00:00The president wants an in-depth and comprehensive audit of all flood control projects completed under construction or still to begin by way of a thorough multi-agency assessment to determine the real construction status. This report.
00:16Archie rushes to pack up his vegetable goods every time heavy rains pours down. His stall in Barangay Santa Lucia, Pasig City is often hit by flooding.
00:25Sira po ko yung mga prutas, mga gulay kasi hindi namin may binta ng maayos.
00:32Malaki pong dagog po yung sa amin kasi malaki po yung nalulugi sa amin. Pag ganoon po yung marami pong nasira.
00:37According to the Sumbung Mo sa Pangulo website initiated by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., Barangay Santa Lucia is among the areas listed with flood control projects.
00:47But residents say every time it rains...
00:50Siyempre natatakot nam dahil baham-baha. Pati sa loob, hirap na hirap kami magkakit na mga gamit. Pati yung mga prison na bubual ganoon.
01:00President Marcos has ordered the Regional Project Monitoring Committee to inspect all flood control projects nationwide, record the findings, and have the Department of Economy Planning and Development, or Dep-Dev, consolidate the data at the soonest possible time.
01:14Existing ba yung project? Pangalawa, operational ba? Pangatlo, kung effective.
01:21So lahat po ng naipon na records ng RTMC, isusumiti po ito sa Dep-Dev, at yung consolidated po ang siya mismo ibigay po sa Pangulo.
01:35The investigation will be conducted jointly by the Dep-Dev, the Department of Budget and Management, or DBM, the Department of Interior and Local Government, or DILG, the Presidential Management Staff, and will also be open to people's organizations.
01:49Yesterday, the president revealed that 60 percent of nearly 10,000 flood control projects in the past three years lacked complete details.
01:56It remains unclear if these were built, repaired, or rehabilitated. Some had different locations but the same design and cost, while provinces that received the most projects were not the areas with the highest flood risk.
02:08It was also found out that only 15 contractors out of 2,000 entities were awarded almost 100 billion pesos worth of flood control projects.
02:17For future projects, the palace says,
02:19Magiging mas strict talk, meron nga po tayong nakakita. May mga dati ng blacklist, blacklist kasama na sa blacklist, pero nag-iba ng pangalan. Pero ngayon ay parang namamayagpag pa rin.
02:31So dapat yung po yung bantayan natin at maging mapanuri tayo sa kanilang mga naging trabaho. Kahit malapit sa puso, kahit kaibigan, wala pong sisinuhin ang Pangulo. Mananagot, and dapat managot.
02:44The palace is urging local governments, politicians, with knowledge of anomalies, and the public to report irregular flood control projects through the Sumbong Mo sa Pangulo website.
02:54Maganagot report po. Talaga ako kasi isang-isa po kami sa mga apiktado po sa lalo na sa mga baha. Malaki po yung nauwala sa amin.
