This I might say is the worst flood that happened in my 28 years of staying in our barangay. Yes, we frequently suffer from floods during the monsoon season like anywhere in the low lying parts of the community but the flooding is only knee to waist high. And it usually takes place on the road not in our place, our home. But this flooding is far different from anything we have experienced. It ravaged in every house and properties that crossed its path. Not only in our community but through out our town in Calumpit and many parts of Bulacan. Our town is declared under State of Calamity because of this tragedy.
The main cause of this tragedy is Typhoon Pedring whose rains caused the major dams in the northern part of the country to mandatory spill out the water in their reservoir. The problem is they let the water out almost the same time. Adding up volume of water to the already flooded areas.
Here are some photos i have taken during the flood:
