I almost lost my jimny sunday night when I traversed the yakal road in makati on my way to slex. I saw a monty and a cooper turned around but my curiosity got the better of me and put my gear on 4x4 and slowly moved forward. I thought the water level was at the middle of the wheel until I turned left towards buendia when I saw a guy (not sure how tall) wading the flood up to his waist area. I thought of backing up but afraid of losing the engine I continued to roll forward until I thought I could see the water splashing on the hood and almost at the middle of the driver's door. I was the only car at that area and I realized the creek at the side of the railroad was overflowing. I prayed hard and never let go of the accelerator until I managed to turn right towards osmena hiway. My ECL lit up and the engine was making strange noise. I parked for awhile and after 15 minutes everything was normal. That was so scary but I thank my guardian angel and my reliable jimny.

Maring to linger in PHL until Thursday; rains to continue, worsening floods
August 19, 2013 5:50am

After enhancing the southwest monsoon that has dumped rain over a wide swath of Luzon in the past several days, Tropical Storm Maring (Trami) is moving erratically and may linger inside the Philippine area of responsibility until Thursday.

Large parts of Metro Manila are already flooded, with classes suspended in most areas.

PAGASA forecaster Manny Mendoza said Maring is interacting with another weather system outside the Philippine area of responsibility and has repeatedly changed direction.

"Medyo mabagal ito, pabago-bago ang direksyon ng bagyong ito. Dati southeast, tapos east, ngayon north-northeast (Maring is moving very slowly, and keeps changing direction. It was moving southeast, then east, then north-northeast)," Mendoza said in an interview on dzBB radio.

When asked when Maring will exit the Philippine area of responsibility, Mendoza said their models show it may do so on August 22, Thursday.

However, he said there is also a chance Maring may exit the PAR on Friday.

Mendoza said their models show Maring appears headed for the southern islands of Japan but may change direction until it heads for Taiwan.


Tropical Storm Maring seemed to make a U-turn over the Pacific Ocean section northeast of the Philippines and east of Taiwan.


Flash floods, landslides

PAGASA said that as of 4 a.m., Maring was estimated at 550 km east of Itbayat, Batanes, with maximum winds of 75 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 90 kph.

It is forecast to move northeast at 7 kph.

Also, PAGASA said the southwest monsoon is affecting much of the country.

"Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, CALABARZON and the provinces of Benguet, Zambales, Bataan, Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Bicol region will experience monsoon rains which may trigger flashfloods and landslides," it said in its 5 a.m. bulletin.

PAGASA said Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula and the rest of Luzon will have "cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms."

The rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds from the southwest will prevail throughout the archipelago and the coastal waters will be moderate to rough, PAGASA said.

Waterworld

Several parts of Metro Manila became a waterworld early Monday morning, following heavy rain since Sunday night.

As of 5 a.m., parts of Manila, Quezon City, Makati City and southern Metro Manila remained flooded, with the Buendia off-ramp from the Skyway closed to traffic.

Skyway authorities, in an advisory posted on its Twitter account at 5:26 a.m., said the Buendia off-ramp was "still closed to traffic." The Skyway is the express elevated highway between Makati and Alabang.

Earlier, it had noted floods near Raya Garden, Ireneville and Water Fun.

In Makati City, several streets were not passable to light vehicles as of 5:40 a.m.

These included parts of Barangay Palanan, where floodwaters were 12 inches high and rendered the streets "not passable to light vehicles".

At Barangay Pio del Pilar, P. Medina, Balderama, M. Reyes, Cojuangco, Dela Rosa, Pasong Tamo, Pasay Road, along Gil Puyat from Batangas to South Superhighway, along Gil Puyat from Medina to Pasong Tamo, Javier M. Antonio and McKinley to J. Victor had floods 24 to 36 inches high and were not passable.

In Valenzuela City, flooded areas included:

- In front of PLV: 2 to 3 inches

- Dalandanan, Good Year: 2 to 3 inches
- Coloong 2 Road: 2 to 3 inches
- MH del Pilar, Tiwala cor. Coloong 2: 4 to 5 inches
- A. Fernando, Marulas: 3 to 4 inches

In Taguig City, flooding was reported along Palar, Pinagsama, Diego Silang, Waterfun, Hagonoy, Bagumbayan Laura Drive, and Western Bicutan Katipunan.

Meanwhile, dzBB radio reported knee-deep floods at the South Luzon Expressway Southwoods exit, allowing only trucks and buses to pass

Palace suspends work in govt offices, classes at all levels in NCR, nearby provinces
August 19, 2013 6:14am

In the wake of flooding caused by heavy rain since Sunday, Malacañang on Monday ordered the suspension of work in government offices not directly involved in disaster response.

Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. also ordered the suspension of classes in Metro Manila and areas affected by heavy rain, radio dzBB's Benjie Liwanag Jr. reported.

Ochoa's suspension order covered work in all government offices in Metro Manila except if those agencies are involved in disaster response, the report said.

"Upon the recommendation of PAGASA, the Executive Secretary has ordered the suspension of classes in ALL levels over Pangasinan, Benguet, Bataan, Zambales, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro and Metro Manila. Likewise, the Executive Secretary has also ordered the suspension of work in the Government Offices in Metro Manila except those involved in disaster risk reduction and management," presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a statement.

PAGASA had recommended on Sunday night that classes in those areas be suspended at the preschool and elementary levels.

Several areas in Metro Manila remained flooded as of Monday morning.

Earlier, the Supreme Court ordered the suspension of work in Metro Manila courts. — ELR, GMA .
