00:00Following the order of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to revive the Bicol River Basin Development Program,

00:07the Department of Public Works and Highways is currently in the process of building a detailed engineering design for the next year.

00:15This is the story of Clayzel Pardilla.

00:20Some places in the Bicol Region are still flooded due to the heavy rain caused by Hurricane Christine.

00:26It is said that twice as much rain was caused by Hurricane Christine compared to the heavy rain caused by Hurricane Ondoy in 2009.

00:36The problem is that the flood is still not reaching some places in the region.

00:41There is a bad weather forecast.

00:44That's what we remember because the LPA is still coming.

00:47These places, Batangas, Cavite, the water is already gone.

00:52The water does not disappear here.

00:54But that's the proverbial problem of the Bicol River Basin.

01:02We really need to think about what are we going to do in the long term because you cannot expect any changes.

01:13The next time it rains, we will be here again.

01:16To address the possible flooding in the future,

01:19President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways to re-study the Bicol River Basin Development Program.

01:30This is a project of the President's father, former President Ferdinand Marcos, Sr.

01:35that will focus on infrastructure projects for the residents of Bicol,

01:40such as flood control, land consolidation, and health programs

01:46from the funds of the United States Agency for International Development,

01:50Asian Development Bank, and other international organizations.

01:55But the administration changed in 1986.

01:59Despite some challenges, it looks like we were able to help a lot.

02:04But that's not all. We have to revisit it now.

02:08The conditions are different now.

02:10With the advent of climate change, now we have to focus specifically on flood control.

02:16The others, we have a lot of plans for the rest of it.

02:20DPWH will help Korea to do this.

02:25Now, we are including the feasibility study for the flood control program, Mr. President.

02:31So, by early next year, we'll be doing the detailed engineering design of the river.

02:37While that is not yet done, the resulting operation or removal of the borex from the main rivers in Bicol will be carried out

02:45to help collect rainwater.

02:48Macquarie operations in other provinces will also look to expand and contribute to the flood control.
