One year after Typhoon Tino devastated Cebu, are we any safer from flooding?
Despite billions spent on flood control projects and promises of lasting solutions, residents continue to face worsening floods. In La Paloma Village, floodwaters reportedly reached approximately 10 feet during a recent flooding incident, with residents saying it was even worse than Typhoon Tino.
Where are the investigation findings? Who should be held accountable? And what concrete measures have been implemented to prevent another disaster?
Violy Musngi, president of the La Paloma Village Homeowners Association, and Retired Colonel Jefferson Omandam, former deputy commander of Cebu City's Task Force Gubat sa Baha, join Beyond the Headlines to discuss the continuing flooding crisis, the need for accountability, and possible solutions to make Cebu safer.

00:56Coffee first
00:58Then everything else
01:02Did Typhoon Tino teach us anything?
01:05Or are we simply waiting for the next disaster?
01:09Good afternoon
01:10Welcome to Beyond the Headlines
01:12I'm DJ Moises
01:13And today's conversation is brought to us by Coffee First
01:17One year since Typhoon Tino devastated Cebu
01:21Flooding has only gotten worse
01:23Not better
01:25Where are the investigation findings?
01:28Where is the accountability?
01:31And what concrete solutions have actually been implemented?
01:35President
01:36Ferdinand Bongbong
01:37Marcus Jr. on November 21, 2025
01:40In Metro Cebu promised
01:42And I quote
01:43Ang pangako sa atin
01:45One year
01:46So ang pangako sa akin
01:47Pag umulan ulit
01:49Hindi na magbabaha
01:51Well, Mr. President
01:52It's already one year this month
01:55And flooding has even gotten worse
01:58Despite billions spent on flood control projects
02:02Let's take the case of La Paloma Village
02:06Flood waters reportedly reached approximately 10 feet during severe flooding
02:12Residents say this was even worse than Typhoon Tino
02:16How did this happen?
02:18Let's look deeper and think better
02:21Joining us today are
02:23Violi Musngi
02:25President of La Paloma Village Homeowners Association
02:28And retired Colonel Jefferson Omandam
02:31Former Commander
02:32South District Cebu City Task Force Gubat Sa Baha
02:36So hello Violi
02:38Or President Violi
02:39Hello Violi
02:41And Colonel Omandam
02:43Welcome to Beyond the Headlines
02:44Yes
02:46Good morning
02:46Good afternoon
02:48Good afternoon
02:49Good afternoon
02:49Sige
02:50So it's the anniversary of Typhoon Tino
02:54But
02:54Ang topic na to largely karun
02:57Is also what's happening in La Paloma no?
03:00And the neighboring area
03:02So for the benefit of our viewers
03:04Can you tell us the current situation of La Paloma Village?
03:08Okay
03:09So we're talking of Tino before
03:12So by that time during Tino Typhoon
03:15There was flooding in La Paloma
03:17It was knee high
03:18Then later on by July 30 suddenly
03:22This year no?
03:24Yes this year 2025
03:26Suddenly a high waist high flood suddenly
03:29It was not Typhoon
03:31It was just thunderstorm
03:32Yes
03:33Then after that first Typhoon that was waist high
03:38Another rain comes
03:40Just little rains
03:41It floods
03:42Again it floods
03:44Again it floods
03:44Again it floods
03:45So we were wondering
03:46What's going on?
03:47What's happening?
03:48Without typhoons
03:49And then
03:50Just flooding comes
03:53Actually I've heard also no?
03:54About that situation
03:56I've read it from the papers
03:58That even when it's just ordinary lang na uwan
04:04So what's the situation then with the homeowners
04:07In my view
04:10You can tell me
04:11If I were in that situation
04:12Marag di ko ka move forward
04:13Kay ka na uwan
04:14Manglimpi naman saan kong balik
04:16So what's the situation?
04:18And how's the family or the neighborhood within the village
04:22Are also reacting to this situation?
04:24Okay
04:24So
04:24Ang
04:25Kada family
04:26We are so
04:28Kada
04:29Na phobia
04:30Every time it rains
04:32So gamay lang
04:32Baha
04:33Baha
04:33Baha
04:33Baha
04:34Baha
04:34Baha
04:34Baha

05:14Baha
05:14also highlighting this to our viewers. And hopefully the stakeholders will also take
05:21more urgent response because if we put ourselves in the shoes of those living in Tambisan and
05:33Napaloma, if they're good, if they're good, if they're clean, they're clean, and then
05:38they move on with their lives. But in their particular case, every day, it's clean. So
05:43how can they move forward? So they're practically living with that risk. So I would not be surprised
05:50if you're a phobia. So there's a map that we are going to share to our viewers. And this
05:58map is a simulation that's prepared by engineer Felrem Lohr of Cebu Institute of Technology
06:08University. And the one before this, this one. So can you educate our viewers about this
06:24diagram that's simulated by engineer Felrem Lohr of CITU?
06:33So this is a map that only shows that there are main inflows in Tambisan to Tampisan to Tampisan.
06:46Okay. Asa manigikan kini nga inflow? One of the inflows is the main
06:51gitsiya. Kaya butangan managihimuan manang lapaloma, ugdag ko, kaya nga drainage.
06:56So that's the main flow.
06:58Pero if you have to go upper, maagi na siya sa Santa Teresita, na street yagihimuan
07:05o culvert, box culvert, silted na kaay na siya. It was seven years in the making,
07:11but silted kaayos. So asa man ang tubig, sumu-overflow. Good. Another inlet
07:17ana niya, gikan na siya sa upper mga mga developed po nga lugar sa upper portion
07:23of Lapaloma. And the other one, kanang daku siya, gikan na siya sa, okay I have to mention
07:31pa siyo, because amok maginang gilakaw, gikan gina siya mainly pa siyo and other upper portions
07:38po sa Lapaloma, naana sila'y abutan sa upper tambisan, anha mag-abot na empty
07:44lot diha, anha mo tumpa ang daghan ka yung tubig, mo pa doon na siya dili sa
07:49Calantas Street sa Lapaloma. Block man po ang tambisan pa doon sa
07:54Calantas, ma-overflow na po. So diha na mo na-discovery nga ma-oday nga
08:00every time gamay nga uwan, bahak na yun. Kaya grabe na da yung overflow. Grabe ang
08:06hugaw. Then si mayor, inyong basura, okay. So if I mention
08:09mayor. Okay, so si mayor githin noon, first githin ba sa Lapaloma,
08:15ning ba man githin mila yung kadaganan githin si mayor din amang
08:18gisampit, no? So si mayor, ning i-respond githin da, yun, nakita na mo ka
08:23tong empty lot dito nga, bunganan, from patio, o sa may tambisan.
08:28Krab pee ang hugaw na if you have to sit, di kakakita sa tubig dito, puro
08:34diun hugaw. Then si mayor yung gilimpiuhan. But the problem is
08:39following week, naanapoy, naanapoy basura nga daghan. Until
08:46now, si mayor, si gigiglimpio di rin sa Lapaloma, si gigaw. At least na lang ni
08:51arang yun ang flow sa tubig. Nag one man to last week, wala na nagbaha siya.
08:58Pero manggod, nakita manggod na to, through this picture nga, ang sources sa tubig.
09:03Di kang magbaha siya sa taas.
09:07And for the benefit, although naka-indicate man siya sa diagram, but for the benefit of our
09:13viewers, kanang circle di ha, mauna ang Lapaloma area. So if we are to look at the
09:20situation upstream, no? Ang taas sa Lapaloma, because of the runoff, mura na na
09:27na himong catch basin ang Lapaloma. So sa ilatanan, mudagan ang
09:33tubig, no? So that's what the diagram is actually telling us, no? So, kanang, if we
09:40are to, kanang, look at that particular area ba? I think this question will now shift
09:47to kernel, no? Kanang, was this in the past, kaninga risk ba? Was this already kanang
09:55identified? Okay, looks like sa simulation, mudagan magil ang tubig. Oh, I mean, actually,
10:09Cebu is not a flat city. This is a rolling terrain with the mountains, immediate mountains
10:16sa western part, na ang mountains di ha. Na basically, business sa iba mga advanced
10:22countries, mountains are protected. Di pwede nang mag, umsay buhaton di ha, nga, walay
10:31macro perspective ang mga engineers nga ayuhon o sagmaini atong mga drainage
10:36system. Walo kunika rivers. Tanan, gikan sa, sa mga mountains na to, paingon sa sea. So,
10:45which is supposed to be, kung wala siya na disturbed, it's supposed to be
10:50favorable. Yes, because we have to, una, is identify and respect the natural flows of
10:57all rivers. Ang nahitabo, when, ah, we started that looking into the matter, kung kung sa'n
11:06man, nahitabo nga nung inali man eh. Neglected ang atong mga waterways. Ang atong mga easement,
11:13huwa nagiklaro. Sa balaod gani, kanang easement, sa urban center, mandato rin ng 3 meter
11:21easement gyan, from the bank of the river. Ang sa agricultural area, 20 meters, and din sa forest,
11:2840 meters. These are the areas that should be left open by the people. Ang nahitabo gikabayanan ang
11:36uban na tong mga rivers. So, we cannot, we cannot, ah, we cannot dictate the river where
11:42rivers go. Kaya, iya, aman ang agianan. Unya, because of, mo bian na nga, during the,
11:49koan, during the time of, ah, attorney Montuerto as vice chairman of the flood and
11:56denis council, naghim umiog, osaka resolution nga. I think, ang nakita na mo, there are three,
12:03three pronged approach that we are going to, ah, look into, para masolob ng problema. Number one
12:10talaga is engineering intervention. Kanang na ay gikan sa taas nga, makontrol ang
12:17iyang, ah, ang iyang pagbahapain sa ubos through the creation of dams, mga detention
12:25fund or retention fund. Then, we have to, ah, clear the 3 meter easement and what is
12:34important is the enforcement in our sanitation laws. Kaya ang mga rivers, gini mo mga
12:38labayanan ang mga, tanahan yun. Tanahan nga di, pwede na sa balay. So, we did not take
12:44care of our rivers.
12:45Mm-hmm. So, actually, based sa inyo ang dua ka-answers, I'm looking at katunan ay
12:52problem with drainage and sanitation, matong napuno po siya sa basura, and then upstream
12:58development, nga ni disrupt sa natural flow of water from the mountain supposedly going to
13:06the sea. And then, because of katupong mga violations sa easement, kung di magani hugaw ang
13:14waterways, constricted siya. Obstracted siya. Obstracted siya because of this. The reason I'm going to ask
13:21about this, Colonel, and not to put a blame on anybody ba, but for us to learn our lesson, okay?
13:28This is a
13:28problem that's built over time. Manisha ka ng last year lang. Yes, yes, correct. Over time. How did it
13:34also come to this? Nga naman untay ka ng approvals that's supposed to be done, no? Even before and
13:44after the building of a structure or even a development. How did it come to this? And
13:51context nga, not to blame, but para, di na natuusbon.
13:55Ah, well, na-argued sa Goberno Rapport, nga naman. Ang kanang, kanang, atong mga regulatory bodies,
14:05di ba na basta-basta kahatag o permit. But, it appears nga, medyo loose ang pag-implement sa mga
14:13balaod, animpursyon na, mabiyan na nga, mingon-minga, usama na giniglik naman itong mga waterways.
14:18Ang atong kalsada, dagahan ka iyong traffic enforcers. But, nobody is looking into the
14:24condition of all rivers. Sometimes, na yung mga, of course, na yung engineering
14:30intervention, like bridging, desilting, de-clogging. Pero, ah, we cannot maintain that unless
14:40everybody, yes, kanang, kanabitawang, manglimpyo ka, na may mga sanitation laws, di ipod ma-implement.
14:48Hmm.
14:49Na ay mga regulatory bodies nga nag-control sa pag-build o g-structures. Nga nung,
14:54umang mga river na to, makabayan na magandang building. So, these are the things that is really
14:59happening now. Now, with the new policy, hopefully, atong maklear na ma-recover na to ang atong mga
15:08isments, para ang tubig, makadalag yung diritsa sa dagat na dilig malunupan atong mga, ah, mga
15:15constituents. And for the benefit of our viewers ba, na yung mga photos here, that they can actually
15:22see the situation sa katong mga waterways. No? Ah, that's still from the same katong
15:30simulation. But katong photos sa waterways ba nga, we could really see nga ang uban sa ila, ah, kanang,
15:37we will not name names na lang, but this is how weird it has become. Aside from easements,
15:43nabitay ka ng mga waterways na, imbis mo lahos, na naman o ibalay, across, no? Sorry,
15:50nabutang yun ang balay, no? Yeah. So that's an example because for the benefit of our viewers,
15:54we're supposed across that house is, is, is, is a waterway. Yeah. Kanang, how in the name
16:05of progress did we put a house, no? It's a chapel. Oh, or a chapel, no? Ah, ah, which is,
16:14which is naputol ang waterway, no? So, mo na nga, it should not be surprising kung
16:19overflow siya kay natural waterway magigpunta siya, no? And the other thing
16:26lang, before I'll go back to kaning kang biole po, ah, kan na, that's the chapel, no? Kanang,
16:31it's also strange because aside siguro sa kanang gross neglect ba when it comes to
16:39approval, nagsugod na siguro niya sa kanang mga hangyo-hangyo. And then eventually,
16:44tungkol sa kadaghang exceptions that were made, it became the norm. Okay, hangyo-hangyo naman
16:50na nga. Pwede mo irog lang may dini. Uy, nang irog naman tanan. Pwede mo kabayo
16:55lang may dini. And then, i-kabayo naman tanan. And this is exactly the situation now. Yes,
17:00Colonel, you wanted to say something. Yes, ah, that's true, no? Ah, kanang, ah, very light
17:05ang itong pag, ah, ah, in force, ah, three meter is meant. Mm-hmm. Supposedly strict to taan
17:12imporsyon na niya. Kaniad tumung ko, dilipak kayo congested po ng Cebu. Mm-hmm.
17:17So, daghan pang madaganan ang tubig. Apang karondi? Imagine ha, we have eight major
17:25waterways. Mm-hmm. We have hundreds of tributaries. Mm-hmm. Nga karondi na makita ang
17:31uban. Mm-hmm. Where will the water go? Correct. Di raba na magkuhan. Di raba na siya ma...
17:36We cannot stop the water from going down, eh. Mm-hmm. The water needs to go to the sea. Yeah.
17:41Whatever.
17:41way. No? That's the way. It can find. Well, if you will block that weed, it will create
17:47problem to the people. Mm-hmm. So, hai time, hai time nagyod nga ato
17:52ning hinuktukan nga kaineng waloka mga medyo rivers and the tributaries should be
17:59given to the government nga. Surindel mo ane kay makatabang na to ni. Yeah.
18:03You have to, one, respect and love this gift from God nga gita ka, waloka rivers.
18:16We are on to this and hopefully, daily in our lifetime, but it's been a long time for the tourist
18:27industry.
18:28Once we have good easements, it's hard for our senior citizens.
18:39I don't live in La Paloma. I can't imagine.
18:47It's a hard decision if we need to clear the easement.
18:52But if we don't, then the problem is going back.
18:57Viole, you wanted to say something before I have a question with Colonel.
19:00Mr. Colonel, he's got hundreds of tributaries.
19:04But La Paloma itself, which is 11, with the developers up there.
19:09The 65 developers up there.
19:13The 65 developers, only 4 submitted.
19:16And then 11 tributaries, they contribute to the main inflow in La Paloma.
19:23So, it's tragic to think about.
19:26And if the viewers notice, we're even being more civil about the situation without necessarily calling them out.
19:37Yeah.
19:37But these are the developments in La Paloma.
19:45And at least you get to see the effort that there's no such name or names.
19:52Now, which leads me to Goy, Colonel.
19:56In one of these diagrams,
20:00This is the color-color diagram, so that our viewers will have a better appreciation.
20:11Because I'm actually referring,
20:13well, they are pulling out the photo or the diagram, Colonel.
20:17I'm referring to Katubitang, this is the coast.
20:20Then, if I remember correctly, there's downtown, midtown, uptown.
20:26So, Gapasakaan ako ang direction.
20:28That one.
20:30And then, there's Periurban.
20:33And then, after Periurban, that's the upland area.
20:37So, these are the five development areas.
20:42Ideally, if my understanding is correct,
20:47I got this diagram actually from architect Yumi Espina.
20:51Yumi, yeah.
20:52The Periurban is supposed to be for, if it's a business,
20:55the livestock, agricultural production,
21:00and the quote-unquote controlled development policies.
21:07Yeah, correct.
21:07Because, in the history of the viewers,
21:10obviously, because the top of it is the protected area.
21:13So, if it's paved, instead of green,
21:18this Periurban, if it's paved,
21:21then, this is supposed to be science in elementary, no?
21:24Yeah.
21:25No absorption.
21:26No absorption.
21:27No absorption.
21:28No absorption.
21:30From your observation,
21:32Carnaval, even you, Violin,
21:34you also live near the area.
21:36Do you encroach the residential in Periurban?
21:40Because I have a feeling that we are.
21:43Ah, that's it?
21:45Oh, that's it.
21:46If you were in the GY Square,
21:51in Balamban,
21:53I saw the structures that are permanent even.
21:56Mm-hmm.
21:57Mm-hmm.
21:58Mm-hmm.
21:59Mm-hmm.
22:00Mm-hmm.
22:01So,
22:03it comes to mind nga,
22:05ah,
22:06is this already a,
22:07ah,
22:08alienated to the,
22:10to the government?
22:11Mm-hmm.
22:12But anyway, ah,
22:13ang point ko lang is,
22:14ang development is moving rapidly
22:18versus sa planning sa local government units.
22:24Meaning,
22:24sa macro perspective,
22:25dapat identified na unta ka ng mga waterways.
22:28Correct.
22:28mga areas potential for retention,
22:32detention fund.
22:33Mm-hmm.
22:33Mga, mga,
22:35untouchable na,
22:35ang tanang na porsyon na.
22:37But, ah, you know,
22:38in, in, in exchange of development,
22:40basing dili ka ayo,
22:41wala,
22:42wala,
22:43they are not at par with each other.
22:45Mm-hmm.
22:45Mauna nga, ah,
22:46ang nahita mo is,
22:47there are, you know,
22:48encroachment already.
22:50Mm-hmm.
22:50So, if we can, ah,
22:52we can, ah,
22:53ah,
22:54abate this, no?
22:55Or,
22:56maybe,
22:56some sort of a moratorium,
22:58especially, aning, aning mga,
23:00kaning mga quarry operations na to.
23:02Mm-hmm.
23:02Kay, katong nag-inspeksyon man ga ni,
23:04ni,
23:05katon ni mentward to,
23:06after the Tino,
23:07which is today,
23:08is the one year na.
23:09Mm-hmm.
23:10Dito may sa, ah,
23:12ah,
23:12kening Del Rio.
23:14Oh, maluwi ka.
23:16Ang sediments.
23:17He can't summa mga quarry.
23:18Correct.
23:19So,
23:20that, that alone is a big problem.
23:22If we cannot, ah,
23:23stop, ah,
23:24ah,
23:24stop these, ah,
23:26operations and re-study,
23:27ah,
23:28maybe we can,
23:29we can hire experts to study this.
23:31And, ah,
23:32once and for all,
23:33solve this problem.
23:34Mm-hmm.
23:35And then,
23:35before I go back to the moratorium na question,
23:38can we, ah,
23:39show again katong diagram,
23:41para our viewers,
23:42okay,
23:43kay, kay,
23:44moning gitawag ni siya,
23:45nga,
23:45and, and,
23:46may reason, no,
23:47nga kanang gi-underscore ni na ako,
23:49because,
23:49this is,
23:50including everyday Cebuanos mangod,
23:52we should be guarding this, no?
23:54Diliragin na to niya siya,
23:55i-delegate fully to government, no?
23:57Those are the really five development areas, no?
24:01So, ideally,
24:03once we cross na kaning peri-urban,
24:05that's why,
24:06gilimit na ginunta ni siya supposedly to agriculture,
24:09livestock,
24:11animal husbandry,
24:12it's because,
24:13kanang,
24:14if dili ni siya maprotect,
24:16dahili yun, no?
24:17Mm-hmm.
24:17And then,
24:18so that's why,
24:19unusual supposedly,
24:21kung nain nag quarry ang nga area.
24:24And, I think,
24:25the reason why it's called controlled developments
24:27because,
24:29kanang,
24:29dili,
24:30pila ito ka 65?
24:3265.
24:33Imagine 65 developers,
24:35this,
24:35we're just talking here about the,
24:37the,
24:39kanang lapaloma tambisan, no?
24:41And we don't know pa,
24:42asa pa ni buban,
24:43but these are already 65 sa taas nila, no?
24:46And I hope our viewers,
24:47kanang understood ba,
24:49na,
24:50kanang,
24:51kaniyuntang 65,
24:53ideally,
24:53before,
24:54in the first place,
24:55wala,
24:55o gilunta sila diha, no?
24:57But, sige na lang,
24:57kaya controlled developments na sila diha.
24:59Nag-meeting gilunta ni sila,
25:00tanan?
25:01Because,
25:02if they operate in silos,
25:03mong good,
25:04it's,
25:04it's likely to happen,
25:06masulbad nila ang ilaang area,
25:08mapasa nila sa upan.
25:10That's why,
25:10I think that's what controlled development means.
25:13Na, okay,
25:1465 mo kabuok dinhingan,
25:16gitagaan o exception,
25:18magsabot ta,
25:20once ibutang natong catchment,
25:22for all of you, no?
25:24Dili iya-iya.
25:25Unsay waterways na itong i-compensate,
25:28for all of you,
25:29dili mag-iya-iya.
25:30Karun,
25:30ang nihappen is,
25:31they just took care of themselves.
25:34So,
25:35naghagba ang tubig under,
25:37under La Paloma.
25:38So, you've mentioned about,
25:40in La Paloma,
25:41you've mentioned about moratorium.
25:43This one actually is,
25:44I also got this from Sunstar, no?
25:47And,
25:48ano ta?
25:49August,
25:502026.
25:51So, that's just a few months,
25:53uh,
25:54ago.
25:54Sunstar reported that,
25:56a proposed moratorium,
25:58on the new upland developments.
26:00For our viewers,
26:01pasabot anay ceasefire.
26:03No?
26:03Freeze,
26:04SATA, no?
26:05So, that's what moratorium actually means.
26:07Remain, no?
26:10Unenforced.
26:11Kanangun sa'yo,
26:12mabuhat na to,
26:13for this to be enforced.
26:15Okay,
26:16ceasefire lang yun, no?
26:17Ang kanina yun,
26:17supposedly,
26:18ang purpose sa quad is,
26:19just to,
26:20kung sa company,
26:22temporary solution siya.
26:23It will not solve the problem,
26:25but,
26:25mula lang sa tag,
26:26hunong lang sa tag for now.
26:27Restraining lang sa.
26:28Oo.
26:30Ang,
26:31ang quad ako ano is,
26:33naamagyo'y,
26:35madunggan ni mong,
26:36I'm living in the mountain area,
26:39naamagyo'y madunggan ni mga,
26:41doonay night operations.
26:43Nga,
26:43maglagobo'y,
26:44kung an'bah,
26:45kanang,
26:46kanabitawong,
26:46kanagbako,
26:47hiyanap yung mga truck na managay.
26:49Usara man ang karsada diha,
26:51paingon sa talamban.
26:53Dago po na,
26:54mga tin wheeler trucks.
26:56Di,
26:57kami rin may magkadungan po,
26:58di magkadungan sa oban.
27:00So,
27:01tahanan ko is,
27:03I think there is a need,
27:04to improve,
27:05di,
27:06di,
27:06ah,
27:08enforcement of environmental laws.
27:11Okay?
27:11O,
27:11mag-permanentine.
27:12Although,
27:13dili na kayo'y massive,
27:14siguro doon ay,
27:15as compared before,
27:18nga,
27:18kuanto,
27:18lip and red,
27:19makita ni mo nga,
27:20kung, kung, kung yun.
27:21Karoon,
27:21alay, madunggan ni mong hinahinay.
27:23So, nag-reduce ang,
27:24ang activity,
27:25o ang activity,
27:26gano'ng gabi,
27:27yung mansad.
27:27Diba?
27:29Usai weekend,
27:30madunggan ni mo nga,
27:31naglagobo'y nga mako.
27:32So,
27:34there is a need,
27:35to improve the,
27:36ah,
27:36implementation of this law.
27:39O,
27:39mag-sige mag-unig,
27:41kaning kwari ta sa taas,
27:44by nature,
27:46na-alter ang mountains,
27:49na-loosen siya.
27:50Pag mag-ulan,
27:51ang sediments,
27:52dritso na sa suba.
27:53Pag kusog ang ulan,
27:55ang,
27:56namakyan dito mga tao,
27:57dilibyagyan purely,
27:59kanang flood nga water.
28:00It's because,
28:01of the,
28:02huge sediments,
28:03coming from this,
28:04aquari operators.
28:05Mawala dyan.
28:06So,
28:06ah,
28:07tanaw na ko,
28:08kanilang matanaw sa niya,
28:09kay,
28:09medyo,
28:09dini matanaw.
28:10It is,
28:10it would be catastrophic later on,
28:13kung, dini matanaw kay,
28:14kontributor yun.
28:16Contributor yun.
28:17Now,
28:17no amount of,
28:18magsigitag diselto niya,
28:20afterwards,
28:20puno na po,
28:21kuhan,
28:21seltid na po,
28:25dugagan pag basura.
28:27So,
28:27that's the problem.
28:29And,
28:30the reason why,
28:31kanang,
28:32when I saw,
28:33kaning the,
28:33August moratorium ba,
28:36Murabag,
28:36supposedly,
28:37for me,
28:39kanang,
28:39we're not even stopping it yet,
28:43no?
28:43We just wanted it,
28:45temporarily,
28:47to pause,
28:48no?
28:49Supposedly.
28:50So,
28:50at the very least lang,
28:52so, I hope,
28:53Monang,
28:53that's why,
28:53we are educating the viewers,
28:55para,
28:56if you live in the neighboring areas,
28:59ba,
28:59kanang,
29:00kanang namoy,
29:01kanang,
29:03kanang,
29:04we go out of our way,
29:06to actually report,
29:08no?
29:08Because, kabalo namang yun mo nga,
29:09ang kaning peri-urban,
29:10is supposed to be controlled,
29:12no?
29:13So, dili siya pwede,
29:14kanang,
29:15at random lang.
29:16So, we,
29:17we need to do this together,
29:18and,
29:19at least the first step lang,
29:21is ang moratorium lang yung ceasefire,
29:23and then let's do a,
29:24katong,
29:25consolidated na,
29:26root cause analysis,
29:28and then,
29:29whatever that finding is,
29:30then we can,
29:31La Paloma and Tambisan can also,
29:33move forward,
29:35no?
29:35So,
29:36ang,
29:36akong,
29:37actually,
29:38is on the,
29:39I think,
29:40na-cover naman na to,
29:41ang,
29:42ang moratorium na piece,
29:44no?
29:44So,
29:45I've also heard,
29:46nga,
29:46napoy ka ng mga steps,
29:48that are being taken,
29:49kay Morag Kanide siya,
29:50na,
29:51problema sa taas,
29:52napun siya itong,
29:53ah,
29:53drainage issue po,
29:55sa,
29:55ubos, no?
29:56Mauna nga,
29:57ni, ni, ni, ni,
29:58ni sakagin ang tubig.
29:59How is that,
30:00also being addressed?
30:02So, for the benefit of the viewers,
30:03ni dahili ang tubig,
30:04so, nahi mong catch basin,
30:06blocked man, said me,
30:07so, nanaka ang tubig, no?
30:08So,
30:09actually,
30:10for now,
30:10wala pag,
30:11action taken for that.
30:13Among na,
30:14among na,
30:15na,
30:15nakita nga,
30:17nindut ka ayaw ang development sa taas,
30:19nindut ka ilang drainage,
30:20putig yung dagua,
30:21but,
30:22nag wonder ko,
30:23nga nga,
30:23nga nung pag-abot diri sa ubos,
30:29puti na lang yung gagmaya,
30:31na, di nakakita,
30:32okay, going to Kinalungsan,
30:33magid na,
30:34Kinalungsan River,
30:35ang Kinalungsan River,
30:37natabunan na,
30:38ang mga structure,
30:39niya,
30:39itong mga tao dito,
30:40kami, ma'am,
30:42apaw gitmi din eh.
30:43Unya,
30:43umulakaw pag yung gasunahan,
30:45na ay building,
30:47nga nag,
30:47alisa,
30:50you don't say a river anymore,
30:51ang Kinalungsan.
30:52It's just a canal na.
30:53And for the,
30:54our technical team,
30:55katong photo nga na'y manok.
30:57Para at least,
30:58because that's a powerful,
30:59photo of a waterway,
31:02which is already just,
31:04my gosh,
31:04it's a canal.
31:05It's a canal.
31:06Imagine.
31:07Inana naka-constricted,
31:09ang nahita mo.
31:10Can you believe that?
31:12That's,
31:13that's a waterway,
31:14from a flooded area.
31:15Yeah.
31:16So, inana,
31:17ka-frustrating,
31:19ang amoang situation,
31:20to find out.
31:21Decades,
31:22may kalibutan,
31:23diha sa La Paloma.
31:25Even ang taga-tambisan,
31:26may kalibutan.
31:28Just recently,
31:29naman yung buong maging,
31:30nagsunod-sunod mo,
31:31nang amuan ng gisa ka dito,
31:33na-shock ko,
31:34pagkakita na ako nga.
31:35Where is the kinalungsan?
31:37Obstructed.
31:38Gihin mo na lang,
31:39ang river,
31:40gihin mo na lang,
31:41kanal.
31:41Oh, can you email,
31:42this is supposed to be,
31:43a river,
31:45a waterway.
31:46And,
31:48muna gina kung anay manok,
31:49kay ma-define ang iyong size ba,
31:51inana sa kagamay.
31:52Actually,
31:53and then the other one,
31:54can they show ka itong nai kural?
31:56There's a photo there also nga nai kural,
31:59no?
32:02I think the next,
32:04the next pagyod,
32:06awala nga.
32:07Okay,
32:08but there's a photo there nga,
32:10napoy kural, no?
32:11Which is,
32:12violation sa isma,
32:13correct.
32:14Can I,
32:15wag man sa ka-experience nilang biwuli,
32:17long before.
32:18Mm-hmm.
32:19Kaya nga naman,
32:20ang,
32:21ang,
32:22pag,
32:22constrict mangkut sa mga rivers,
32:24dili instant,
32:25balay gamay dili,
32:26balay diha.
32:27Balay diha.
32:28Anto nagkagamay,
32:29kato nagkagamay na yun,
32:31ning ulan,
32:31diha pa sila naka-experience.
32:33So, kani anto,
32:34dili lunopan ng lapaloma.
32:35We thought,
32:36sikat ka yung lapaloma.
32:37Dili,
32:37dili malunopan na,
32:38because,
32:40because of the gradual encroachment,
32:43no?
32:44Gradual encroachment of our,
32:45of course,
32:46of the people there,
32:48sa mga,
32:49esment na katira,
32:50nagkagamay,
32:51nagkagamay.
32:52Time comes nga,
32:53ning gamay na yun,
32:54ning ulan ang kusog,
32:55dito na.
32:56Nakita na,
32:56wala na,
32:57nalunopan na ta.
32:58So, sa o na,
32:59dili pa na,
32:59dili pa na,
33:00ang lunopanan ang lapaloma.
33:02Dili.
33:02Kanon lang gina.
33:04So,
33:05ah yes,
33:06this is,
33:07the one.
33:08Katong underneath,
33:09sa photo,
33:10for the sake of our viewers,
33:11marag ka nang naglabay-labay nga,
33:13beyond the headlines,
33:14but supposedly,
33:15you can see,
33:16ang tapad na ng wall,
33:17is a small canal,
33:18sad.
33:19And, it's not supposed to be a canal.
33:21Yeah.
33:22It is a waterway.
33:24No?
33:25Kanao,
33:26karangisaka na nila.
33:27You can see,
33:28sa viewers na to,
33:29unsan na lang siya kanipis.
33:30No?
33:30But that,
33:31so, kanal na lang siya karoon.
33:33But that's supposed to be,
33:34a river.
33:35A river.
33:36Yeah.
33:36Can you imagine?
33:38No?
33:38So, kanang,
33:40that's why,
33:41ako na lang mo,
33:41spokesperson.
33:43That's why,
33:44kaninga conversation is really, kanang,
33:46urgent.
33:47Because,
33:47panawagan sa niya,
33:48not only sa ito ang mga,
33:50enforcing agencies,
33:52in terms of kaning naghatag,
33:53aninga mga licensing and permits,
33:55nga anong na,
33:56na issue siya.
33:57But the other piece also is,
33:59whoever ni sila,
34:01so,
34:02so, this is outside government already.
34:04Although, this is jurisdiction of government.
34:06But,
34:06I hope sad na,
34:07whoever ni sila ba,
34:09sila na lang po ang mo clear the way.
34:12Because to begin with,
34:14you are not supposed to be there.
34:17To begin with.
34:19kabaluman mo nga,
34:20murabag,
34:20kung ako lang siya i oversimplify,
34:23ako ang ni ali.
34:25No?
34:25And then,
34:26I'm seeing already nga,
34:27pag ali na ko,
34:29nagyabuyabo ang tubig sa lain.
34:31So,
34:31what's the course of action?
34:33Pinoy mang katatanan,
34:34di ba?
34:35I will have to,
34:37move aside.
34:38No?
34:38Murag,
34:39I mean,
34:39I hope dilita mag huwat sa to,
34:41government.
34:42Murabag,
34:43wait,
34:43walay baha sa Napaloma.
34:45But,
34:45isa ko sa nag-ali-ali din eh,
34:47na deposit na noon din to tanan.
34:49So, what should I do as an everyday human being?
34:52Clear the way,
34:53because,
34:54I'm not supposed to be in this path.
34:56No?
34:56So,
34:56governance issue po ni siya,
34:58but,
34:59may napulong ta ang problema sa toang gobyerno,
35:02if kitang nag-ali-ali,
35:04ni hawa sa ta.
35:05Anyway,
35:06yes, continue violing.
35:07another thing po,
35:08drabang problema,
35:08as we have mentioned earlier,
35:10kanapong basura.
35:11No?
35:12The discipline of throwing the garbage,
35:14kurabi yun.
35:15Katuang gingon nga ng limpi sa mayor,
35:17400 DP personnel came,
35:20following week,
35:22following week,
35:22the same number,
35:23the same garbage of,
35:25pile of garbage.
35:27Sanitation laws.
35:29so,
35:29monang kulisura,
35:30on sa on,
35:31ang usap po,
35:32sa ako ang nakita.
35:34So,
35:34Sharon,
35:35it has been there,
35:36decades and decades.
35:40decades,
35:41decades na ning ingon-ani,
35:42ang obstruction,
35:43decades na ning ingon-ani,
35:44ang basura,
35:45ning solidified,
35:47katungisaw sa,
35:48tubig from upper portions,
35:51solidified.
35:52Kanos a panigilimpihan.
35:54So,
35:55unta ang,
35:55there should be a periodic cleaning up unta,
35:58from our government.
36:00No?
36:00Umuingonsag ko.
36:01Para sa unta,
36:02ma-prevented.
36:03Na,
36:04anamang yun na sila.
36:05But what about the,
36:06the,
36:07the,
36:08the cleaning,
36:09the,
36:09the maintenance cleaning?
36:11Grabe naman o siltation.
36:13Usaka inlet sa amua,
36:14katungisaw sa upper portion,
36:16silted.
36:17Katoin ko,
36:17seven years in the making,
36:19nga,
36:19nga,
36:20nga,
36:21catchment ko an,
36:21sa box,
36:23huwag yan,
36:23useless.
36:24Unya,
36:25katusad picas,
36:27katungisaw na solidified.
36:28Everything is silted.
36:30Grabe siltation.
36:31Mag,
36:32nagsargul ang yuta,
36:34nagsagul ang basura.
36:36So frustrating.
36:38and,
36:38and,
36:38and,
36:39hopefully,
36:40we,
36:40we talk about this.
36:42I remember when I started with Beyond the Headlands,
36:44we talked about this even last year,
36:45no?
36:46Nga,
36:46there,
36:47basi makalimugos akong thought.
36:48There is a strange pattern po nato nga,
36:50kanabi taong,
36:51instead of periodic na kanang activity ba,
36:53including cleaning,
36:55murag usually mo clean yuta kung na'y problema.
36:57Nagbaha.
36:58Pagka abotan na mga bot,
36:59limbyuhan, no?
37:00But,
37:01we don't recognize nga.
37:02Two-way ni siya.
37:03Ang kita,
37:03dita maglabay-labay pataka.
37:05The other one also is,
37:06there should be a periodic,
37:07clean up.
37:08Nga,
37:09the reason why I want to highlight this,
37:10because,
37:11some of us,
37:12not just the government,
37:13mag-think na raba nga,
37:14Uy, mag,
37:15El Niño.
37:16Okay na ta mo,
37:17relax, no?
37:18But guys,
37:19if you remember,
37:20Ondoy happened during El Niño, ha?
37:22So that means,
37:23even if there's a limited rainfall,
37:26it doesn't mean,
37:27nga dita mabundakan,
37:28o,
37:29huge amount of rainfall.
37:31So,
37:31this is not the time to relax.
37:34No?
37:34Nga mo yung ta nga,
37:35sige lang,
37:35first half of the year,
37:37super El Niño.
37:37No, no, no, no.
37:38Ondoy happened in Metro Manila,
37:40in Luzon,
37:41during El Niño.
37:42Yes.
37:43Sige.
37:43So,
37:44Karol,
37:44move na ta in the possible courses of action.
37:46So we've mentioned moratorium.
37:48We've mentioned about easement.
37:49So,
37:49enforcement of the easement.
37:51And then,
37:51katun na lang,
37:52nag-ali-ali dito,
37:53hawa na lang, no?
37:55Kanang voluntarily.
37:55The other one is,
37:57I saw another diagram.
37:58And this is, again,
37:59prepared by engineer,
38:03Felrem, no?
38:04Lore of CITU.
38:06Katong na ay,
38:09aerial kana.
38:10That's the one.
38:11Sige.
38:11This is a possible solution.
38:14So, Vioni,
38:15can you walk us through this one?
38:18And I can help you, actually.
38:19Sige.
38:19So,
38:20kanang nga map,
38:21makita nato, no?
38:22Ang inflow sa tubig.
38:23Ang kanang green,
38:25that shows,
38:25maugin na siya ang gihim mo.
38:27Nga main inflow.
38:29Kunya, naalig din,
38:30gamay diha nga,
38:32obstruction kay,
38:33ning gamay giyod ang connection
38:35from Tambisan to Lapaloma.
38:37So, mamanta na ay,
38:38sige nilag-ingon nga padakan,
38:39but until na wala pa mang giyod.
38:41Okay.
38:42Kunya, kanang sa ibabaw po,
38:44nga ay violet diha.
38:46Hmm.
38:46Another inflow po na,
38:48from the upper portion.
38:49Hmm.
38:49Sa Lapaloma.
38:50Kunya,
38:51diripod sa,
38:52diripod sa,
38:53diripod sa,
38:53diripod sa right side,
38:54I'm virtually looking at it.
38:56Hmm.
38:56Mauna na siya ang gihkan sa,
38:57developments from up.
38:58Okay.
38:59We say Paseo.
39:00Okay.
39:00Mention na ginakuha ha.
39:01Ang gihkan din siya sa Paseo.
39:03Ang Paseo po,
39:04napon na siya,
39:04upper development.
39:06Ngamuhagbong po,
39:07padung sa ilaha.
39:09Hagbong dihaan ng empty space
39:10sa Lapaluma.
39:11Katong,
39:12limpiuhan ni Mayor,
39:15padung po sa Lapaluma.
39:16Hmm.
39:17And then,
39:17kanang diha sa may Lapaluma.
39:19Magigyan at itong sa may Paseo.
39:20Padung on,
39:21siya sa street.
39:22Kanang na ay,
39:23green diha nga.
39:24Kalanta Street.
39:26Mauna ang nakita na ito,
39:27ganina nga na ay chapel.
39:28Kay Block Mampudsiya.
39:30Katong,
39:31kanal na lang.
39:32That's supposedly the,
39:33the,
39:35Kinalumsan River.
39:36Kinalumsan River.
39:36Imagine river,
39:37kanal na lang.
39:38Continue.
39:38Ang kanang green diha,
39:39Lapaluma,
39:40na anay,
39:41gihimus lang dagkong culvert
39:42that is 72 inches.
39:44Okay.
39:44Mauna siya ay mo outflow
39:46going to,
39:47Kinalumsan River.
39:49Kailawaan Street,
39:50Almasiga Street,
39:51wadiyan Lapaluma.
39:52Mogawas na siya
39:53sa Kinalumsan River.
39:54Dito sa,
39:55Laplis,
39:55Danas,
39:56Katipunan.
39:57But,
39:58ang outflow po niya,
39:59gamay kaayong nga drainage.
40:01Gamay kaayong nga drainage.
40:03Unya,
40:03ang kanang Kinalumsan po,
40:05asa mo outflow,
40:06ang tananta ng tubig diod,
40:08ni gamay na lang po,
40:10ang Kinalumsan River.
40:11So,
40:12it needs stretching na po.
40:14Or even,
40:15get out of the way.
40:17Yeah.
40:18Ito mga structures,
40:19mga balay diya,
40:20get out of the way.
40:22So, mauna kasi siya nga,
40:23inighagbong diya sa,
40:24tanang tubig from upper,
40:26of course,
40:28inigapuno po sa Kinalumsan,
40:29from other portion,
40:30putog asa, tugikan,
40:32awas diod.
40:33Awas diod,
40:34ang amuang lugar.
40:35Nag-abot.
40:36Anak ng roadtowers.
40:38And,
40:39panawagan po din siya
40:40sa itong mga get out of the way.
40:41Okay.
40:42Enforcement is so,
40:43napuwi ka ng kabalo naman
40:44ginunta sila,
40:44nag-ali-ali sila.
40:46Get out of the way.
40:47Akong analogy nga,
40:48ma-kwanani,
40:49is,
40:49kanabi itong mag-reedlock ang traffic
40:51kaya ang crossing,
40:53burutan na nagpaugat.
40:54Diba?
40:54As you can say,
40:55as you will see,
40:56kung nanagay na ang situation,
40:58naagay mo giveaway.
40:59Okay.
41:00Otherwise,
41:00bang-bang ginutanan
41:01for 24 hours,
41:03for one week,
41:04for one month,
41:05kung wala,
41:07giy mo iro.
41:08Diba?
41:08That's agreed lang.
41:09I think this is similar to that.
41:12Naagay mo giveaway.
41:14Kay kung puro tanan,
41:16muingon nga,
41:17I will stay where I am,
41:19then bahaan gin mo di ha,
41:21puros.
41:21So,
41:23somebody will have to move,
41:25to,
41:25to move the water.
41:27Yeah.
41:28Otherwise,
41:29lumos lumos na tayo na kadaulan.
41:30Pinalumsan na eh.
41:32Pinalumsan naman.
41:32Muna nga,
41:33how,
41:34how important is the,
41:36trimeter is meant.
41:38Correct.
41:38That, uh,
41:39the law,
41:40uh, provides.
41:42It should be,
41:42it should be followed and respected.
41:45Because,
41:46imagine,
41:46Kinalumsan,
41:47from a river,
41:48to a mere canal.
41:50Correct.
41:50Now,
41:51what will happen,
41:53during inclement weather?
41:55Or, let's say,
41:56torrential rains.
41:58Correct.
41:59ang tubig mo ulbo,
41:59paingon nga,
42:00paingon nga to,
42:00sa area nga,
42:01ngayang,
42:02sa Kinalumsan river.
42:03Correct.
42:06What will happen,
42:08ang tubig mo ulbo,
42:09paingon nga,
42:09paingon nga palumanasad.
42:10Yeah.
42:11So,
42:12um,
42:13the,
42:14East Mint law,
42:15muna nga,
42:16g-create nga na,
42:17ang water code of the Philippines.
42:19Because,
42:19it is very important,
42:20labi na sa urban centers.
42:22Correct.
42:22Without that,
42:24wala na,
42:25unregulated na,
42:26rubo-rubo na tayo,
42:27wala na,
42:28eh,
42:29mag-listenin ko ng mga tao,
42:31kung saan,
42:31pag-survive ba niya,
42:32labi na ng Lapaluma,
42:33nang-destroy ang mga gamit nila.
42:35Hmm.
42:35And,
42:36it is also true to,
42:38Tino,
42:39karoon ang anniversary sa,
42:41ah,
42:41Del Rio among others.
42:43Kaya, dito mo po sa Luzaran,
42:45nakuampag gamit siya,
42:46ang Tino.
42:47So,
42:48nakita na ko nga,
42:49ang East Mint,
42:50kung na-respeto pa na,
42:52na-recognize,
42:54na-gipanga nato ng East Mint,
42:55ang tubig,
42:57ulbo-mga,
42:58lang-dil,
42:58maka-destroy ang mga property sa mga tao.
43:01Kaya,
43:02the water is,
43:03the water is,
43:05and the water can just pass it away.
43:07Diba?
43:07And,
43:08by the way,
43:09for those,
43:09para ma-imagine nila,
43:10some portions of Lapaluma,
43:1210 feet ang water ha,
43:14and it's not Tino.
43:15Imagine,
43:1610 feet,
43:16no?
43:17So,
43:18makalumos siya actually.
43:19Sa bungalong house,
43:21that is 10 feet ha eh.
43:22Wag yun,
43:23roof na lang mabirin.
43:24So, in ana,
43:25kalala ang Lapaluma,
43:27worse than Tino.
43:28So,
43:29ako karun.
43:30Sige.
43:31So, karun to close the episode.
43:33Okay.
43:33So,
43:34and this is for both Bioli and for Kinang Colonel.
43:37How can we move this forward?
43:39Because we need to move this forward.
43:41Okay.
43:42Mauna Colonel,
43:44ang ako karun,
43:46out of my frustrations,
43:47how strong,
43:49to whom should we come into,
43:51to implement this three easement policy?
43:56And then,
43:56ka na pong waste segregation,
43:59ka na basura.
44:00How strong could we implement to that?
44:02What about our LGU?
44:04Naglibog ko.
44:05Kaya ako,
44:06I for one,
44:08Presidente ko sa Lapaluma,
44:09gusto ko waste segregation,
44:11pero,
44:12iniguan,
44:13asa nyo pang labay?
44:15Gisegregate ba na nyo iniglabay?
44:17Paglabay dito,
44:18ipon raman ma'am.
44:19Magsegregate pataan eh.
44:21Nagaipon raman eh,
44:22ang basura dito.
44:24So,
44:24the implementation is in my mind.
44:27Unsa man,
44:27that's the frustration in me,
44:29as an ordinary citizen.
44:32Could we,
44:33whom should we come to,
44:35to be able to implement all this
44:37that we're talking about?
44:39Actually no,
44:40ako na,
44:41ako na.
44:42Ako,
44:42bago lang kong naabot ni kan sa US,
44:44last month no,
44:45niya,
44:46while there,
44:47nag-observe ko anong mga,
44:49mga,
44:50mga,
44:51mga agenda nga,
44:52river,
44:53mga,
44:53anong sani,
44:54kanong basura.
44:55Dito,
44:57gerispito ganilang balawad.
44:58Yeah.
44:59They respect the law.
45:00And then,
45:01they respected the natural waterways.
45:04Di ginehelatan,
45:05especially the mountains.
45:07Nobody can alter.
45:08Alter na dito.
45:09Apreso, get it?
45:11pinanggagay nilang yung natural resources.
45:13nakita na ako,
45:14kung diligan ni Panggaon,
45:15sa mga taga Cebu,
45:17at ang mga constituents ni rin,
45:19tako gin yung problema.
45:20So,
45:21we have the law on East Mint law.
45:23We have the,
45:24law on the basura.
45:26We have sanitation laws.
45:27Ito lang paandaro ng Asia.
45:30Yeah.
45:31There should be a,
45:32of course,
45:33holistic approach.
45:34Not just the,
45:35LGU,
45:36the city.
45:37Di ba lang kay captains,
45:38and especially the residents.
45:40Kung,
45:40di ba nga pwedeng,
45:42daily holistic approach?
45:44Kay daily holistic approach niya.
45:46Antay mga balawad.
45:47Ito lang ginang tanahon niya,
45:48implement it to the litter.
45:49Yeah.
45:50we will experience the same catastrophe
45:53in the near future.
45:55And if we don't do something now,
45:58it will grow worse.
45:59Yes.
46:00And worse.
46:02kato,
46:03kanang enforcement.
46:05Hopefully,
46:05ang ato ang government agencies
46:07who are kanang watching,
46:09kanang we would respect na ang katong
46:11controlled development
46:12in the peri-urban area.
46:14Ang quarrying in the peri-urban area,
46:17they should not have been there
46:19to begin with.
46:20Especially now,
46:22nga,
46:22perte na yung baha.
46:23So that's where the moratorium,
46:25no?
46:26Should come, no?
46:27Kanang, kanang,
46:27let's just be,
46:29kanang,
46:29human being, no?
46:30Nga,
46:30ang atong dipang buhat,
46:32is actually causing people to suffer.
46:35No?
46:35So murag,
46:35let's get out of the way niya.
46:37Katong mga nakitaan ninyo nga,
46:39katong,
46:40kinalumsan river,
46:40nga,
46:41gipang patong-patongan.
46:42I hope this episode is also a,
46:44kanang magka-pause and reflect ba.
46:46Because I know nga,
46:47they also spent money, no?
46:49For the structure.
46:51They also paid for the property.
46:53It's not an easy decision.
46:55But, you know,
46:55as we know in life,
46:57the harder choice is usually the correct one.
46:59No?
47:00So, so,
47:01and so that,
47:02kanang,
47:02in combination kaning efforts
47:04sa atong government agencies,
47:07atong LGU,
47:08and, and,
47:09ang everyday Cebuanos,
47:11then,
47:12including waste segregation,
47:14et cetera,
47:14we,
47:15we,
47:15we can solve this, no?
47:17But we have to do this together,
47:19and,
47:20I'll have to add one component,
47:23somebody's got to give.
47:26No?
47:26Dili pwede nga,
47:27sila'y sulban ani ayaw lang ko.
47:29Sila'y irog ayaw lang ko.
47:31Kung irog, irog ita.
47:32Irog ita taan.
47:33Okay.
47:34Okay.
47:34Okay.
47:35Okay.
47:35Yeah,
47:35ang akot sa unta'ng panawagan nga.
47:38Hining ato'ng aroong plano, no?
47:40ibutangan siya ngipon.
47:42And then,
47:42ato'ng iinstitutionalize.
47:44Kaya kinsaman ang mupuli unta nga government,
47:48i-continue,
47:49gitsiya.
47:49Make it an institution,
47:52institutionalize, gitsiya.
47:53Kaya mag-implementa karoon
47:55ang musunod, wala na pod.
47:56Mauni atong frustration
47:57sa atong lugar.
47:59Diba?
48:00And in my opinion,
48:02but in my opinion,
48:06naka-remember lang ko,
48:06some people,
48:07they would ask ba nga,
48:08ang limitation is ang kaning
48:10three-year term.
48:11But,
48:13that to me is debatable.
48:14I think,
48:15ang key judani is,
48:17supposedly,
48:19institutionalize,
48:20regardless of mag-ilis.
48:21Ilis ni siya kada tulog katuig.
48:24Ang katong expert,
48:26magpabilin nga expert.
48:28O ang katong nasabutan na master drainage plan,
48:31will remain as the master drainage plan.
48:35So, it doesn't,
48:36supposedly,
48:36hindi na ito siya i-blame
48:37sa kaning three-year term.
48:38I think we should blame this
48:40ato ang mga kinaiya.
48:41Because,
48:41if we really institutionalize things,
48:44then,
48:45even with the three-year term,
48:47this is still manageable.
48:48So, thank you very much.
48:50It's a passionate discussion.
48:53Thank you,
48:54Bioli,
48:54and thank you,
48:55Colonel Amandam,
48:55for being here,
48:57and for joining us in this,
48:59may yung takog special,
49:01but,
49:03hindi ma'am siya happy special.
49:05Urgent special episode, no?
49:07As we commemorate,
49:09one year.
49:09Oh, Tino.
49:10After Typhoon Tino.
49:12So, salamat.
49:15Thank you very much.
49:15Okay.
49:16Sige.
49:16Flooding is a problem
49:18of urban planning,
49:20environmental protection,
49:22infrastructure,
49:24and governance.
49:28Behind every flood statistic
49:31are family,
49:33homes,
49:33livelihoods,
49:34and communities
49:35struggling to recover.
49:37Imagine,
49:3810 feet, no?
49:39Of water.
49:40This is not even Typhoon.
49:42This is ordinary rain, no?
49:44So, one important step
49:45is to put a moratorium
49:47on new upland developments.
49:49We must bring everyone
49:51to the table.
49:53LGU,
49:53national government agencies,
49:55developers,
49:56environmental experts,
49:58engineers,
49:59urban planners,
50:00homeowners association,
50:02and affected communities.
50:04Let's bring them together
50:05in one table
50:07because we need
50:08a science-based decision
50:11and enforcement.
50:14So, one year later,
50:15the floods have gotten worse,
50:17not better,
50:18and I'll have to borrow this term.
50:20But at least,
50:21i-appeal na ko kung kugalingon.
50:23Mahiya naman tayo, no?
50:25So, I'm DJ Moise.
50:26Shout out to Coffee First
50:27for supporting conversations
50:29that matter.
50:30This is Beyond the Headlines.
50:32Let's continue to look deeper
50:33and think better.
50:35Have a good afternoon.
50:41It starts with a fresh shot of espresso.
50:45Bold.
50:46Rich.
50:47Pulled.
50:48Just right.
50:51Then comes the milk.
50:53Steamed smooth.
50:54Creamy.
50:55And balanced.
50:56The perfect latte
50:57is not brushed.
