PRESIDENT Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. raised on Friday, July 26, 2024, the country’s need for a comprehensive national plan for flood control that will cover several regions, noting the changing weather patterns that threaten communities.During the situation briefing in Mauban, Quezon province on the effects of Typhoon Carina and Habagat, Marcos said government agencies, experts, and planners must consider climate change in drawing up a plan to respond to or mitigate flooding in the country.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration raised in March its alert and warning system to La Niña Watch.La Niña is seen to develop from June to August.In Metro Manila, which was badly hit by the combined effects of Habagat and Typhoon Carina, the Marcos flood control system is working but has encountered difficulties.Marcos earlier cited improper waste disposal and climate change as among the reasons for the massive flooding in Metro Manila.
