Marcos wants merchant marines proactive in supporting PH maritime efforts
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. tasked Friday the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA) to take proactive steps in supporting the country's maritime efforts amid tensions in the West Philippine Sea. Marcos made the directive as he visited the Training Center and equipment facilities of the PMMA in San Narciso, Zambales. The President said this as he aims to strengthen national security and further elevate education and technology in the maritime sector. During his visit, Marcos inspected the P40-million Full Mission Ship Handling Simulator. He also witnessed a live reenactment of the BRP Suluan (MRRV-4406) incident last Monday, which resulted in the collision of two Chinese vessels near Bajo de Masinloc. The President also inspected the PMMA's latest equipment and technology, together with PMMA Superintendent Commodore Joel Abutal. The PMMA recently partnered with various agencies and companies like Kpler Singapore, providing AIS and RADAR marine traffic solutions, which enable real-time vessel tracking in strategic waters. Further, Quanby Solutions also supplied military-grade aerial drones and delivered specialized training to enhance surveillance capabilities. The PMMA is also collaborating with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) on a feasibility study for the innovative "bangka drone" project to secure future funding and deployment. Marcos has made a commitment that Philippine assets would never back out, after a Chinese vessel fired a water cannon at a Philippine ship in the West Philippine Sea (WPS). The Department of Foreign Affairs earlier expressed serious concern over "dangerous" maneuvers by China against Philippine ships in the region last Monday. To recall, the flagpole of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) ship BRP Suluan was bent after getting hit by a warship of the PLAN during the incident. The PCG vessel sustained the damage when PLAN 164 had a collision with China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel 3104 as the two Chinese ships chased the Philippine vessel. — VDV, GMA Integrated News

Marcos to St. Timothy: Explain failed flood control project in Bulacan
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. is seeking explanation from St. Timothy Construction Corporation as regards to its supposed failed flood control project in Calumpit, Bulacan. This, as Marcos conducted a site inspection of the Rehabilitation of the River Protection Structure following his revelation last that Bulacan province has the most flood control projects, with 668 projects. ''St. Timothy ang kontratista dito kaya titingnan natin, kailangan pasagutin natin kung bakit ganito ginawa nila... mas mabuti pa dapat pumunta sila rito, makita nila gaano kahirap ang buhay na binigay nila sa mga kababayan natin,'' a furious Marcos said. (This is St. Timothy, St. Timothy is the contractor so we will look into it. They need to answer why this happened... They should go here to see how this affects the lives of our kababayans.) ''Pambihira (Unbelievable), this has been going on for years...'' he added. ''Kailangan nila sagutin bakit ganito... anong, what possible excuse do they have for not doing this... hindi ko maisip,'' Marcos added. (They should explain this, what possible excuse do they have for not doing this... I can't think of any.) GMA News Online asked St. Timothy for comment on the President's remarks but it has yet to reply as of posting time. Marcos, meanwhile, said he has learned that no dredging or desiltation has happened in the area as part of the flood control project. On Monday, the President disclosed that 20% of the total P545 billion budget of flood control projects was awarded to only 15 contractors, including St. Timothy Construction Corporation. —VAL, GMA Integrated News

DILG: Over 57K informal settler families relocated under Manila Bay rehab
Waves from Manila Bay batter houses along the breakwater in Naic, Cavite on Sunday, July 25, 2021, as the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) brings rains to most parts of the country. DANNY PATA A total of 57,134 informal settler families in flood prone areas have been relocated under the Manila Bay rehabilitation program, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said Friday. "The DILG reaffirmed its commitment to flood risk reduction, highlighting the resettlement of 57,134 informal settler families (ISFs) from high-risk zones under the Manila Bay Clean-up, Rehabilitation, and Preservation Program (MBCRPP)," the agency said in a statement. "These ISFs, previously living along waterways and easement areas vulnerable to typhoons and monsoons, were relocated to government-owned housing units to improve their safety and resilience," it added. Based on DILG data, 23.93% of the 238,747 identified ISFs have been relocated so far, with Metro Manila having the highest rate of relocation at 36.56%, followed by Calabarzon at 21.06%. A total of 61 concerned local government units (LGUs) have completed socialized housing projects for the affected families. However, 90 socialized housing projects are still in the proposal stage while 52 under construction. The DILG urged LGUs within the Manila Bay Watershed area to fast-track resettlement programs and ensure the sustainability and people-centered focus of Manila Bay's rehabilitation as President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. calls for long-term flood solutions. Marcos reported Monday that 20% of the total P545 billion budget of flood control projects was awarded to only 15 contractors. He called the situation "disturbing." During his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) last July 28, The President issued a stern warning on government personnel who steal public funds, such as those for flood control projects. "Mahiya naman kayo (Shame on you)," the President said. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
