Senator Joel Villanueva on Monday slammed the Department of Public Works and Highways over persistent flooding in Metro Manila and other areas in the country despite its annual budget for flood management. In a privilege speech, Villanueva said the DPWH received roughly P1.35 billion daily funding for flood management in the 2024 national budget—higher than the P280 billion, or at least P1.079 billion per day funding, it received in 2023.
Villanueva, for his part, questioned the continued feasibility studies for flood control under the DPWH’s annual budget as he reiterated his call for a comprehensive masterplan to address the periennial problem.“Hanggang kailan po ba tayo gagawa ng feasibility study na hindi naman na-iimplementa?” the legislator said. “Hindi na po uubra ang band-aid solutions at relief operations na lang palagi kapag may bagyo.
