Shock and anger over despicable and horrendous revelations on the flood control mess best describe the negative side of the year 2025.
Its deep impact on the lives of the people—particularly those most affected by the catastrophe—almost overshadowed the various positive achievements gained in business, technology, sports and the arts that bestowed honor and pride to the country.
We remember the year 2025 with much awe and angst, hoping it would imbue the country’s leaders and people the much-needed values and mindset not to let these things pass again.
