00:08That is even after the flood control master plan approved in 2012.
00:13As of now, more than half of the flood control projects have not yet been implemented, more than a decade has passed.
00:19In the first two years of the Marcos administration, more than 5,000 flood control projects were completed by the DPWH,
00:25some of which were continued by previous administrations.
00:29In Apulong, President Bongbong Marcos was with the DPWH, who did not go home empty-handed.
00:34The flood control projects and the Php 2 billion fund of the MMDA were completed.
