The project amounts to 39.3 million US$ with 26.2M (around 1.4B Philippine Pesos) as GCF grant and co-financing from the country of 12.9M. But it still took several years before this proposal was approved. The delay: despite the obvious urgency, has been a source of constant criticism by the country; together with other developing countries, on the effectiveness of the GCF as a whole.

![]() Typhoons, weak or strong will bring disaster due to massive flooding caused by poor government climate actions amidst environmental destruction. It seems the effects of typhoon Vicky is far more widespread across the country and not just the more badly hit areas of Davao and Caraga in Mindanao. More than the impacts of strong winds and storm surges, typhoon Vicky is now affecting us more severely with massive flooding. In many parts of the country now, so many are experiencing floods; many drowning entire communities. Worse hit are thousands of stranded commuters, submerged houses, forcefully evacuated residents in many parts of Eastern Mindanao. But flooding is now being reported as well in growing parts of Visayas and eastern side of Luzon. |
