Thursday On The Road with Our Mighty Trike

No:64-12

September 29,2022

This is day 4 that our town is submerge into flood water. Among the 30 barangay's , half of it is still flooded and that include ours. My first grader son don't have classes yet though my daughter whose into Senior High has , that's why we have to send her to school this morning.

Some of the places within our town has high flood water level that they use boats to sail going to the main road . Fortunately , our place is beside the main road so we have easy access to go to town proper for our needs. Aside from the fact that our area is always the last one to be flooded coz it is somehow high. Though there is still water in our yard but not too high to cause too much discomforts.

I pity those whose houses are almost half submerge into water for days now. They don't have much choice but to live with it.

My daughter's school is over 5 kilometers from our place. Since some parts of the road is still in water we bring our " mighty trike " with us to send our eldest to school. We leave at exactly 6:30 am .

Along the road we thought we can't make it coz of the current caused by the water coming from the fields to the road . We witnessed how other houses are almost half submege into water. Some vehicles too are park along the road .

Good thing our "Mignty Trike" did make it and we were able to bring our daughter safe and dry to school just in time for her first class.

If not for Mighty my daughter can't go to school coz no other vehicle are trying to cross the road and there's no public vehicle yet passing due to flood.

The main road was used to level with the vast fields and it was elevated and constructed thrice to make it passable during this flood season but some parts of the road are still reach by flood waters. Based on the news another LPA or Low Pressure Area is forming that's why the community is worried about the rise of water.

We are living in a place where floodings is a normal occurence during the rainy seasons though we are used to it but we can't help but feel sad and worry whenever it hit us. The recent pandemic caused people lots of mental stress and so facing another difficulty such as these make it harder for lots of people in the community.

Since we are already in the town proper and it's not easy to travel due to current situation , i also went to the Water District Office to report my billing concern. Our monthly average consumption was only amounting to 800php + but upon receiving the bill this current month it was 1600php +.So i reported it for them to check the meter and the lines if there is some leak. You can only report the discrepancy within 7 days upon the receipt of the bill statement or else i would pay the said amount with no qualms.

It is raining as of this writing and i just utter a short prayer hoping it won't pour hard as it would add up to the rise of water. Grateful for our Mighty Trike , hihi ! Always ready for a bumpy or watery ride. Laban yaaan!

That"s it for today . Thank you for your time. To all my sponsors " Salamat po ng Marami! ".
