Sadly, the administration of Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III has no viable plan to address the problem of deforestation and eroding watersheds. This failure has long been cited as a condition that would lead to the massive flooding, as seen by the world during Super-Typhoon Haiyan. Most of the victims of such flooding are the fisher communities and peasants who live on riverbanks, at the foot of mountainous areas and cramped shantytowns. Consequently, Aquino also has no competent plan in place to create decent and safe housing for these thousands of residents living along riverbanks and other endangered areas.
