00:00Aside from Metro Manila and San Mateo Rizal,
00:02President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. also learned
00:05the situation in some provinces affected by bad weather.
00:08The first destination of the President earlier
00:10was the province of Quezon,
00:11which not only experienced a super typhoon Karina and Habagat,
00:16but also a typhoon Agjon.
00:18In the situational briefing,
00:19the President was briefed on the affected areas in the province,
00:23such as infrastructure, agriculture,
00:26and even water and transportation problems.
00:29Meanwhile, the President also conducted an assessment
00:33with the help of the residents.
00:35The LGUs were assigned various projects
00:38to address the problem of flooding in the province,
00:41such as slope protection, drainage canal,
00:43and storm surge protection.
00:46Before the situational briefing,
00:48the President first inspected the affected seawall.
00:53So we have to prepare for that.
00:56Let's think about preparing for that.
00:58As you mentioned, there are areas that were not flooded before.
01:06It's the same for us.
01:08We already know where the water will go,
01:11where it will flood, but not anymore.
01:13Everything has changed.
01:14So that's what we have to figure out.
01:16Why did that change?
01:18Where did the water come from?
01:19Where did it go?
01:20What will we do to prevent that?
01:23To at least impound?
01:24Whatever.
01:25What will be the plan?
01:27The reason why I'm going back and forth is because
01:31flood control...
01:33Water doesn't know boundaries.
01:36That's why flood control has to be a big plan.
01:41It can't...
01:42It will cross three, four, five regions.
01:45It can't be one town here and one town there.
01:49That's why we're trying to assess
01:52what are the significant changes.
01:55Because all our flood control projects
01:57are projects that are in response to the flooding before.
02:05It has changed.
