Why does the Philippines continue to suffer from severe flooding despite spending over ₱545 billion on nearly 10,000 flood control projects?
In this episode of Teka Teka, reporter Lilian Tiburcio speaks with Glenn Banaguas — world-renowned science diplomat, UN Sasakawa Awardee for Disaster Risk Reduction, and founder of the Environmental and Climate Change Research Institute.
They unpack the real reasons behind recurring floods: climate change and shifting rainfall patterns; corruption and ghost projects in flood control spending; lack of integrated, science-based master planning; and nature-based solutions vs. outdated infrastructure fixes.
The conversation also explores how Filipinos can demand accountability, adapt to climate hazards, and push for science-driven solutions.
This episode is produced by Hannah Grace and engineered by Anthony Tobias. Jaemark Tordecilla is our editor-at-large.
