneath.
03:11According to DPWH, what happened was not a flood but a settlement.
03:17We know that the land softens when it gets wet.
03:21The materials that we used, like Tyre and Dead Man,
03:24the land softens when it gets wet.
03:28It is more brittle when it collapses or there is a settlement.
03:34Later, the contractor of the project faced the Recibo.
03:38We started here last year.
03:41The NTP awarded us in February.
03:46It was completed in July last year, 2023.
03:51How many months did it take to complete?
03:53Almost five months.
03:55What kind of materials did you use?
04:01Sheet pile and roll.
04:03Engineer Peña insisted that the materials used are good for the project.
04:07Are these sheet piles really good for the floodway project?
04:12Yes. That is the design.
04:14When asked if there is enough study before the project is built,
04:18Engineer Peña replied,
04:20It's okay. We just eroded it.
04:23When the water flows into the Pampanga River, it rises.
04:28It erodes slowly.
04:30That's why we put a sheet pile to stop the erosion.
04:34Is this whirlpool the cause of the settlement?
04:39Have we seen this before?
04:42No, because the water level is low.
04:45We haven't seen this before.
