Severe floods and protest in the Philippines
Many areas in the Philippines were submerged due to heavy rains. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The streets have turned into rivers, and cars are stuck in the flow. People are facing great difficulties going to work and school.

Some diseases are also spreading due to the floods. The population is dissatisfied with the government's inadequate measures in this situation.

Although large funds have been allocated over the years to combat floods, many projects have not been implemented. President Ferdinand Marcos acknowledged the lack of necessary infrastructure during an inspection.

The issue of corruption has moved from social networks to the streets. Some officials have resigned, and contractors are being questioned by Congress and the Senate.

Filipinos are now demanding clear and effective measures. A large protest is planned for September 21.

The people want the funds allocated for flood control to be spent honestly and effectively.
