Former Cong and radio and TV commentator tackles effect of Typhoon Kristine, flooding at Cam Sur and Naga and alleged corruption of flood control funds
The typhoon has dumped tons of water at the said areas, but the level of flood has not gone down despite the time elapsed. Such mitigation of flood can be facilitated by flood control. Where are the flood control projects?
The Senate especially Senate President Chiz Escudero and Joel Villanueva are seeking accountability
A total of more than P106 billion has been appropriated for Bicol since 2020. These data can be seen and read at the GAA
The vicious cycle has to be broken:
Flood -----> relief operations/photo ops -----> investigations -----> budget again for flood control ---> typhoon brings in again flood.
Resilience is good but we have to rise above speeches, rhetoric, hearings
