Typhoon Ondoy Aftermath in the Heart of Manila

Let us all do our share and help the victims of typhoon Ondoy.
Please see information and dropped off sites at the bottom....

Typhoon Ondoy with strong rainfalls compared to a month rainfalls gave quiapo a day to remember. Fist time since 1969, the vehicle recto underpass began to swell and it overflows to the delight of nearby kids who find it hard to resist to swim in the overflowing underpass. It would take 2 days to remove the water in this underpass.

I have to take some aftermath shots in the heart of manila, Quiapo Manila. Quiapo flooded in all places and the most noticeable was the quiapo recto underpass near isetan recto at the corner of Quezon Boulevard and Recto Avenue.
