MANILA, Philippines -- A Cabinet official on Tuesday said Laguna Lake is just two to three feet below the levels reached during tropical storm "Ondoy" in 2009.

Public Works and Highways Secretary Rogelio Singson said the lake rose by 10.4 feet during the heavy downpour brought by Ondoy three years ago.

This morning, the lake has risen by seven to eight feet or just two to three feet below Ondoy level.

"Talagang mataas na ang tubig and the only outlet is Pasig. We need to monitor Laguna," he told President Aquino during a briefing at the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council office.

He also warned that flood-prone areas near the lake could be affected including Taguig, Angono, Baras and Morong in Rizal; Mabitac, Lumban, Santa Cruz, Victoria and some portions of Cabuyao and San Pedro in Laguna.

He said flooding in Laguna could last as long as two months.

One hazard brought by the floods, he said, is the prolonged evacuation of students whose schools are affected by the deluge.

<---- Hala you can no longer blame this disaster kay Pandak. You were given time to continue said flood control project at Laguna de Bay but instead cancel it

As early as now, the various government agencies should asses whether the class / work suspension will carry over to tomorrow

[starczamora]

Kaya pala ng gov't na mag-suspend ng work sa private offices...

Just a question though...does this cover BPOs, call centers and factory-based work?

Technically BPOs are covered, but the BPO industry group announced that employees still have to work. Those who are at risk areas, however, are not compelled to go to work.

This is bullcr*p...The DOLE should flex it muscle and declare that the work suspension covers ALL private companies...no exceptions

During Ondoy a typhoon not just a habagat, PGMA was blamed by many people

Beyond Ondoy and climate change, blame goes to Arroyo and Teodoro

incompetent govt response to ondoy aftermath - arroyo & teodoro should resign

government response during and after ondoy was inefficient and incompetent. we had nothing but news with people and families stranded, trapped, flooded, hungry and dead with anywhere from little to no help from the government, often too late and too little.

arroyo and teodoro should resign.

the problem is that the said dredging project is no actually a solution pagkukunan lang ng pera ng mga nakaupo dati at mga alipores nito..I mean ket ka maghuhukay tapos yung hinukay mo itatambak mo rin lang sa tabi???? Thats just plain waste of money..and besides di ba dapat sisihin dito yung mga nag aprub ng mga residential subdivisions projects na dinadaanan ng mga tubig na yan ngayon??? so where are they??? oh yeah they created the problem and they will blame it on national govt....sheeessshhh...palafox warned them before but did they listen?? Oh yeah yung clinks and ching ng pera ang narining nila nun ngayon andyan na ang problema tara sisihin si pnoy...I mean sino ba ang nakaupo sa mga position diyan for the longest time and what have they been doing about it????


Yung dredging projects na yan sa laguna de bay parang yung madaliang pagkuha ng mga rubber boats yan nung nagkaroon ng ondoy pero mali naman ang makina? malaki ang makina kesa sa rubbber boats so sino ang nagsamantala nun dahil kay ondoy??? ano na ang nangyari sa daan daang rubber boats na pinamili ng panahon ni arroyo dahil kuno for disaster etc napakinabangan ba natin ngayon???? hindi mapakinabangan kasi pag ginamit mo ang rubber boats magsasagwan ka dahil yung makina kakainin lang ang mga rubber boats sa sobrang laki....

'Unprecedented' heavy rain to continue until Thursday

I don't know why put every blame to PNoy. First, we already a provision to respond to disaster, i.e. R.A. 10121. This established NDRRMC and required every LGU to mainstream LDRRMC in every city. The government also has their arm to prepare, respond, fund, and rehabilitate such natural hazards. PNoy was the one who enforced this, he initiated Project NOAH, he signed the formulated IRR for Climate Change Action Plan. Come disaster time, action plan has already been established, national agencies have the physical, institutional, and financial mandate to provide their role to the disaster response.

So what's the fuss looking for PNoy? Ano? Pipicture sya sa gitna ng emergency? Hindi ba mas nakakainis pag ngayon sya magpapabibo eh emergency na nga. Dapat na makita nating kumikilos ngayon ay ang NDRRMC, NEDA, DOST, PAGASA, DSWD, dahil mas alam nila ang focus nila para sa bawat phase ng disaster.

For me, hindi nya kailangang magpakita or kung ano-ano, issue ng Presidential statement siguro pwede pa. Tapos na ang role nya sa planning for preparing for disaster. Additional strategies for rehabilitation na ang gagawin nya dapat which is hindi dapat kailangang nasa TV or ibalita pa, unless completely tapos na.

Agree.

Walang katapusan pointing finger sa old administration. Are we keep doing this till 2016?

That was sent through text. Judging from this FB post, they got a lot of flak from their employees:
