    Hello mga sirs. Sana pwede itong thread na ito. Would be a great help ang magiging mga reply nyo po. Pasig po ako nakatira. Flooded kami during Ondoy. It was the first time. We decided na mag relocate syempre sa hindi na binabahang lugar, sa metro manila pa rin. Ang problema hindi mo na masabi kung alin sa mga areas ang binaha noon. Pag nagtitingin kami ng lote sasabihin flood-free tapos pag nag interview kami sa mga kapitbahay, binaha daw. So makakatulong po kung first hand ko malalaman sa inyo kung binaha nga kayo o hindi i.e. noong ondoy o kahit anong bagyo. Need ko lang po kahit area (or name ng subdivision) at kung binaha o hindi.many thanks

    It also depends on what your budget is, what you prefer and what area it should be close to (i.e. subdivision, open area, etc.). Take note also that flooding in some areas due to Ondoy was due to extraordinary circumstances.

    Paranaque was also mostly spared from Ondoy from what i know. In San Juan, areas near the river were hit.

    When considering an area/property, just googlemaps it to see the terrain and any nearby creeks/rivers; when you visit it, take note of the terrain and where the water will flow to. Pag natyempo that there's strong rain and you're in the vicinity, go to the area so you can also observe water buildup (i've done this before and it was quite helpful).

    check this one. it's on the news last night.

    MMDA identifies 24 flood-prone areas - report - News | TopGear.com.ph

    read also the comments below. May mga areas kasi na wala sa list pero flood-prone pa rin kahit 15-mins lang na ulan.

    May mga units ako na binebenta sa places na hindi binaha ... Kahit tanong mo pa kapitbahay.

    But then again, the place you'll be settling in will still depend on your budget. Hindi ka makakahanap ng magandang bahay for a very very cheap price. Alam mo naman ngayon, medyo mahal ang mga units. 5M+ ang used/brand-new na decent townhouse along QC.

    sa san juan meron doon binebenta sa gilid or likod ng dominican school.

    you can try to go there i will assure you na hindi binabaha ito kasi lapit lang bahay namin dito eh.

    forgot the name of the street kasi eh pero basta malapit sya sa domincan.


    ............................... aquinas school

    + 1 I don't think any area or village in metro manila was completely spared from Ondoy. In Magallanes for example there is a stark contrast between adjacent streets, one being submerged in chest deep water, the other completely spared. So it is very important to know the place's history and factors advised by Vinj.

    flood prone yan si timog corner scout tobias. Bakit kasi jan pinipili lumaban. Eh ang dami secondary road jan magsasawa ka. TAmad umikot gusto mabilisan eh risky naman. Parang utak motorcycle din apurado.

    Ako atras na ako sa ganyan, ikut ako sa ibang scout.

    the scouts area is infamous for flash-flooding.
    but unless there is someone standing on the road, estimating the depth of the flood can be tricky, especially to strangers in the area.
    better to simply avoid the neighborhood altogether.

    i remember that video of several years past.
    hitler fuming over the motorist's act... "...taga-UP ka pa naman..."
    heh heh.

    Morato, timog, abs, and to some extent tropical hut. They are the notorious on scout area as they act as a catch basin.
    The rest are high enough.
    I say tama si kags. Ang daming pwedeng lusutan sa scout area if you are just "informed". Hehehehe

    hindi na ako lumabas ngayon. Pero for sure jan sa aurora blvd eh may mga kotse, tricycle, motorcycles nag-anticipate na sa baha. Malalim yung part jan ng san juan so parada sa gilid ni aurora blvd.

    Baka si puregold erod nag-allow overnight parking.

    pag may baha,
    may pushers.
    "push your car across the flood, sir?"
