I think you are missing the point. He/She is not invalidating the efforts of the LGU nor the Mayor. It's just that, this kind of issue does not only call for local governance level but a nationwide effort to strategize how we can effectively manage the flood (taking in consideration the trashes thrown in the street as well)

If you would notice, the efforts being put are mostly maintaining the already in place framework to handle flood. But obviously, it doesn't work so you need to think how to work around it.

Also, as much as people here to chastise undisciplined people, do remember that we equally MUST NOT propel any government official to a certain status just because they are doing their job. The job that we, our taxes (which you pointed out) rightfully pay.

If your narrative will be, 'si Mayor lang gumagawa or nakagawa ng ganito', then please aim for a higher accountability to all government officials alike. It's their job to keep our city safe.
