Ogie Alcasid urges Filipinos to demand change to end flood cycle

Filipino singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid urged the public to demand change to end recurring flood suffering, posting on social media Tuesday as floodwaters began to recede. He questioned whether Filipinos will accept this situation repeating endlessly. Alcasid's post drew hundreds of comments from netizens sharing his sentiment and hoping for better governance, while some argued citizens must also practice environmental responsibility rather than relying solely on the government. Alcasid joined other celebrities speaking out against worsening floods intensified by weeks of southwest monsoon rains, including TV host Lyn Ching, who called for action over extensive flooding in Hagonoy, Bulacan.
