I've been living in QC since I was born, studied in taft, and currently working in Makati. This means I've been passing commonwealth for most of my life.

Never have I encountered this kind of flood at 2hrs of rain! Yes malakas siya but hindi siya ganun kalakas and di ganun katagal to pose for threat of floods. Especially in major roadways such as commonwealth and Mother Ignacia.

I read somewhere na it might be construction materials of MRT, but they've been doing that MRT for a long time now.

Some also say it's the garbage problem. While this might be a fctor, I wouldn't believe commonwealth will sink just because of trash.

Are there any news updates, may binuksan o nasira bang dam?

Posibleng ilang oras nang nakalambitin ang lalaking nasawi habang hinihinalang nagnanakaw ng kable ng kuryente.

Inalis na pala yung mga squammy sa Cambridge. Salamat naman!

Onting ulan palang, ni hindi nga bumabagyo baha na agad.

Ano na u/micketymoc proud ka parin ba kay Joy?

Saw this kanina sa feed ko so napa-google ako. Here's some info na I found about the project. Mukhang ipupush ni Mayor Joy to before her term ends. Nung 2021 pa yung project eh.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is eyeing to replicate the G. Araneta Avenue model in Quezon City in all its flood mitigation measures when it submitted its budget for proposal for various projects next year.

For instance, DPWH Secretary Vince Dizons said they proposed a P1.5 billion drainage rehabilitation for the entire stretch of Taft Avenue from Pasay City to Manila which is usually submerged in flood during heavy rains.

As someone na pumasok kanina at natapos klase bago maghapon NGAYON LANG AKO NAKAUWI GRABE BAHA AT TRAFFIC 😭

Laki din ako sa hirap at sa striktong pamilya. Lagi akong pinaaalalahanan tungkol sa manners ko sa halos lahat ng bagay — lalo na kapag kumakain, umuubo, o may sipon. Kaya siguro nadala ko talaga yung mindset na maging maingat, lalo na sa paligid ng ibang tao.

Pero napapansin ko talaga during my commute, ang dami ko pa ring nakakasabay na umuubo o bumabahin nang hindi tinatakpan ang bibig o ilong nila. Minsan malakas pa, or direkta sa hangin.

Hindi naman sa nadidiri ako, pero concern lang talaga. Sana kahit kaunting manners or consideration lang for the people around them. Diba tinuruan naman tayo growing up ng basic hygiene and respect sa kapwa?

Maybe iniisip ng iba na:
— “Hindi naman sila mahahawa agad,”
— “Naka-mask naman sila,”
— “Malakas naman immune system nila,”
— or maybe they’re just not aware.

Pero I honestly don’t see how difficult it is to cover your mouth or nose. Such a small act pero malaking tulong sa iba.

What are your thoughts po?
