Going home last night was difficult.


                                  
                              Flood in front of Manila City hall


Going to class last night was difficult.  It took me more than 1 hour to travel from the Buendia flyover up to the H de la Costa campus and I am supposed to treat the class for coming in late?
Was it right that we had classes last night?

Going home was more difficult.  Up to Raymundo Ave, the travel was OK.  I was warned last night that  Valley Golf Ortigas Avenue extension was flooded..  I made the mistake of turning right at Legazpi st (the LG Collins plant).  The Greenwoods subdivision was being evacuated.  Floodwaters was about l foot in depth.  Before the Rain Forest, there was no more flood.

I heard, others were not so lucky.  Many were stranded especially those going to the all ready flooded areas.

This morning, I saw the devastation from the floods at the TV: Imelda Ave Cainta, Cavite, floodway in Pasig, Baseco compound, San Mateo.   Also in Cavite, Pampanga, Hermosa, Bataan

                La Mesa Dam had to release water contributing further to the flooding


                            
                                   You are right, that is the Ayala underpass for pedestrians
