00:00I support the Mayor of Manila that he's going to invest in it.

00:06I support that.

00:07It's necessary to check the DPWH if it's a project of the national government.

00:14Or if it's a project of the LGU.

00:17The flood control project, not only DPWH, even the LGU.

00:23It's necessary to invest in all of this.

00:26What is the city of the flood control project?

00:29What is the DPWH?

00:32This is what we call it.

00:35To check the DPWH the status and impact of those projects.

00:42For example, the national government.

00:45I'm all for that.

00:47It's necessary to invest in it.

00:50If he wants to invest in my district just to find out.

00:55Because you know Manila, just to inform everyone.

01:01Manila is actually prone to flooding.

01:07Because most of them are below sea level.

01:10Especially in my district.

01:12There is also the main tributary of our islands.

01:15For example, like in my district.

01:17There is also the Pasig River.

01:19There is also the San Juan River.

01:22There is also the other esteros.

01:26But it's not just that Manila.

01:29It should be Metro Manila.

01:31Because look, it's not just Manila.

01:33There is also the problem here.

01:34For example, like the San Juan River.

01:36It's a huge problem.

01:37It's a huge problem.

01:38It's a huge problem.

01:39It's a huge problem.

01:40It's a huge problem.

01:41With Quezon City.

01:43With Mandaluyong.

01:45With San Juan.

01:46With Manila.

01:47If all of them will be able to find out.

01:50All of them will be able to talk about.

01:52All of them will be able to investigate.

01:54I'm in favor of that.

01:56But it's not only because it's not a permit.

02:01Or it's not a permit.

02:04It's not a permit for the LGU.

02:06The investigation is whether it's a ghost project.

02:11Whether it's a substandard project.

02:15It's not a flat control.

02:17It's all the infraprojects of Manila.

02:19It's the investigation.

02:26I'm imagery at when it becomes a permit.

02:32My design is distracted by a representative editor.

02:37It's not a permit for any other members.

02:40It's not an estuary for anyone.

02:43What they call the directorworldrecord books?

02:46So you can imagine your app to make these pages.

02:49You can always email your app to brand new.

02:53You make sure you request your app to market.
