Floods are a common sight in the suburbs of Legazpi City whenever it rains. Most people blame this on the archaic drainage system, but little do they know that Legazpi City has one of the most innovative, modern and mind-blowing drainage systems in the world. In fact, in the construction of the Legazpi drainage system, the technologies employed in the construction of the Panama Canal, the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Egypt and the Roman baths were taken into consideration and were very useful in the drafting of the architectural plans. To give you an overview of the marvel that is the Legazpi Drainage System, here is a simple illustration of how it works.
Picture 1. This is Legazpi City on a clear, sunny day.
Picture 2. After raining for a couple hours, the metropolitan area begins to flood. The water rises to as much as one foot.
Picture 3. PAG-ASA announced that excessive rain fall is a normal occurrence during the months of January and February. They announced that as much as 100 mm of rain will fall in the month of February alone, yet we are only in the middle of the month and the rainfall has already surpassed the 100 mm mark. Metropolitan Legazpi, particulary Vel-Amor Subd. and Oro Site are almost under 5 feet of rainwater and counting.
Picture 4. After days of non-stop rain fall, Legazpi City is completely submerged in water. Legazpi City is already known as Legazpi River.
But the beauty of it all is, after the rain stops it only takes our drainage system a couple of minutes to return Legazpi City to its usual state. Let’s thank God for small blessings people! We currently hold the record for fastest transformation from a city to a river and back. And it’s all because of our impressive drainage system. It is also in the running as one of the new man-made wonders of the modern world. Vote now at www.angmalansepatal.com.
