Last night, Davao City experienced heavy downpour that triggered flood. Residents in Matina were preemptively evacuated to avoid possible flashfloods.

As usual, flooding is an headache of the city while the people of Davao are hoping including this writer, for their leaders to seek solutions on this matter.This will not be healed overnight but at least, there is visible action. Serious and attainable action.

Here are some flood scenes in Davao Wednesday night. See photos.
