00:00After the continuous rain, the residents of Araya and Pampanga are affected because the government's flood mitigation project almost covered the land.
00:11They were shocked to see the situation of the infrastructure that was completely destroyed.
00:17That's the story of the public affairs that Emil Sumangil is talking about in the program, Recibo.
00:22The residents of Barangay Kabating in Araya and Pampanga did not fully believe that their house was about to be demolished.
00:36This is how their place looks like.
00:40The land is almost covered with debris.
00:45That's what we're afraid of.
00:47On Saturday, we were still safe. We don't know what will happen on the next rain.
00:53I was also worried because the water was overflowing.
00:58It's really dangerous. It's critical. Even if it's in good shape, it will be destroyed.
01:04At the moment, three families lost their homes because of the construction of the project.
01:09The resident of Recibo, Grace Pangilinan, said that her house was covered with debris.
01:14That's the cement pipe.
01:18Grace told us that they heard the sound of the construction of the house.
01:23The land is almost covered with debris. When we saw it, our house was about to be demolished.
01:29In our interview with the resident of Barangay Kabating, they were shocked to see how the flood started.
01:35They encouraged us, ma'am. When they saw the water flowing, they told us to allow leave.
01:42It's like the water is circulating, ma'am.
01:45It's been flowing for a long time. Within a year, the land is slowly being taken away.
01:50The land is slowly being taken away.
01:56In the description billboard of the Department of Public Works and Highways of DPWH,
02:00February 2023, the Project Flood Management Program Rehabilitation of Flood Mitigation Facilities in Major River Basins started.
02:09It is 100 percent completed as of October 2023.
02:14It amounts to P91,626,654.28.
02:22The slope protection in Barangay Kabating was built to protect the residents and the barangay itself from flooding.
02:29In the needs of the barangay, like this, the residents and the residents here need to be protected.
02:34That is the sole purpose of our flood control projects here.
02:39The agency explained that the materials they used are good and durable.
02:44When the floor is laid, it also creates a swirling effect.
02:49There are many factors that we don't know what's underneath.
02:54According to the DPWH, there was no flood, but a settlement.
03:00We know that when the land is wet, it softens.
03:03The materials that we used, tyre and dead man,
03:06it can no longer be used for fighting.
03:08When the land is soft, it is more brittle to collapse or have a settlement.
03:15According to the DPWH, the project is still under warranty.
03:19Under warranty, the contractor is willing to repair or any damages that we need to do here.
03:26And he will do it in his own expense.
03:28The residents called on the authorities.
03:31I hope their work will be okay for our safety.
03:35With the help of our colleagues here in the barangay,
03:39we already had palliative measures,
03:41especially the sandbagging to protect the residents here.
03:45This project came from the voice of the people.
03:48That's why it's important to know that every cent is spent wisely
03:52and for the sake of the safety and well-being of the residents.
03:55Together with the residents,
03:57we hope that the recipients will fulfill the project's promises.
