actually, nothing to be worried about. as i've said above, reclaimed land tend to sink in a couple of inches every year because of the reason enumerated by nico (magkaidad ba tayo? hehehe).

but the gradual sink in can be remedied.

totoo daw yan. ung cousin ng gf ko magtratrabaho dapat sa isang fast food diyan. naglilipat na sila nung gamit sa store tapos nung isang araw pagpasok nila may mga sira ng lugar. nag liquifaction ung isang part. kung siguro daw nandon sila nung nangyari un malamang patay sila.

soil liquifaction, same thing that happened in the city of dagupan during the 1991 earthquake. nagkaron ng instant basement lahat building man o bahay.

the old naia runway 6-24 was also sinking before (built on salt making beds or "asinan") until they decided to build a thicker runway. dapat expected na nila yan kasi alam naman nila na even the whole city of manila, pasay, paranaque, kalookan, malabon ang navotas are all built up from deposits from the many rivers that empty into manila bay. malalim ang bed rock (or kapal ng deposits), the soil deposit is not compacted and the water table is shallow (manila is 2 feet below sea level, duh!).

the only cities in MM that don't have this problem are those that lie on top of adobe rock ("guadalupe chyst", named after that outcrop of rock near edsa-guadalupe). these are makati, quezon city, san juan and mandaluyong.

if true na lumulubog ... edi pumalpak yung soil analysis nila

any major construction must perform soil analysis to determine its characteristics ... some soils can be too soft that it might be uneconomical to build on it ... this is one problem delaying the construction of LRT for Cebu
