Ogie Alcasid, may mabigat na mensahe sa mga Pilipino matapos humupa ang baha

• Ogie Alcasid called on Filipinos to reflect on the recurring flooding in the country
• He said the issue should not end simply because the floodwaters have subsided
• The singer-songwriter questioned whether Filipinos should continue accepting the situation
• Alcasid stressed that repeated flooding should no longer be considered normal

Singer-songwriter and “It’s Showtime” host Ogie Alcasid called on Filipinos to reflect on the country’s recurring flooding, stressing that the problem should not simply be forgotten once the waters recede.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, September 1, Alcasid acknowledged that the rain had stopped and the floodwaters had subsided. However, he emphasized that the situation should prompt a larger discussion about why communities continue to experience flooding.

“Humupa ang baha. Tumigil na ang ulan.”

Rather than treating the end of the rainfall as the conclusion of the issue, Alcasid urged the public to look beyond the immediate aftermath and consider whether repeated flooding should continue to be accepted as part of everyday life.

“Dapat siguro tanungin natin ang ating mga sarili kung papayag pa ba tayo na laging ganito?”

His message centered on the need for people to question the recurring circumstances that leave communities dealing with flooding whenever heavy rains strike. For Alcasid, the fact that the waters eventually recede does not erase the disruption and difficulties experienced by those affected.

The singer-songwriter then delivered a stronger appeal, making it clear that Filipinos should not become accustomed to repeatedly facing the same situation.

“Hindi maaari kabayan! Hindi na maaari!”

Alcasid’s remarks come as flooding remains a recurring concern in many parts of the country, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall. His post encouraged Filipinos to view each flooding incident not only as a temporary disaster but also as a reason to examine the continuing problem.

By raising the issue after the immediate danger had passed, Alcasid highlighted the importance of keeping public attention on flooding even after the rain has stopped.
