Lacson: Public Anger over Flood Control Issue Won’t Go Away Without Retribution, Restitution

Unless Filipinos see genuine retribution and restitution, their anger over the flood control issue will not go away anytime soon, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Monday.

Lacson said the latest flooding in several parts of the country over the weekend, following heavy rains, has once again fueled public anger over the issue.

After a heavy downpour leaves flooded streets and yards, people will not be short on words in cursing politicians, Department of Public Works and Highways officials and contractors – unless, and this is probably – genuine retribution and restitution become the order of the day no matter who were involved,” he said in a post on X.
