The government is taking measures to mitigate the effects of the rainy season to the people in Central Luzon, according to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
According to the weather bureau, the rainy season has officially started with the La Niña phenomenon expected to hit the country later this year.
“Batid din po namin na matapos ang labis na tag-init, ang malakas na ulan at baha naman ang [kakaharapin] natin na suliranin sa susunod na ilang buwan,” the President said in his speech during the implementation of government programs in San Fernando, Pampanga on Friday.
“Kaya po pinaghahandaan na natin ang pagdating ng tag-ulan,” he added.
The Chief Executive said a standby fund worth PhP5 million has been allocated for disaster preparation for the region in the coming months.
The President said the Department of Public Works and Highways (DWH) has finished the Integrated Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaption Measures for low-lying areas in Pampanga.
“Noong Disyembre naman ay natapos na ng DPWH ang Integrated Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaption Measures para sa [mabababang] lugar dito sa Pampanga. Ito ay naglalayong mapabuti ang drainage system [at] mga daluyang [umaagos sa] mga ilog, lalo na kapag umuulan nang malakas,” the President explained.
The DPWH has also completed two key projects in Lubao and Floridablanca to ensure the safety of residents against landslides.
“Di ba nga ay ‘Keng leon, keng tigre, ecu tatakut’ (Sa leon, sa tigre, hindi ako natatakot), ‘di lalong hindi tayo natatakot sa mga darating na hamon dahil magkasama po tayo at tayo’y nakahanda,” President Marcos remarked.
The President is in Pampanga to personally distribute the presidential assistance to farmers, fisherfolk and their families that were affected by El Niño during the first half of the year. PND
