Wazzup Pilipinas!
Aaahhh!!! The flood season has started once again. This Maring has still to end and the flood to subside but only after damaging a great deal of vehicles all over the Metro.
My car was one of the victims during typhoon Ondoy, and sadly I never got to buy a new one in fear of the same thing happening all over again. So, I was right after all! I've learned to invest first on a parking location free from flooding, but still many do not have the convenience and luxury to choose where to park their cars.
Many of the car owners here in the Metro do not really have their own parking space or garage. Many of their vehicles are parked on the streets - regardless how narrow or wide the streets are - because many can't afford to own a house with a garage in the city.
Here are some tips from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. and the Asian Carmakers Corporation (the official importer and distributor of BMW vehicles in the Philippines) on what to do in case car owners or passengers encounter floods on the road, and how to respond when their vehicle is damaged in a flood.
