MANILA, Philippines — It is high time for the national government to address the potential problems that would be caused by the El Niño phenomenon and other climate concerns in the country through an infrastructure drive, a lawmaker said. According to Surigao del Sur 1st District Rep. Romeo Momo Sr., President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration should prioritize building critical infrastructure that would mitigate the impact of weather phenomena and provide solutions to its possible effects. Momo, chair of the House of Representatives Committee on public works and Highways, noted, however, that the infrastructure should be constructed with 'comprehensive engineering solutions' in mind so that it would last for generations.
