00:00In the midst of the struggle for the victims of the Christine and Leon earthquake,

00:05President Bongbong Marcos admitted that the response to the earthquake will never be enough,

00:11even though the government is doing everything.

00:13He also has flood control, but he deliberately can't handle the effect of climate change.

00:19His order to the agencies is in the direction of Ivan Mayrina.

00:23In the midst of the struggle for the Christine and Leon earthquake,

00:30and the number of casualties reached 150,

00:34this day was celebrated as a national day of mourning.

00:37You know, when you lose a life, you lose a life. It's a terrible tragedy.

00:42The President mentioned that in Talisay, Batangas,

00:44where a candle was lit and 20 people were buried

00:48in what is considered Ground Zero of Pananalasa.

00:50The President admitted that the government is not doing enough

00:55until a life is lost because of the calamity.

00:58It's never enough. It's never enough. I wish we could do more.

01:02We're doing everything that we can.

01:05In the whole province, the total number of victims is 61

01:08to help with the recovery.

01:10The government distributed P10,000 for the beneficiaries,

01:14materials for the reconstruction of the damaged houses,

01:18and P10,000,000 for the local government.

01:21While in the neighboring town of Laurel, where 11 people were killed,

01:24a bridge was also inspected.

01:26Here, P1,000,000 worth of infrastructure was destroyed by the Christine earthquake,

01:31in addition to the initial tests in the area.

01:33This is a really big event in our lives.

01:38We were saved from the volcano. This is what happened to us.

01:44Flooding of rivers, flooding of rivers, and heavy rains

01:49are recurring themes in the floods that occurred in Baguio.

01:53Among the questions on where the funds for flood control projects will go,

01:58which amounted to almost P300 billion in 2023,

02:01and P300 billion in 2024 and 2025,

02:05the Senate will boost the budget of the DPWH.

02:10This is a welcome to the President.

02:11But if he insists, climate change is severe.

02:14That's why it's hard, even for the projects laid out.

02:17Our flood control is really overwhelming.

02:19We have flood control, but we can't do it.

02:22We really can't do it because in the entire history of the Philippines,

02:26there has never been anything like this.

02:28This is the first time we are facing this.

02:30Look, not only here, did you see what happened in Spain?

02:34Did you see what happened in different places?

02:37What happened in the States?

02:38It's the same.

02:39In those places, this is the first time this has happened.

02:43A flood that they have never seen in their lives.

02:46This is how the people of Laurel, Batangas described

02:49the flood that hit their town in Kasagsagan

02:52during the Christine Flood that hit the Bayoyongan Bridge

02:56here behind me.

02:57That's why the President has a grudge against the government agencies.

03:02The Department of Science and Technology,

03:04which oversees the warning systems

03:06and communication with the DILG

03:08so that the local authorities can receive the information quickly.

03:12The DPWH and DNR are also reviewing the design of the roads and bridges

03:17to be more resilient to the changing climate.

03:20From Batangas, for GMA Integrated News,

03:23Ivan Meyrino, for 24 Hours.
