Typhoon Ondoy floods Manila, Philippines

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

27 September 2009

Tropical storm Ondoy flooded the Philippines with a month’s worth of rain that fell in just six hours. Typhoon Ondoy caused severe rainfall that resulted in the worst flooding of Manila in more than 42 years.
Ondoy poured approximately 13.4 inches of rain on Manila in just six hours, close to the 15.4-inch average for the whole month of September. Typhoon Ondoy beat the previous record of 13.2 inches recorded during a 24-hour period way back in 1967.
The Philippine government declared a “state of calamity” in Manila and around two dozen provinces that were overwhelmed by the storm. Because almost, if not all major roads were clogged by severe flood and filled with stranded motorists, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had to take the Metro Rail Transit (MRT), an elevated commuter train, to reach the disaster council office.
Nine people have already been declared dead as thousands were left stranded in the streets and a lot more had been forced to evacuate their homes. The Pasig River and the Marikina River, two major bodies of water in the country, had overflowed.
Mayor Mon Ilaga, mayor of Cainta, was left stranded atop a dump truck on a road that was neck-deep in water. He told ABS-CBN, a major news and TV channel by phone that many residents climbed onto roofs because of the flood dealt by typhoon Ondoy. He added:
“The whole town is almost 100 percent underwater.”

Philippines August 5 national holiday for Cory Aquino funeral

The late Cory Aquino will be buried beside her husband at the Manila Memorial Park on August 5 (Manila time).

Malacañang Palace, the White House of the Philippines, has declared August 5 as a special non-working holiday to commemorate the late former Philippine President Corazon “Cory” Aquino, who died at the age of 76 in her battle against colon cancer.

This will give Filipinos time to attend the final ceremonies for Cory Aquino, whose remains will be buried beside her late husband and Filipino hero, Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. at the Manila Memorial Park. A mass will be held at 9 a.m. at the Manila Cathedral before the burial. Her wake is at the gymnasium of the school, La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) in Mandaluyong City, where public viewing is permitted.

In line with the death of Cory Aquino, current Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has cut short her United States trip and will arrive in the Philippines in the early morning of August 5 to be present at Aquino’s funeral service. The president had recently declared a 10-day period of national mourning (Aug. 1 to Aug. 10) over the death of Aquino.
