Dasmarinas Village, Makati Underwater!

Mom woke me up to take some pictures of the flooded areas in Dasma. Put on my camera "condom" for my Canon SLR and joined her in the service vehicle so we could document the flooded areas (for government purposes). It was part of her duty for disaster coordination for Dasmarinas Village, Makati.

I was soaked wet cause I had to get out of the car to take pictures. I was already wearing a wind breaker and hood, but still, the rain was too strong. Lots of Benzes were meeting their match while many 5 million pesos SUVs finally got their money's worth when they proudly waded through the flood.

We also went through the perimeter wall to check on the creeks outside the village. Somewhere here you'll see the border wall (thanks to Tito Ed Tankiang's home view), where the fort condos, colourful as they are, were completely submerged in flood water.

The Forbes creek was flooded while the Dasma side creek at Morado was not overflowing. Apparently the whole Makati is like this.

Flooded areas in the village include Pasay Road corner Tamarind, Most of Tamarind, Gladiola, Paraiso, Armosolo (waist deep!), Palm avenue and lumbang.

The exit to EDSA via Amorsolo was so flooded that no one could leave the village through that gate and Lumbang as well. EDSA was so flooded you could see that cars coming down from the Magallanes flyover were stoppping right before EDSA.

In one of the pictures from the Lumbang gate, you can see a Land Cruiser wading through pasong tamo extension flooded till its hood. Being the tough ass SUV, it just drove right through! kick ass.
