Suggestion to mitigate flooding at Hagonoy Bulacan, Masantol Macabebe in Pampanga

It is more fun criticizing

Flooding in Hagonoy Bulacan

The probable causes are:

1.  Ground sinking due to excessive ground water usage;
2.  Storm surges
3.   High tides
4.  Flooding from the Pampanga river

These towns figure out in regular flooding due to high tide.  Raising the road which eventually led to inundation of houses and their yards did not work.  Some installed barriers -  water got through anyway.   Why not:    

1.  Declare the towns uninhabitable  (just like what they did to Jakarta) They are transferring to Nasutra in Borneo.

2.  Put up immense dike structures as in Holland.  But that will cost the country huge Bs in budget (which as has been stolen)
