    That's the problem with our country, walang planning, or kung meron man hindi nasusunod

    Nagtataka rin pala ako, yung isang house namin sa Makati, malapit din naman sa river (Pasig River) pero never naman kami binaha. Bakit yung areas surrounding Marikina River binabaha?
    Here's a good article on Provident Village that came out shortly after Ondoy. They could republish this today and it would be just as relevant.

    If you look at the shape of Provident Village and how Marikina River basically circumscribes it you'll immediately realize that there's no way it wouldn't be a flood hazard zone.

    Good read. It's criminal how the developer sold residential land practically circled by a river

    mas luzon-wide damagae ni ulysees. hanggang ngayon ayaw pa madrain baha.

    si ondoy kasi mas metro manila centric. Eh may kwarta naman mga tao dito mas madali mag-ayos.

    They built a mega dike along marikina river. It was nevertheless still breached....

    The residents of woodridge had a false sense of security due to the dike....

    well... build a bigger one.
    otherwise, history will keep repeating itself on a regular basis.

    i also heard in a radio interview, that the manggahan can now drain only about half of what its original specifications indicated.

    Problem with dikes is it can't be around the Marikina area only, otherwise water will just flow in from where it ends. They have to circumscribe the entire river from a high point up to where it merges into the sea.

    Pumps too. Just because there's a dike doesn't mean the water won't permeate the soil. There will always be some seepage, so pumping stations need to be constructed everywhere. Sa Netherlands the pumps that service their nationwide dikes are also powered by the many windmills. This can't be a Pasig Marikina thing only but a full on national project, even then it will be hugely expensive.

    Dami din naman improvements after Ondoy, doc. There's a massive 12 meter wall built around Marikina river area that completed just last year.



    As mentioned in my earlier post though mag seep pa din talaga water through the soil and the drains. A dike by itself won't do anything if long-term yung water rise so they still need to build pumping stations.

    Eto yung data on the project finished 2019:
    Flood control project along Marikina River completed | Philippine Information Agency
    And another one being submitted to World Bank:

    Kriminal din yung gov't employee from Mayor's office, DENR, LRA etc, basically anyone who signed off on making a lad that is unalienable for being part of the natural waterway and make it alienable and disposable o the first place. Dami ganyan.

    back when they created provident village,
    wala pang denr, etc.
    only city hall.
    life was easier back then.

    the question now is,
    "what are we gonna do about it?"

    Sa mga taga las pinas, what route do you take pag ganitong maulan? I don't mind konting traffic basta walang baha. EDSA as starting point.

    Kagabi ko lang din naranasan sobrang lakas ng ulan, kotse pa naman dala ko from MoA. We took the usual cavitex, alabang zapote.
    If from EDSA, skyway, naiaX, cavitex.

    back when it was still open to motor vehicle traffic,
    in quagmire ncr traffic generated by heavy weather,
    i would take roxas blvd for my southward route.

    because everyone else was mired in traffic elsewhere, roxas blvd southbound was traffic-free.

    Thanks.

    Big mistake talaga that I did my usual route through naia then c5 ext. I got worried that Zapote would be submerged by the time I got through Cavitex.

    I'll stick to the tollways next time.

    Yeah. When I finally got through all that traffic napakaluwag ng Las Pinas.
