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.
