Hi All, It is a long time since I last posted. Sorry! Can anyone help me with any news as to the flooding presently affecting, certainly, the Rosario area of Pasig City, Manila. My wife and family had to go to an evacuation centre during the night and I understand that the flood waters are still rising now. However there is no news on TV or online. Any news you can give would be much appreciated.
Best Wishes,
John
Do a search for the BBC Asia reports. I was just watching them durning my lunch break.
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
Hello if they are at the evacuation centers then they are fine and safe.....was watching the news an hour ago and 90% of Manila is flooded and it's rains nonstop....all you can do is call them...
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart
I feel sorry for the many relations I have in Manila and nearby...very worrying.
I've been watching some of the reports here http://www.filipino-tv.info/2012/08/...-august-7.html, but facebook has gone quiet and nobody is answering the telephone.
Sometimes it's not much fun in the Philippines, but a very tough place to be.
They said that because of the rain and bad weather a lot of the networks are down, so maybe thats why GrahamOriginally Posted by grahamw48

You're welcome.
It looks terrible there.
I hope your family are safe too.
Yep, plus stop deforestation and stabilise slopes properly.
They need to take a lesson from Hong Kong.
Having said that, they are a very poor country and even here in the UK we have had some bad flooding because of similar extreme weather conditions.
Mrs Lastlid said that one of the problems in Manila is the blocking of drains with rubbish....
don't worry the rain has stop for this moment, some of the flood is already subside. If you want to watch the latest news online you can look at this site: www.pinoy-ako.info.
For those who's looking some updates in facebook some filipino's can't go online because of brown out (no electric power) in some ares.
