Baha Casualties

[boybi]

the recent heavy rains and floods have taken quite a toll of life in paniqui, tarlac. last night, just before midnight, bumigay yung dike and almost literally wiped out at least 5 barangays. i still have no word yet on the number killed but dead bodies are still being brought by choppers to the nearby Grand Stand, mostly children. the town mayor is in London, but was already contacted and i think on the way back. GMA was said to be going to visit the town today or tomorrow.

god bless their souls.

Very tragic news... sana naman daytime nangyayari yung mga natural disasters na yan.. pag gabi kasi, karamihan tulog and defenseless na ang mga tao.. parang yung earthquake dati sa india, very early morning nangyari kaya nung umaga, libo libo ang patay.

[boybi]

15 barangays na pala ang affected! the vice mayor is alive and i believe is now presiding over the town council.

boybi, malayo ba kayo sa mga ganyan?

[boybi]

30 mins away ako from paniqui, tarlac.

actually, pinasukan din ng tubig yung isang property namin. malapit na kasi mag overflow yung irrigation canal so sinira nila yung sa side namin kaya binaha sa amin. kung hindi kasi nila ginawa yun, kawawa yung sa residential area which is on the other side of the irrigation.

When kimpoy visited UST last week, he was driving a new Toyota Vios.

Today, he texted me. Bubong na lang daw nung Vios ang visible when they recovered it from where it was parked...

[kiper]

Totoo ba yan OTEP?

Sa province din namin baha..lampas beywang. Buti na lang truck ang sasakyan ni Mama at nakauwi pa..hehe

[5Speed]

hmmmm....what a coincedence....kakapanood ko lang nang the day after tomorrow kagabi tapos nabasa ko yung news this morning...

sad.....

[kimpOy]

OTEP, konting correction lang, pati bubong hindi na rin nakita sa vios ng tito ko.

ano kaya remedy dun? covered kaya sa insurance yun?

sayang ang vios na yun wala pang 6 months.
3K KMS pa lang ang itinakbo.

fortunately walang namatay dito sa san fernando, puro nalubugan lang, at mga na stranded, rescue op nga kami yesterday.

boy i am surely glad that im driving an 4x4

Grabe... ser kimpoy, ask your uncle to check the policy. Don't know if floods are under "force majeure" or "acts of God", and whether they are listed as an exclusion from coverage...

Sayang naman!

[mbt]

nakaw benta na kaagad yang vios :whoa:

[RedHorse]

it is sad to know, that in every disaster, pagkakakitaan pa ng pera ng mga walanghiyang gov't officials.

[RedHorse]

An eng'r friend na na-assign in tarlac, relayed to me how his road project was stopped by the mayor.

Noting that they were building the canal on the road side, the mayor was seething, "kalsada lang pinapagawa ko, tsaka na yong canal, ibang project na iyon"

The mayor even ignored the benefit sa road na may canal sa side...

[boybi]

RedHorse, saan sa tarlac yan?

sorry din..there's a similar thread dito re: highlander na inabutan hanggang bubong ng tubig baha..this is very crucial where the fine prints of the insurance comes into play..

covered ba o hindi?

[momoyster]

its truly sad. bahay namin sa tarlac baha sa paligid, di naman inabot yung bahay kac pnatambakan muna yung kinatatayuan nya bago ginawa. pero as i've heard from my dad, may 6 inches pa daw na tubig sa labas (sa kalye). but at least nag-subside na rin due to the improved weather.

[kiper]

kawawa din ung mga nasiraan ng mga pananim.. million of pesos sa damage!

kahit ung mga palay namin na nakatago na..nabasa pa din. sayang.

Hindi usually covered ang flood or riot damage unless you ask it to be included sa policy.

momoyster, saan kayo sa tarlac?
