00:00In terms of controlling the flow of water, which was sufficient for many, many years.

00:05It turns out now it's no longer sufficient.

00:08We have to come up with new strategies.

00:10And that's what we discussed today.

00:12Once again, I explained this message to the local government,

00:17and the other members of those who were in the meeting about what our strategies can be

00:25in making sure that the water does not come into the low-lying areas anymore

00:30by building and founding projects upstream.

00:34So, as a response, our response was good.

00:40I'm just reminding you because, like what happened in the marina,

00:46all our supplies were depleted.

00:49All our goods were given to us as a relief for this month.

00:55There will come a time when the situation will get worse.

01:00That's why we need to look at what we're doing well

01:03and make sure that we have sufficient supplies for everyone.

01:09Even if that really happens,

01:13that there will come a time when the situation will get worse,

01:16of course, we will have enough supplies to help those who are in need.

01:27So that's the state of play at the moment.

01:33We'll just keep responding.

01:37But at the same time, we are not only sending relief goods.

01:42We are very, very busy planning the large-scale, long-term plan.

01:51Although we already have it, we still have to do what it is.

01:56It's an old plan, and it was relevant for maybe five, six, even more, maybe ten years ago.

02:06The weather is getting worse, so we have to revise it to make sure that it is addressing the challenges.

02:11The new weather is springing, and it's become very difficult for Pagasa,

02:17for our scientists to forecast this very changeable weather that has not been seen before in human history.

02:31It's that big a change.
