good to hear that!

I don't know if islands really sink. What I only know is sea levels going up

islands sinking or sea levels rising = same ra ghapon ug resulta.

Subsidence is a fact. However, its overall effect in floods can only be felt in hundreds of years, not tens. The main reasons for the floods in Luzon are simple:

a) Increased rainfall

b) Depleted forests

c) Rivers choked up by sediments and garbage

All the other reasons just add up to the MAIN reasons of why the flooding occurred. If the mean ground level has indeed lowered in the past 50 years, then yes, that could add to the worsening, but it's a secondary or tertiary reason.

Kini this is a wake up call that investors should not invest more on an over populated area grabe na ka congested ang Luzon. I recall Gov Lito Osmena's "PROMDI" initiative. He might have the last laugh if all this things are true.

Letters B and C can controlled and prevented by humans while A cannot be. But i guess there should be contingency measures as early as now on how to deal with this heavy rainfalls that we are experiencing nowadays..
