I still shiver whenever I remember that day I almost drowned in our basement. I was rescued by people who were helping my Mom clear our stuff. I lost everything and only saved my PC.
Typhoon Ondoy happened just 3 months before Sweetie and I got married. We thought about postponing it, but both our parents pushed us to proceed. We did and made it a point not to live in flood-prone areas.
The past two years, my childhood home was surprisingly spared from flooding. Things improved thanks to our barangay who worked on the drainages and declogging waterways. Two weeks ago though, the creek overflowed again and water rushed in to our basement.
It's worrisome and I saw reports that parts of the main road to our place has been flooding too. I also saw a signage announcing pipe laying by Maynilad. I know it's supposed to maybe help, but they could've worked on it during the dry months! Sigh.
Stay dry and be safe everyone!
