    I strongly disagree that planting trees to be harvested by our corrupt people of iloilo is the answer to these tragic floodings in iloilo. Weve been telling everybody to plant trees since when?… who knows? Way before I was born. I support these multi-billion peso investment. I suggest that everytime we expect to have a typhoon, no matter how bad its gonna be, we must reduce the level of water stored in those dams which overflowed and caused unexpected flash flood and killed hundreds. Is that one of the reasons why?
    I was wondering why these new peoples army NPA and there supporters still targeting our military instead of these illegal loggers? All out war to Illegal loggers, NPA… do your job.. prove to the people that you are fighting for a reason. help your people. and stop wasting the military’s budget.
