Manila is drowning again

When Maring typhoon hit Manila it drowned againt he capital city of the Philippines. It caused havoc and flooded all areas of Manila were in thousands of residents suffered. It rained hard and water from river banks immediately overflowed.

Residents from nearby canals and living near bridges were easily flushed away. Some of them manage to survive because some of them evacuated when the water was still rising. People lost their homes and shelter while others stood their ground trying to hope that the rain would stop.

The floods covered a large scale of Manila that if you look at it from an aerial view you are witnessing a drowning city. Homeless people are shivering from cold and suffering from hunger. As some of them are seeking temporary shelter were water would soon claim where they are standing.

 It was last 2009 when ONDOY caused a very destructive flood. It was one of the worse and most disturbing scene that happened.  click here to view the ONDOY tragedy.


And now it happened again after 4 years were in the city of Manila is back on that same scenario.

People lost their houses. Some of their cars and vehicles parked along the street are now submerged and filled with dirty flood. Some of them are even covered with mud and have garbage's inside.

A lot of classes and work are suspended. And volunteers and rescuers try to help others by giving them food and helping them evacuate their current location that are being harassed by flood.

I hope the government of the Philippines would do something about this. Since calamity like this would soon be experienced if their are no actions that are seriously implemented to solve it.
