Kailan naganap ang ‘The Great Flood’ sa Pilipinas?
August 10, 2012 10:48pm

Inihalintulad ng marami sa bagyong “Ondoy" noong 2009 ang baha na idinulot ng hanging Habagat kamakailan na nagpalubog sa malaking bahagi ng Metro Manila at karatig lalawigan. Pero alam niyo ba na noong 1972 ay naganap ang tinawag na “The Great Flood" na nagpalubog din sa maraming lugar sa Luzon.

I vaguely remember when I was kid our house was flooded up to my ankles, that was the only time I can remember flood waters coming into our house. Maybe that was the great flood, I don't know

Nai-kwento sa akin ng tatay ko, nun daw great flood of '72, nag aaral siya ng college, uwian everyday.

Ang sinasakyan nya papuntang school, eh bangka. Sa kalsada dumadaan. Mga 1 month na "waterworld".

Mga around 20km boat ride papuntang Malolos, kung saan ka lang may makikitang transportation papuntang Manila.

Tapos may mga helicopters na pinapaikot yung gobyerno, at nagbabagsak ng food supplies at nutri-bun sa mga bubong ng mga bahay.

Naikwento din sa akin dati iyan. Maaayos pa daw ang nakakarating ng relief goods sa mamamayan hindi pa kinukupit ng mga gov't officials.

nangyari ulit ang Great Flood dahil di natuto ang gobyerno sa mga pagkukulang ng nakaraan..

This was one reason why Ondoy was seen as a "once-in-a-lifetime" event, but after what just happened, what we are now seeing is likely "the new normal."

[kuroihikari]

There was one in 1982 as well. My dad missed the birth of my younger brother because he was doing search and rescue operations in Central Luzon.

[pollywog]

At least, mas mabilis ang relief operations ngayon.

Noong unang panahon, sa Red Cross lang umaasa. Ngayon, sandamakmak na ang foundations at NGO's, not to mention individuals na tumutulong.

Kung may isolated areas man, di na rin natatagalan bago mapuntahan.

I believe this is true. When Ondoy happened, I thought it was just a once-in-a-lifetime disaster. Two years later, it happened again but much worse. This is indeed the new normal. I don't see any realistic solution being done to counter this problem. It will only get worse.

Off topic:

I asked some of my friends who are frequently in Taft Ave. kung ano situation nila nung Habagat. Ang sagot sa akin, 'It wasn't too bad. There was flooding but the highest it ever got to was up to the knees. Not bad.'

Now that I think about it, knee-level flood is still bad. When did flood ever become 'not bad'?

I'm just saying; we are getting too used to the flood and that's not a good sign.

Wala pa ang mga Kastila, bahain na ang mga lugar na iyan. Ganyan ang natural process sa mga lugar na iyon. Ang pagkaiba noon at ngayon ... OVERPOPULATED na ang mga lugar na iyan kaya apektado ang mga mamamayan sa pagbaha. Sino ang may kasalanan: kalikasan o tao? Hindi naman nagbago ang kalikasan pero ang tao rumami.

Conclusion: TAO ang may kasalanan! Walang dagdag, walang bawas!
