As promised, here are the videos of the flood in Sandoval Avenue that I took while riding the yellow dump truck (for free, yey!). The videos are shaky but YouTube did some "fixing". They are now "tolerable". I had a migraine while watching the raw clips. LOL! At least, I think, you can endure these videos now. Can I say, "enjoy the videos"? I guess not. LOL!

Ordinary People in Extraordinary Times - Portrait of the Southwest Monsoon Floods
Our lives are shaped by the tiny hurdles we overcome in our daily grind. We are unaware but we are actually sharpened, strengthened, and polished. It's the giant hurdle that creeps like a thief in the night that measures our worth!

Video Updates on the Flood in Sandoval Ave. in Pasig City, as of 6 p.m., 10 August 2012
Palmdale Heights Condominium along Sandoval Avenue, Pasig City - ankle-deep flood |
It seems that Pasig City would again be the last city to recover from these floods. (The last time was in 2009 with typhoon Ketsana / Ondoy. The city took a whole month before the floods were completely pumped out and gone.) While some areas in Manila that had more than 15-feet of flood water (such as the Lagusnilad tunnel and the Quiapo-Recto underpass) are now open to traffic, a lot of communities in Pasig City situated near the floodway and Laguna de Bay are still drenched in flood water.
