"HINDI PO SINASARA NG ADMINISTRASYON ANG PATUNGKOL SA MASTERPLAN..."

Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro said on Thursday, Aug. 27, said it remains open to the flood control master plan developed during the administration of the late former President Benigno Aquino III, despite the plan not being endorsed by the Duterte administration.

However, the Marcos administration said while it is not closing its doors to the masterplan, it will have to review it. (Video courtesy of RTVM)

00:00During the DPWH budget hearing in the House of Representatives,
00:05the absence of a national flood control plan,
00:12something that was confirmed by DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon,
00:16Kong Diokno said, and I quote,
00:19"...bilyong-bilyon ang ginagasto sa flood control projects,
00:22pero walang national master plan."
00:24So is the Marcos administration,
00:26due to siguro dahil limited na rin po yung time and buwan,
00:32abandoning the idea of a national flood control plan
00:35and instead mag-focus na lang doon sa river basin plans
00:39as mentioned by Sec. Dizon,
00:41or bukas pa rin ang Pangulo na pasimulan ang isang national flood control plan?
00:47Kung ito po ang sinabi ng ating Secretary Vince Dizon,
00:52ito naman po ay dapat na makita
00:55kung ano ang magiging epekto ng major river basin plan lang
01:02ating gagamitin instead of the major master plan.
01:06So tignan po natin dahil tinitignan din po
01:10kung ano ang daan,
01:14kung ano ang topography ng ating bansa,
01:16kung saan mas mabuti.
01:18So although may mga nabanggit na about the master plan
01:20noong panahon ni dating Pangulong Aquino
01:24na mukhang hindi naman na-implement noong panahon nila.
01:28So at ngayon, ito daw ay,
01:32ang kopya ay naiwan, di umano,
01:34sa panahon ni dating Pangulong Duterte.
01:37Pero sa huli kong pakikipag-usap pa
01:41kay Secretary Bono Anon,
01:44ang sabi po niya
01:45nung tinanong po natin itong master plan na to,
01:48ay wala daw po silang natanggap.
01:51So ngayon, ang pinapailal po ng DPWH,
01:55inaaral muna ang,
01:56kung mag-aayusin po ang flood control
01:59per major river basin plan.
02:01At yun ang nakikita nila sa ngayon
02:04na ugma o tugma
02:07sa pinakalokasyon ng ating bansa.
02:11So we can assure,
02:12or can the palace assure the public siguro po ma'am,
02:14na in the absence of this national master plan
02:17sa flood control,
02:19eh coordinated pa rin yung approach
02:20and efforts ng administration
02:22in addressing the flood control problems.
02:24Eh hindi po sinasara ng administrasyon
02:27ang patungkol sa master plan.
02:29Pero still,
02:30dapat lahat itong aralin
02:31kung ano ang mas makakabuti
02:33sa ating bansa
02:35kung paano mas matutugunan
02:36ang problema sa pagbaha.
02:39Lalo na lalo na
02:40kung talagang napakalakas
02:41ng buhos ng ulan.
02:44So, lahat ang plano na pwedeng gamitin
02:47para matugunan ang problema sa pagbaha,
02:50eh pwede namang gamitin
02:51sabay-sabay.
02:52Gawing sabay-sabay
02:54nang hindi naman magkakaroon ng problema.
