Karen Davila Analyzes Manila’s Flood Problems on ‘The Correspondents’
October 12, 2009 by cd
Karen Davila investigates on who is to blame in the recent floods that destroyed the lives of thousand Filipinos.
Could a sound urban planning have saved lives during the recent typhoons? Many experts believe so.
Join Karen Davila as she looks into the connection of poor urban planning to the recent floods that destroyed the lives of many Filipinos this Tuesday (Oct 13) on “The Correspondents” on ABS-CBN.
Historically, Metro Manila has always been considered flood-prone. That is why many estuaries can still be found in the area. However, these estuaries are now rendered useless due to garbage and illegal settlers which block the flow of flood water on these estuaries.
Worse, the country also has no solid flood control plan. According to expert urban planner Jun Palafox, he has suggested designs for houses and building designs that are flood-proof. Unfortunately, they fell on deaf ears.

Karen Davila is morethan a smart person, she always has a substance to whatever she delivers, Her “Voice” is simply an “Authority of Intelligence”. Morethan anyone else in the Philippine Broadcast Industry (Mel Tiangco-not even that close its a way-way ahead) I always tuned in to “Pasada Sais Trenta” with Vic deleon Lima.

Sigurado ka? Syempre mas nauna ang ABS. Nung Ondoy flood nga e nasa late night public affairs agad nila yung mga nangyari sa flood. Dami pang videos. They were the first to release top view ng areas flooded. Di magawa yun ng GMA kasi wala namans silang helicopter.

i think it is more important na maglabas ng docu ang abs cbn kung bakit in spite of pagdagsa ng mga cash donations and goods, eh HINDI pa maipamahagi ng lubusan ang mga nakuha nilang donations.
lumalabas lang na arangkada ang dos dausdos sa pagHINGI ng donations, pero pagdating sa ACTUAL distribution, palpak naman!

- decentralize metro manila
- provide means of living in the provinces-support agriculture and their livelihood activities
- for the nth time, is there nothing we could do about ILLEGAL LOGGERS???
- waste management, hindi lang ng bawat probinsya but also bawat tahanan
- gawing strikto ang pagpapatupad ng batas laban sa maling pagtatapon ng basura (kahit nga mga pulis, balat lang ng kendi binabagsak pa kung san sya nagbalat!)
ang bansa natin ay nasa typhoon belt at pacific ring of fire pero kulang tayo sa pagaaral kung pano tayo makakaligtas sa mga kalamidad.
