Flooding In La Trinidad, Benguet Is A Serious Problem

La Trinidad, Benguet has a very serious problem. Let's be honest, Typhoon Emong is rather tame. It's not that strong. And it passed quickly. Yet it caused so much flooding in many areas from Km. 4 to Buyagan. 

The Balili River rose to a level where it nearly reached the new Balili Bridge in Km. 5. If a much stronger typhoon that brings more rain comes along, it's possible that the water level will reach the bridge. 

It seems like all it takes is a heavy downpour to cause flooding in the town. Just look at the junction in Puguis - Buyagan. That place gets flooded too often. 

This is a problem that needs fixing. There are bigger and stronger typhoons up ahead. Imagine the amount of rain they bring. It's not a pretty picture.
