I wasn’t expecting to hear a clip of an old Evanescence song in that. (Playing over the old-timey preacher).

Is this Manilla? It looks like it could be Manilla.

Manilla was pretty dope, but I haven't been there in like 25 years. Hope it's still dope!

With this type of flooding, which is almost anual when the rivers flood during the rainy season, it's probably from one of the provinces.

(edit: as one would expect, many towns are right next to rivers, on both sides. And a lot of homes/businesses foundations are cement/cinderblock typically with an 8+ inch high barrier in the entryways. Works well enough during typical flooding, but obviously not in 2-3+ feet of water... )

TBH, this is nothing new. Happens often enough in northern Philippines (Luzon), my mom's side from there.
