Flood In Marikina City Philippines

Im from Markina myself, and have lost a lot in this typhoon.Instead of pointing fingers at who is to blame for this flooding,(which is un avoidable)why not lets just join hands in helping each other out........

My guess is, since it's a flash flood, that the dam was opened abruptly.  If they opened it sooner it the raise of flood should have been slower, people could have reacted and fatality avoided. Another side is that, almost all ponds/pool that before helped in carrying water from flood are now subdivisions.Condelence to those who have lost ... I just hope this doesn't happen again....

opening the dam maybe it`s becuase everybody will suffer electricity shut off..the dam ure use to be for power supply so once it is overflow need to open it thats why floods more blown into the places where nearby.sad really but this are happens only God is thre knew everything why this were happened.Anyway it was really written in the bible that this world will suffer all if these.Only God is the Answer..

kaya pala kulay tsokolate ang nilangoy namin from Buendia to Malate binuksan pala ang dam ng walang anunsyo sa mamamayan. anyways nanagyari na kaya wag natyong magsisihan. ang masasabi ko lang ay di na tayo natuto. hayyyys!

Parating na ang mga nalikom namin na mga relief goods dyan.We are still collating. There's more to come

ako'y nandito sa u.k, pero ang pamilya ko ay nandiyan sa marikina, sa montalban ( safe sila sa EASTWOOD ) at sa Talayan, nasalanta rin sila, walang natira sa kanila, pero pasalamat pa rin, THANKS GOD AT buhay silang lahat, pero sa 2 days na di ko sila makontak ay para na akong mababaliw lalo't nakikita ko sa news ang nangyayari diyan, PASALAMAT pa rin tayo sa lahat na nakaligtas, ke LORD, sorry sa nawalan ng mahal nila sa buhay. Ang mga materyal na bagay na nawala ay maipupundar, kaya tayong/kayong mga naligtas ay dapat na magsaya at i-celebrate ang panibagong buhay.

im from marikina myself. i believe that the government shouldve invested their money alot better. so instead of buying giant shoes for displays and building giant statues of the mayor they should've invested the money in preparing for floods and having better sewer systems.

The earth is now destroid  because of our own fault.. Please people.. im begging you all to stop throwing your your garbage anyware throw it in a proper place. and STOP illegal logging........,,,.,.,...........      Let us help save the earth

I'm from Marikina, too. Born and raised. And I have lost almost everything. However, I don't blame the local government. Marikina has one of -- if not the best -- drainage system in the metro. But fact is, we live in a valley. The river was swollen. Water was still falling from the heavens. Water was rushing down from neighboring cities and mountains. There was too much water, and it had no place to go. It is what it is. Let's not point fingers at "big shoes" or "big statues." I believe Marikenos are better than that.
