00:00Decades of dams, ditches, irrigation canals, and other infrastructures need to be repaired against flooding in the country.
00:08This is what political analyst Professor Antonio Contreras pointed out in his segment called Punto de Vista sa Rise and Shine Pilipinas.
00:17Contreras said that the so-called infrastructures seem to have not adapted to the current climate conditions.
00:24He took the example of what happened in the Christina Tsunami.
00:28The one-day rainfall of the Christina Tsunami is the first month of normal rainfall.
00:34Its source is in Isabela, but its wind is in Southern Tagalog.
00:40He said that the important question now is whether the government's flood control project is sufficient and sustainable
00:47because the climate change experienced by the whole world is getting worse and worse.
00:52What it needs now are flood control projects that are capable of fighting floods
00:58and according to the studies of experts in the field of climate change.
01:05The design needs to be changed.
01:07It needs to be thought about.
01:10It needs to be changed.
01:12And our President Marcos is right.
01:14He ordered the DPWH and other government agencies
01:19to fix the design of our infrastructures
01:23that will fight floods because it turns out that they are no longer sufficient.
01:27Even if he spends money honestly, even if he does not criticize it,
01:32it may not be able to stop it.
01:36The level of our oceans is increasing due to climate change.
