From Rappler Weather alert
There was so much flooding in Luzon over the weekend: Saturday and Sunday with floodwaters raging "lagpas tao" The strange thing was there was no typhoon. And the volume of rainfall was just 1/2 of Ondoy. in 2009(but that was for 4 days period 500 mm of rainfall) The rainfall last Saturday was 270 mm, half of the entire rainfall for August (500 mm). Falling in just one day. Much rainfall fell North of Manila, less on the south. There was one wedding at Hagonoy Bulacan. held in a flooded church.
Why again was there so much flooding? The flooding caused the evacuation of more than 20,000 because of the deep floodwater. Several died of drowning
1. Many of the areas have been rain soaked all ready because of previous deluge?
2. Too much silting in some rivers;
3. Garbage disposed off in rivers and waterways clogging the same. Hence the flood. How can we mitigate floods from too much rainfall in the future? Can we or we are just victims of nature

TV news last night were filled of videos of areas being hit by floods: QC Del Monte River Banks, Marikina River banks, Calasiao and Sta Barbara in Pangasinan, San Fernando Pampanga, and areas along Tullahan river (due to La Mesa Dam water nearing critical level - this would flood Valenzuela, Navotas, Malabon, and Caloocan City) Some comments are worth making:
The water level at Marikina river has reached and will breach the critical level
1. While the flooding is from nature, the other part comes from: inadequate flood control (despite billions having spent for them)
2. Those who live near the river banks must be permanently evacuated. They live in river banks and the danger will always be there when the rivers swell (true for Marikina and del Monte and elsewhere)
3. The rivers must be dredged and accretion titles revoked. This post noted that in Pasig and Marikina, the LGU developed the accredtion (the silt that were deposited on the river banks) thus narrowing the rivers and lessening the carrying capacity of the Pasig River
Man.s greed is to be blamed for this flooding. This is true for flooding in Cainta and Marikina and Pasig. We all know the cause and yet we do not act. In Pasig near the Soldiers village, scavengers occupied the area near the creek. We posted that picture several years ago. No one has dared take action on this. You cant see the bridge structure anymore
