Davao City Streets Flooded After Heavy Rain

Around 3 in the afternoon yesterday, heavy rain hit the city of Davao. Heavy rain lasted for only 30 minutes, but it leaved main streets and commercial areas flooded. The flood is high that it caused small vehicles to stop in the middle of flooded streets as water leveled their vehicle's engine. Since it's a Saturday, a lot of shoppers, office workers and party goers left stranded because of flood.

The above images were taken yesterday (Feb.12, 2011). This area, believe it or not was taken outside a shopping mall along J.P Laurel Avenue. Lots of people were stranded for a couple of hours because of dirty water. In fact water level was high that it went inside some establishments near the streets. 

Comment:

Flooding has become a major problem of Davao City for more than 30 years now, and still no concrete solutions were implemented whatsoever. Yesterday's rain lasted only for 30 minutes - pouring water to flood Davao city's main streets about 2 feet high. What's more alarming is that yesterday's rain was only the effect of Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) affecting the whole area of Mindanao - not typhoon. Worst case scenario, if a strong typhoon will hit Davao City, for suer it'll flood the whole area of Davao City at a level more than 5 times the yesterday's water level.

Hoping that Davao City government initiates a move to solve the flooding problems drowning the city for more than 3o years now.

Rotational Brown-out in Davao City (the effects of El- Niño Phenomenon)

For 3 consecutive days, residents in davao city has been experiencing a 1 hour rotational black-out. It is rotational since power interruption was scheduled to different areas in Davao city in a 1 hour interval. In our area, the 1^st occurred at around 7:50 p.m, the 2^nd was yesterday around 4:00 p.m and the 3^rd was last night at around 7:00 pm. All these 3 black-outs lasted for an hour. This rotational black-out was the identified solution to the power shortage not only in Mindanao but throughout the country which is the one of the bad effects of the el-Niño phenomenon. The Philippines has been experiencing sudden increase in temperature causing water levels in dams to drastically reduce to critical level. Rivers that power hydroelectric pumps of electric companies also decreases resulting to scarcity in the supply of electricity. According to the reports in news programs, this rotational black-out will continue till March or even longer depending on the changes in the weather of the country. Not only was the supply of electricity was badly affected by the El-Nino, but also the water supply, water companies also calling to the people to conserve water as the dams starting to reached its critical level. It hasn’t rain in the country for almost 2 months now.

For me, rotational black-out for 1 hour is a good solution to the problem of power shortage that we Filipinos are facing right now. But for the electric company, they must give a warning or distribute schedules of power interruption to affected areas so that people can also prepare especially those business establishments where electricity is very important. Everyone must now help conserve electricity and even water for the future. With the effects of global warming helping El- Niño to become hotter, we will expect much more difficult problems in the future. We must practice ourselves conserving what we have for the future of this mother earth. This rotational black-out is a help alleviating global warming. Lets all help and contribute in saving our EARTH. Conserve electricity and water…

Bomb Scare in Davao City

Local residents in davao city were alarmed after hearing the news of 2 bomb scares in different areas within the city in the afternoon of February 24, 2010. Even me after hearing the news on the said bomb scare was alarmed and cannot believe knowing how tight the security in the city. The said bombs were found in the comfort room of the city hall while the other one was found outside the gates of a branch of Central Bank of the Philippines. Local authorities and bomb squads quickly responded to the scene where the suspected bombs were found and then was detonated in a safe place.

Local bomb squads reassembled the detonated bombs to figure out how it was made and also to be used as evidence in their investigation of who planted those bombs and what are their motives. According to local authorities, the bombs were an improvised explosives and was made on the following materials; 2 bottles of drinking water filled with ammonium nitrate used as the explosive substance, a circuit board, a 9 volts battery and a cell phone that used as the triggering device. Also according to the bomb squads, if those bombs exploded in a crowded place, it could result into severe civilian casualties and damage to properties even though no shrapnel’s found in the package where the bombs were placed. Davao city mayor Rodrigo Duterte in an interview with the local media said that the bomb scare incident was just a plot to ruin the good image of the city and has no intentions of hurting civilians. He also said that he already had suspects of who did the said bomb scare.

City Hall of Davao: Location of the second bomb scare

Though no one died or got injured from the said incident, but this incident could affect the tourism of the city especially during the celebration of Araw ng Dabaw this March 16, 2010. This incident also could ruin the good image of the city which was identified as one of the most livable city in Asia. The good thing was that local police and the local government quickly responded and took control of the situation so prevent worst damage to the city. Another angle being looked at was that there is also a tendency that the root of this incident is purely political. There are those who want davao city to be under comelec control; a situation where the local police, military and the local government will be in the control of the Commission on Elections until the end of the election period. Hopefully this incident will be solved and those who are responsible will be punished and bring back the peace and order of the city, an asset that Davao City has over the past 20 years in spite of unsolved killings in the city. Maybe this is one of the signs of the fiery 2010 elections in the city; a tough battle between the 2 opposing parties here in Davao City.
