ondoy day 3

by this time, our food and water supply were almost empty. and since it was no longer flooded on most of the areas, we drove around. hee.. no pictures, i forgot to bring the cam and i was holding aquim.


some areas were still flooded. garbage was everywhere. we saw the markings of how high the flood was to some, about 5 feet, i guess. saw the oil spills, don't know where it came from, but it was all over the road, the bridge, the walls. saw the stranded cars, even saw a truckload of pigs in the middle of the highway, stucked since day 1. broken glass walls of banks and other buildings.

at the groceries, people are panic buying for the basic supplies. water, noodles, candles, and other easy to prepare, no need to cook foods.

here's the basketball court in front of our house. imagine that mud inside your house.

neighbor who has rice-selling business got his 150 sacks of rice wet. there goes his money. his face really looked miserable.

our old trusty wooden sofa (?). ang galing talaga, didn't swell even if it was submerged in water. those were more than 30 years old.

by mid noon, there were relief goods being distributed by dswd. jason and i went in line. we were particulary eyeing the water they they will give. 2 truckloads full of goods parked infront of our baranggay hall. 5 minutes the line was already that long.

apparently, those 2 truckloads of goods were not meant to be solely distributed to our subdivision. only one third of the contents of truck #1. we were not able to get anything. boo hoo!

still no power supply and unstable cellphone signal.
