Do narrow creeks and rivers affect your daily lives? Are they relevant to you/

It is more fun criticizing

   This portion of Marikina river near Sandoval bridge has about 20 meters of accretion at this side;  it ripe for being a tumana, or titling.  The river at this portion may be 30 to 40 meters wide only.   No wonder there is plenty of flooding.  The Marikina river used to be 100 meters wide or even more.  It was like a sea before.

Most probably you wont.  Let the narrow rivers and creeks take care of themselves.

But they wont take care of themselves:

Who caused the river to be a creek? Who authorized this?

           The river is now hardly a creek say 5 to 7 meters wide

What is remember is that a textile mill near this waterway used to be known as Riverside Mills.  However, when I took the picture of this "river, it could be hardly called a river nor a creek. The what used to be a 20 meter water way is just a fraction of what of its old self.  A structure occupies more than 50% of its width.  Judging from the bridge length, the waterway used to be river.

Who authorized this structure to be built?

Is nobody watching over creeks and bridges? Are authorities sleeping?

                      Can you still see the creek, and the bridge?

As I biked yesterday, I looked for a creek and I did not find it?  Reason, some urban settlers blocked its view.  The west side was occupied by a junk shop!  How come?  Nobody patrols and watches over our natural resources like rivers and creeks?  Dont we have a government that polices these resources?

                        Where is the creek?  The bridge?

      Who allowed this structure be built over a creek bridge?
