Heavy rains for 6 straight hours yesterday inundated much of Metro Manila . Many were stranded.
I just had dinner with a fellow travelblogger last Monday, who flew to Palawan the day after. Good for him (Ben) , as there is not much to do in flooded Metro Manila, worst hit yesterday.
Reply to this My boyfriend couldn't leave Subic to travel to Manila Monday morning because he was told the roads are impassable due to flooding. He is scheduled to fly out of Manila on Wednesday...hope he can get there. Any updates on travel from Subic to Manila?

Did you take any photos of it, Liliram?
The news is making it sound pretty bad. Apparently, people have died because of it.
Reply to this About 140 perished . Many left homeless. Manila was worst hit, though some parts south and north of manila were also affected. I took pictures but have been busy with relief operations. Some of my friends were rescued as late as this morning only. here's a link.

The blogspot includes many pictures posted by a friend of mine. I leave it to you Mell to snip away. Won't mind. I'd try to upload some of my photos instead.
Btw, the road from Subic to Manila should have been cleared of debris by now. And waters have subsided . So Deb's bf should be able to catch that flight on Wednesday. Be sure to advise him to give it a lot of time allowance as traffic around Manila is even crazier after the floods.
