Habagat season is here again, and once more Metro Manila is drowning in floods. Beloved PGMN Anchor Orion Perez — AKA the Angry Bowtie — breaks down why this problem has been haunting us for centuries: from the warnings of the Spanish era, to the neglected plans of Burnham and Palafox, to the clogged esteros and floodplains we still ignore today.
Why does Singapore, a country once filled with swamplands, no longer suffer from the same flooding we do? And why has Metro Manila remained hostage to poor systems, disjointed governance, and short-term politics? Orion connects the dots between history, bad policy, and our failure to act on long-term solutions.

Note from the PGMN owner:
The storm isn’t just in the skies — it’s also in government spending. PGMN has uncovered a massive DPWH corruption scandal worth over one billion pesos.
As promised, PGMN Lead Anchor CJ Hirro will take the reins this Thursday night (latest Friday morning) with an explosive hour-long exposé.
