PH capital brought to standstill in floods: All work in NCR, 9 provinces suspended

[voldemort]

A couple of years have passed since Ondoy wrecked havoc in Luzon... a bunch of guys blamed GMA and Gibo for that tragedy. Now we have a new administration who had the greatest opportunity to learn about and correct the mistakes of the past. I wonder who will be blamed this time?

I bet they would still blame the previous admin. I could almost hear that bald guy saying "Minana lang po natin ang mga problemang ito."

Why can't Philippines do what Malaysia did? They built a highway underground that functions as a tunnel for cars and can be converted into a drainage when needed. It's called the SMART tunnel and is pretty damned awesome:

Props to the Malaysian government for their smart and forward-thinking.

Heavy rain is not something new in Philippines yet time and time again we are caught off-guard and no matter how severe the last "calamity" nobody addresses the fundamental flaws in water management. Why do we sit around waiting for the next disaster? Corrupt leaders have cheated the nation out of millions, maybe even billions of dollars which could and should have been spent on infrastructure. These people have blood on their hands as do the idiots who keep reelecting them.
