"Evacuate all the people to a safe distance, then drop a radioactive-free warhead (no such thing?) to eradicate Metro Manila from the face of the Earth." Sounds like a plot for a "pitu-pito" (i.e., a poor-quality movie that's rapidly made in 7 days which is quite popular in the Philippines in the 1990's). How about opening all those surrounding dams and submerge the whole of Metro Manila in water? There's another thought. Cheaper and less scarier I might add.
If there's New York, New Mexico, New Jersey, New Hampshire, etc., why not a "New Metro Manila"? (Darn! "New Manila" is already taken.) We shall move Metro Manila, the New Metro Manila, to higher grounds. Hmmm, perhaps somewhere NORTH, in Bulacan, or down, way in the SOUTH in Mindanao. We can study all of PAGASA's empirical data for the last 50 years and discover that land where no typhoon has ever crossed or where no flooding is recorded, ever. Once found, with top-notch "urban planners", we will develop the New Metro Manila from the ground up! Does this sound like a plan to you?
