Zc480

Zc480. The Olongapo City cemetery, near the Kalaklan Bridge suffered two landslides, this is the bigger one and made the National news.

Zc479

Zc479. Walking on the National Road from Barretto to the Kalaklan Gate of the SBFZ; this is power transformer station at Halfmoon Beach/Valley, it looks they got hit by the flood also. I had to run my generator for 30 hours.

Zc484

Zc484. One new something has been built here near the Kalaklan Gate, where the Navy Investigating Service (NIS) Building used to be. Much of the old Naval Station is now called the Central Business District area of the SBFZ. The area on both sides of the old Water Front Road is now the Moonbay Marina District.

Zc483

Zc483. This is a new Hostel and Dormitory that just opened 3 month ago and they are expanding. It is located near Kalaklan Gate where the former Naval Investigating Office used to stand.

Zc482

Zc482. After the Mt. Pinatubo explosion the Navy built several of these large Quonset type huts. These two are near the Kalaklan Gate; this is a nice comparison view before and after.

Zc477

Zc477. Walking on the National Road from Barrio Barretto to the Kalaklan Gate of the SBFZ, this is above Sierra Beach, just leaving Barretto. This picture is interesting because of several reasons- the water rushing down and the fresh water connections, they are new, and maybe a year ago all these people living here on the slopes got their fresh water connection-FINALLY!

Zc476

Zc476. This public utility place near Dagupan Street in Barrio Barretto got flooded. Left is an example that people do not always agree with the Government, market stands were built there but the people do not want to use them. The market stands remain on Rizal Street where they cause traffic congestion but that is where the people like and use those stands where they are; Barretto’s Tally Papa.

Zc475

Zc475. I walked down the Dagupan Street in Barrio Barretto, a car had to be tied up so it did not float away but it got flooded. Other houses had sand bags piled up in front of their house doors. Remember this was about two days after the heavy rain.

Zc474

Zc474. This is the intersection of Dagupan St. and Rizal St. at the Barretto Market, called Tally Papa (not sure about the spelling. The dirty water was at least a foot deep or more here, they used fire fighter water truck to wash don this intersection.

Zc473

Zc473. This is Jolo Street, where it intersects with Rizal Street (dead ahead) in Barrio Barretto. I live on this street but to the rear of this picture. And where I live it is higher and we did not have this problem.
