If Death is like a thief in the night, getting victimized by a flash flood is also sudden and traumatic.
What happened to the cleaning of the storm drains. I was flooded last night June 4, 2005 in quezon City. Edsa was a parking lot, the following roads had patches of flood waters so that persons took more than two hours to get home., Quezon Memorial Circle fronting Quezon City hall, Anona corner Kamias, the road of Little Quiapo, Pajo st in Proj 2. This is a night I regretted I was out on the road, after going to the supermarket. Instead of eating at home , we were stuck on the road with one umbrella. Now every member of the family say they must have their clothes left in the car.
Where do we go for relief? Quezon City govt ? MMDA ? DPWH? Surely our taxes
spent on flood control did not work’ Could it be that the excavation by the water utility all over the metropolis put sand and soil in the storm drains.
What a pain. Several persons drowned, can thay claim damages?
