Speaker: Metro Manila flood plan update a must
The Philippine Star
|July 28, 2024
Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez is pushing for the urgent update and implementation of the flood management masterplan for Metro Manila in the wake of massive flooding caused by Typhoon Carinaenhanced “habagat” or southwest monsoon.
-
“There is already a flood control masterplan in place. We just need to follow, update, and implement it,” the leader of the 300-plus-strong House of Representatives said.
The House chief made the statement while distributing relief goods to typhoon victims in San Juan City, Metro Manila on Thursday. He was accompanied by San Juan City Rep. Ysabel Maria Zamora and some local officials.
Romualdez said the masterplan needs to be updated to consider relocating those in low-lying and flood-prone areas, as he emphasized the impact of climate change on the intensity of storms and flooding.
“We can’t avoid stronger storms and heavier rainfall due to climate change.
