Safety for Residents in banks of Rivers, Lakes
October 19, 2009

Malacañang is going in right direction
In the vicinity of Fairview on the way towards SM and Robinson’s, one passes by a relatively long bridge at the bottom of which could have been a river in the past. The supposed river is now dry and a densely populated place. Someone with a nice lawyer, goons and other hirelings, collect rent or sell parcels of that dry river bed. To make the river bed a homely and respectable place, it was dubbed by this “owner” and possibly his family, as Fair Lane. Sounds like a wealthy subdivision, no? The owner has an enemy. The enemy also has lawyers and hired goons, etc. When Ondoy came, these two quarreling owners became invisible. Naturally, the river bed was first to be inundated with powerfully rushing flood waters. Ondoy did not wait for the residents to haul their appliances and houses. The residents were even surprised why suddenly everyone was in panic, shouting, Malapit Na!!! Gissiiiing!!! Likaaaas!!! What was happening to Fairlane Village?
Most of the homes went stampeding with the surface runoff water together with personal belongings. And now the owner of the river bed is collecting rent again. Dear Pres. Arroyo, Sec. Teodoro, Sec. De Castro, could you please have these owners of our river beds arrested and exiled to the gallows for the rest of their lives? How many people are they fooling and how many will suffer from the acts of these evil doers?
Finally, the Office of the President is wizening up to the impact of calamity not only in Metro Manila but on a national scale. On October 15, 2009, Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed an Executive Order stopping squatters or informal settlers in Metro Manila and other provinces’ riverbanks. This dovetails with our recommendation to remove and not to allow these settlers anymore from living in the sewerages, major or minor rivers or any place at the bank of a body of water.
It is only hoped that Malacañang will do the same to our sewerages. But understandably, that is the problem of Chairman Bayani Fernando of the MMDA, that he heads and the DPWH.

GMA orders relocation of waterway settlers
MANILA, Philippines – President Arroyo will implement the forced relocation of thousands of families living on riverbanks and other high-risk areas in Metro Manila and nearby provinces even if it would mean losing the political support of local government officials, presidential spokesman Cerge Remonde said yesterday.

2010 Summit on Risk Mapping in Manila
October 11, 2009
13 comments
We encourage the Philippine Government, Asian Governments, combines like the United Nations, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, to support this milestone activity from the remainder of 2009 up to 2010.
ANNUAL ECOLOGY CRISIS CONFERENCE
The Resource Recovery Movement will hold the first 2010 Hazards Mapping and Environment Summit (Eco 2010 Summit) in Manila, Philippines.
This is ultimately borne about by the tremendous changing of the Philippine landscape and those of other countries in the Pacific Rim in the last few decades.
All efforts towards risk mapping in relation to calamities and disasters in the past should now take into consideration the great shifts and transformations in land mass, the enormous amount of rainfall brought about by Climate Change and many new factors that were heretofore not factored into national and sub-national planning by governments as well as even by business establishments and non-government organizations.

The 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environmental Summit (HMES) is intended to develop better approaches to mapping risks and dangers to communities in the Philippines and other countries with tropical climates.
It takes a cue from the recent experience in China, Indonesia and the Philippines, notwithstanding the previous experiences in Thailand, Bangladesh, Pakistan where scores of people died due to unforeseen occurrences during the incidence of a natural disaster: earthquake, typhoon, tsunami and other calamities.
The databasing, mapping and full coordination of efforts towards use and sharing of a full function GIS on hazards, volcanoes, water, flood, forests in the Philippines and Asia, vulnerability areas, liquefaction potential, crisis and hot spots is long due because of the long-running phenomenon of Climate Change in the planet. This is also significant in that the Philippines, among other countries, lies in the Pacific Rim of Fire where a large number of earthquake faults lie.
The most important value of the conference is to determine the plan and the cost of implementing such a plan to make the Philippines and other participating nations safer from increasingly hazardous calamities.
Note: The organizers reserve the right to make minor changes in the Conference details prior to the actual Event.

The Pag-Ah Sa A, sings: I miss you like crazy
I Miss You Like Crazy
by Natalie Cole, Pag-Asa
Even though its been so long, my fortune telling’s just going wrong
I remember the things that we used to do, a kiss in the rain
Til the sun shined through, I’d try to deny it, but Im still am missing you
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy, ever when I’m forecasting
Every hour of every day, I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do, theres just no getting tama you
I can see the clouds flying in the sky, and it comes as such a sweet surprise
If seeing’s believing its worth the wait, so hold me and tell me its not too late
We’re so good together, we’re erring forever now, and I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy, ever when I’m forecasting, every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy, I miss you baby, a love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we’re there again
Musical interlude
Just one night and well have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight and whatever comes our way were gonna make it through
If seeing’s believing it’s worth the wait, so hold me and tell me its not too late
Were so good together, were starting forecasver now
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do theres just no getting rightayou
And I miss you (baby), I miss you (baby), all the tender love you gave me
When a feeling gets this strong, you know the real thing come along
And I miss you, I miss you like crazy baby, only youre sweet love
Can save me, I miss you like crazy, a love like ours will never end
Just touch me and were there again,
Miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Tama talaga Pag-Ah-Sa-A.
Everytime, all the time I feel in my guts it will rain hard and I tell people about it they rebuke me, because you keep saying it won’t.
When I render my psychic, clairvoyant prediction that it will not rain though there may not be much sun, you say, no. it’s bagyo signal no. 2.
When fishermen agree with me that it will be a bagyo coming with the signs in the sky and all around, you still say signal no. 1 or no signal.
You always miss, you’re crazy!!! Mintis!!!

Thank you for your post Archangel. Pity those people who drowned in the flood. Of course Sec. Teodoro is saying that no one drowned at sea this time. But it will be the height of shamelessness if the Coast Guard allowed or dispatched ships in those conditions in September 26. This should actually have been done a long time ago. It is ideal to localize. If they think in terms of a network platform of staging operations, they can actually do it. This concept is readily and easily available even on the internet. Still and all, there is a problem in communications, in money matters — er, economics, a lot of politics (Liberal Party posturing with the leftists that government is to blame for the mess), a lot more corruption, the lack of equipment for forecasting and rescue be it for typhoons, floods, avalanche, log stampede, etc. at Pag-asa, Office of Civil Defense, Philippine Navy, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Air Force, the Maritime Group of the PNP, local government units, among others. Yes, I vote for going local, after all nothing is truer than the doctrine of ideal time and motion: more results with less motion and less time. Let’s only hope that our leaders try for once to think straight and forget about agendas. Lives are at stake. Who knows if they or their loved ones are next?
Postscript: Its also sad that the relatives and the people of the late Cory will not have a mind to return our flood control funds from Japan. Damn that we’re paying for the loan to the Japanese. Sad as well that we have to say good bye to all the other monies stolen for other flood control projects.
Ambassador Alfonso Yuchengco will be vindicated

The case filed by former President, Joseph Estrada (nee Jose Marcelo Ejercito) alias Erap will go to naught. His Excellency Amb. Yuchengco will be proven right by history. If it’s any consolation to the Yuchengco family, many of us in the business community know the means employed by Erap, Ronnie Zamora and brother and the former Chief of the Philippine National Police Panfilo M. Lacson during their time. Nothing could have been worse.
