Senator Joel Villanueva questioned the P215.6 billion budget allotted for flood prevention projects, specifically, why no projects ever actually get completed. | zacariansINQ

“Imagine P182 billion this year, next year P215.6 billion, nag-increase ng budget ng flood control natin ng 17.8 percent – almost 20 percent?” said Senate Majority Leader Villanueva in an interview with reporters.

“Kahit naman sa harap ng pangulo kaya kong sabihin iyon because in the past four decades, past probably five, six administrations, hindi talaga, hindi talaga nabubuo, walang pakinabang ito, nasasayang ang salapi ng bayan,” he added.
