Episode 78: The Rise (and Fall) of Slater Young — Is Progress Worth the Flood?
Description
Cebu floods again — and Slater Young’s Monterazzas project is at the center of the online buzz. But is the issue really about one developer, or is there something much deeper?
In this episode, we talk about:
• How hillside developments can contribute to flooding
• Why the Monterazzas project has long been controversial
• Slater’s silence on social media
• Government oversight and relaxed enforcement
• The real culprit: deforestation
• How Sierra Madre saved Luzon from past typhoons
• Why “progress” doesn’t mean anything if nature is paying the price
Hindi ito bashing. Hindi ito cancelling.
This is about awareness and accountability — and about finally having a real conversation on sustainable development in the Philippines.
