Rainy Nights

Last June 17, 2013. I remembered that it was a hot Monday morning and I was already in my way to school. As I was going to school  I recall that I forgot to bring my umbrella but I thought that "Maaraw naman hindi na yan uulan" but I was wrong. It was 4:00 in the afternoon when I saw a big chunk of cloud forming above us but I just ignored it and go on with my scheduled activities. After an hour it started raining heavily and everyone in the class just started to make a fuss about the rain then after our last class our professor said that "Go home early before the streets are flooded" but it was not a good idea for me because I forgot my umbrella and now I'm stuck with my fellow classmate who has no umbrella. After one and a half hour of continuous raining I noticed that many vehicles are piling up the street. Knowing our location I already have a hunch that it is flooded in the streets of kalentong. So rather than walking straight on the flood we just wait in the premises of our school until the water in the streets subside. After more hours of waiting we decided that it is now safe to go home. Thankfully we all got safe home but it was already 2:00 in the morning and we have class at 9:30 am. That is my first time to be stranded in the school and that is when I remembered that we have to make a blog about our environment and after that experience I've decided to make a blog about flooding. So I personally talk to my parents and got this answer from them.

F: "Bakit bumabaha? Dahil yan sa mga basurang tinatapon kung saan saan"

M: "Bumabaha sa lugar ninyo kasi hindi nila inaayos ang drainage system at bumabara lahat ng basura"

 I made a root cause analysis of what is the main problem.

After I've done this root cause analysis table I concluded that the real cause of the problem is "Money". Theoretically and conceptually my assumption of what is the real cause of the flood is money because if there is money all of the rules and regulations about disposal of garbage and broken drainage system can be fixed.
