The scheduled Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing on flood control issues spearheaded by Alan Peter Cayetano’s bloc has been postponed indefinitely.
On June 4, 2026, the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee’s hearing on flood control projects, originally planned under the initiative of Alan Peter Cayetano’s bloc, was officially postponed until further notice. The hearing, aimed at reviewing the management and implementation of flood control measures, did not proceed as scheduled. There were no official statements detailing the reasons for the postponement at the time of reporting. The committee had intended to scrutinize various flood control initiatives to ensure transparency and accountability, given the critical importance of such projects to the country’s disaster resilience. This development was reported by GMA News, a major news outlet in the Philippines. No updates on rescheduling have been provided yet. The issue holds significant importance given the ongoing concerns related to flooding in vulnerable areas throughout the Philippines, affecting both residents and overseas Filipino workers who have familial ties to the impacted regions.
