"Mysterious river appears in EDSA", it does sound funny if you're not in the midst of it. It never changed.

The water rose almost waist-deep. Can you imagine? ‪#‎TV9‬ ‪#‎NightlyNews‬‪#‎Thunderstorm‬ ‪#‎Moonsoon‬ ‪#‎Flooding‬ ‪#‎Flood‬ ‪#‎Throwback‬ ‪#‎Reminisce‬‪#‎StudentLife‬ ‪#‎Manila‬ ‪#‎PWUTaft‬
