Mud, flood and blood due to Ondoy
Posted on September 28, 2009, 2:24 AM under Street Stories
Electricity and mobile services are now up as Barasenians slowly start to recuperate from the havoc brought by typhoon “Ondoy.”
Lights started to lit up around 1 AM, September 28 while the service of Smart started to run last evening.
Baras Rizal Online has heard that some houses in A. Ferrera street in Barangay Santiago were submerged, while some people in Barangay Rizal sought refuge in Well’s Resort in Barangay San Jose. Roads are passable but extra care must be taken as muds from the overflown river is still not collected. Trash also piled up in the streets.
GMANews.tv has reported that five people were dead in Baras, while a citizen update last night in FM station Jam 88.3 said that a landslide occured in Sitio Mambog, Barangay San Juan. BRO still has to confirm the reports.
Classes in all levels in Metro Manila and Region IV have been suspended until Tuesday. Reports over the radio has said that there was a landslide in Teresa, Rizal, making the way to Antipolo City difficult. Alternatives routes to Metro Manila such as Binangonan and Paenaan/Pinugay were identified.
Nine years ago on Nov. 3, 2000, Baras experienced a similar flood but not comparable with what they experienced last Saturday.
Here are the initial pictures taken Saturday afternoon in the Baras river and Barangay Mabini. Take note that these were taken at 5 in the afternoon of September 26, where water may have already subsided by four feet.

Nakakalungkot ang balitang ito. Kami rito sa ibang bansa ay nag-aalala sa ating mga kababayan nasalanta ng baha at bagyo. If people from abroad want to help where do we send donations?
Can BRO initiate one?

Herbert,
Nasan yung evacuation centre sa Baras? Susunduin ng akin mga kapatid yung nanay at kuya ko. Last time we heard, they were at an evacuation centre.
Manggagaling pati sila from Pasig. Paano kaya ang pinakamabuting daan para makapasok sila ng Baras? Wala pa rin silang access sa internet kaya ako ang naghahanap ng info dito sa Canada and am feeding it back to them. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Maraming Salamat.

better take Tikling-Angono Highway route to go to Baras…it is a better choice than Antipoli which is more possible for landslide debris.But for now, still search for any info regarding the situation in Antipolo ( Solid and El Dorado places) for i really don’t know the situation if it is already passable.i haven’t been there since Friday due to flood around Manila. Hope this helped you…

My friend told me na madami na daw nagkakasakit kasi wala pang supply nang medicines and other basic necessities. Is there any assistance (say, food, medicines etc) from the government and other volunteers coming to the area?

i hope na maraming magkusang tumulong kahit sa maliit na bagay lang, para medyo magaanan yung pakiramdam ng mga nawalan ng kanilang mga gamit at mahal sa buhay; thank God my family’s alright kahit inabot sila ng baha but my mum is still worried as we haven’t heard anything from my brother who works in manila(taga ilaya st po ako,)

paki tingnan mo nga rin ang papuntang palengke, sa katwiran, doon ako from, salamat uli

Tulad ng ginawa namin, iminumungkahi ko sa gustong tumulong na magpadala ng pera sa simbahan (Fr. Hilario ) o pastor at bigyan ng instruction kung papaano gagastusin ang inyong ipinadala, e.g. rice, canned goods, water. Ipidala ninyo through western union, uniteller, or paypal. Maliit mang tulong ay napalaking kaibsan sa hirap ng ating mahihirap na kababayan. Time is of the essence.

Pwede na po ba madaanan ang Antipolo? Yung ibaba ( A. Bonifacio St.) sa bahay ng Tita Zeny (Santiago) ko, mga 6ft above the ground na bahay nila, knee deep pa sa loob nung nag text kami last Sat, nag joke pa nga taga tabing ilog na daw sila and isla na ang kapit-bahay nila.. kapal daw ng putik.

Matanong ko lang po, naabot na po ba tayo ng mga relief supply mula sa govt./abs-cbn/etc.
Nakita ko kasi ang mga pics sa Tanaygeographic na marami ng help supply ang natatanggap ng mga taga Tanay. Sana si mayor maki-ugnay agad sa mga kinaukulan na padalhan din tayo ng tulong. Magpapadala din ako ng tulong pero uunahin ko muna ang mga relatives ko diyan.
