This entry is part 8 of 10 in the series "The Great Flood"

To all Calamba residents, be aware. This is the number to call in case you need help in anticipation of Typhoon Pepeng. Although no storm signal is raised in Laguna, being within the Laguna Lake area poses a serious threat to life and property should the lake overflow. We are only half a meter away from breaking the record of 14.5m of water level in 1919.

Edgar Manda, head of the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), said that as of Thursday night, the lake is almost 14 meters deep – half a meter away from the bay’s highest recorded level of 14.5 meters measured in 1919.

He said the water level in the bay could further rise once typhoon “Pepeng” makes landfall on Saturday, Oct. 3.

….

Manda said residents living near Laguna de Bay, especially those affected by the floods caused by “Ondoy,” are advised to relocate immediately.

“Delikado ito in a sense that those living around 12.5 meter elevation and the next layer, papasukin na sila,” he said. – GMANews.tv

Hello to the Municipality of Calamba!

I was in the Philippines lately and was happy to see Calamba again where we have our residence or my relatives.
It is far impressing how infrastuctures have developed in the Phils.
But I would like to give some suggestions..
->Calamba would be more beautiful if trees would be planted along the main streets
->Dogs should be kept in lost and found to maintain a clearner surroundings
->Tourism would improve if tourist would really experience a cleaner place, not only around the resorts and hotels, but also all over..market and so on..
->the street where we live, Marivel Subd. in Paciano Rizal, Calamba..is fine but reaching it we have to pass other villages, and the streets are horrible, broken, and easily flooded..Please do something about it.
Friendly Greetings,
Nona Enriquez-Schanowski
