President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. on Friday called for a national flood control plan in the aftermath of the catastrophic floods brought about by Super Typhoon Carina and Southwest Monsoon.“Let's prepare for the next flood. This is the first typhoon during La Niña season, we have a long way to go. We have to prepare for that. There are places that used to be marked safe from floods, but it is not the case now.
That's why we are trying to assess what are the significant changes, because all our flood-control projects are projects that are in response to ‘yung mga flooded noon, e nagbago na,” he said.“We have to understand the flow of the water and how to somehow manage it so that it does not flood into the productive areas, the households, the residential communities. You cannot do this in one province, one town. This plan will span regions,” he added.
