RODZEL :
Fellow Filipinos, to PBBM it is very much understandable how we all want to end this perrenial funds corruption, thats causing suffering to every Filipinos esp the poor. But as much as I pray we can start a legacy of honest good governance, but let us not be consumed with such infuriation that we forgot we have a Mother Earth to save and time is running out. A climate change that keeps worsening linearly, while our flood control capacity are not only undersized but also FIX, which can be overwhelmed by rainfall intensity unpredictable Intensification and duration. The honest dire truth that even experts in Science, DOST DENR DPWH knows that these storm surge is now our NEW NORMAL, to stay for decades. But We need to ACT now if we are to stop the very Worst to happen from climate change cataclysm, threatening life existence. Admittedly we barely survived 2025 storm devastation but ironically the high emitters of CO2 like China US Russia & Japan commitment to NetZero is 2050-2060. Studies shows the IRREVERSIBLE effect is 2035 or even sooner, imagine a Storm Ondoy whose rainfall is 96mm which i was compel to proposed a 50 yr rainfall intensity factor on our flood control design , qouting it "Mabuti na ang sobra kaysa kulang". But as early as 2025, it was nearly exceeded by a 121mm storm. Hence we need to do a 2 Phase Solution, parallel to R2R approach, a natural & flood control infrastructure that is SUSTAINABLE to absorb the continuous increase of rainfall intensity . Comprehensive Nature base solution, and 2. Flood Security and water management, that will solved not only flooding but also Land Sinking & fresh water supply.
DOST DENR DPWH NWRB LGU we need your collective support, a Unified meeting is ASAP.
