00:00This is PTV Balita Ngayon. President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. is encouraging the proper planning of flood control projects in the country.
00:14In his inspection in Mauban, Quezon, the President instructed that the LGUs should understand where and how the floods will go to the community whenever there is calamity.
00:27This is important so that the effects of climate change can be addressed immediately.
00:32Meanwhile, the President also inspected the seawall and coasts of the province.
00:36Quezon will be remembered as one of the places that experienced flooding due to the typhoon Garina and Habagat.
00:45The Congress conducted an investigation next week on the magnitude of flooding in Metro Manila and other provinces.
00:53According to House Speaker Martin Robles, the problem is far from being solved.
01:00Meanwhile, some lawmakers believe that the DPWH and MMDA should explain why the flood control system could not handle the rain.
01:12This will help them prepare for the calamity.
01:18Of course, that's part of our oversight functions. We always have to have accountability for the proper spending of our budget.
01:27We will check if it's effective, efficient and correct.
01:31Hopefully, if something happens that the spending is not correct, we cannot avoid it.
01:39Of course, we have accountability.
