How time flies. It's just like several months ago when Metro Manila and other neighboring provinces were hit by typhoon Ondoy and so many lives were affected and changed afterwards.
These pictures were taken at Quezon Boulevard underpass when its pumping station did not work during the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy. For the first time(?) in the history of Manila, a massive amount of water filled the Quezon Boulevard underpass and turned it into a gigantic swimming pool.
By dawn the following day, the folks within the vicinity turned the flooded underpass into a public swimming pool. Though it looked like business as usual, the sight of the major underpass in the city of Manila was uncommon. People, including me, could not help ourselves but to stop and stare for a while due to this unbelievable sight.
Even the lamp post was turned into a diving board by brave and adventurous individuals. I could not believe my eyes seeing these people flocked the lamp post and jumped into the water to their heart's content. It was indeed a spectacular sight (if you may consider it) seeing an activity like this one in the middle of a once busy underpass.
The city of Manila used several firetrucks and it took several days to actually drain it.
Today, two years after, typhoon Pedring hits the country. It seems like history is repeating itself.
