Makati Mayor and senatorial candidate Abby Binay has called for a review of the National Land Use Plan following the impacts of Typhoon “Kristine.” In a statement, Binay emphasized the need for immediate and long-term measures to address climate change, citing the high death toll in landslide-prone and flood-risk areas. She urged stricter enforcement of land use regulations, partnerships with national and local government, and collaborations with private and international sectors to secure funding and technology to mitigate climate-related risks.
