Recent reports indicate that many Filipinos believe that flooding has intensified in recent years. This sentiment has been echoed by government admissions regarding the misappropriation of significant funds from a program designed to combat flooding.
The acknowledgment of embezzlement raises concerns about the effectiveness of existing measures to address the increasing severity of flood-related issues in the country.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to both the public's concerns and the financial discrepancies within the flood management program.
