Anyone knows if LPC is flooded as well? During the whole time I was there, I haven't known it to flood during heavy rains. The average elevation in the area (Alabang-Zapote Road) should be around 30-40ft above sea level or ~12m. But, you never know if a clogged drainage system could cause localized flooding.

the zapote area (near the palengkes) was flooded this afternoon. i'm told traffic was at a standstill. hopefully w/ the rainfall easing up, things may be back to normal pretty soon

the bad thing is that a lot of globe cellphone subscribers in the las pinas area is unreachable at the moment

I know where that area is. I've seen that part flood before. Hopefully the interior (Pamplona-RFC/Philamlife-BF Homes) has better drainage. Historically, it had. But, you never know..... When the water table swells up, bye bye drainage.

What's up?

Humupa na po ba ang baha sa inyong lugar?

The flooding that occured in almost all the cities in Metro Manila and surrounding areas is unprecedented, IMO. No place/city was spared. Most stunning is that places that normally don't get flooded during typhoons got flooded this time around.

I heard that a lot of houses went under and people were left stranded on rooftops for hours waiting for rescue boats. It's really disheartening. As of this writing, it seems that in some places (e.g. Valenzuela) the flood is being complicated by high tide.

Let's just pray everyone is able to prevail through this adversity.
