00:00PTV News now reports that President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. approved the DPWH-MMDA and other provisions to implement the government's flood control plan.
00:17In a recent sectoral meeting, the President emphasized the importance of being prepared during the flood season.
00:25The President gave priority to areas that are often affected by heavy flooding.
00:31It is also important to have additional water impounding areas to avoid heavy flooding in Metro Manila and nearby areas.
00:41It is also important to note that when the Havagat and Bagyong Karina were flooded, many areas in NCR were also affected by heavy flooding.
01:12I think basically this is a solution that will impede the flow of floodwaters down to the low-lying areas.
01:27And of course, there are other instructions of the President that we have to collaborate also with the other stakeholders,
01:35particularly in the internal drainage management systems, particularly in urban areas.
01:44The Department of Tourism continues to provide assistance to the tourism sector in the area of Pinsalang, Iniwan.
01:52According to Tourism Secretary Cristina Frasco, the Department of Tourism is collaborating with regional offices and attached agencies
02:02to help the affected areas of Havagat and Bagyong Karina.
02:06Meanwhile, the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority, or TIEZA, is also committed to fixing the damaged infrastructure.
02:15In terms of the interventions that we will be doing as far as infrastructure is concerned,
02:21as well as in activating our current convergences with both the Department of Labor and Employment,
02:28as well as the DSWD on providing financial assistance to our tourism frontliners.
02:36In terms of tourism activities, there have been tourism advisories that have been put out by our regional offices
02:42to ensure that our tourists are not exposed to harm.
02:49The Department of Budget and Management for the Green, Green, Green! program in Bulacan has raised more than P23 million.
02:59Its goal is to build more open spaces that will help our farmers and farmers to grow their crops
03:08and help the environment.
03:10In addition to this, DBM Secretary Amena has given the feeling that the funds raised are exclusively for the construction of green open spaces.
03:21For example, public municipal parks, plazas, recreational parks, and botanical gardens in Lalawikan.
03:31And those are the news for now.
