ICYMI: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is seeking to incorporate tree planting in the government’s flood control projects.

“So we have to include tree planting in our flood control. Dapat kasama ‘yan. Kung gagastos tayo sa flood control, kailangan may tree planting,” the President said.Meanwhile, Mangudadatu urged the Department of Public Works and Highways to speed up the completion of its flood control project in South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat.

Mangudadatu, in the same briefing, pointed out that Maguindanao is a catchbasin that is just being affected when it rains over South Cotabato, North Cotabato, or even Sultan Kudarat. However, 24 areas in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao , where Maguindanao is part of, experienced massive flooding due to Paeng.“Kasi Maguindanao is a catchbasin, so I’m appealing to our honorable secretary of DPWH na sana madaliin natin ‘yung flood control ng South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat.“Dahil ‘pag nauna natin ‘yun, hindi kami masyadong bahain dito.

For the Maguindanao governor, calamity funds are wasted because of floods since local governments focus on food packs and assistance instead of infrastructure. Following the briefing, Marcos distributed relief goods and assistance to households affected by Paeng in the BARMM.
