Gloomy and Rainy Days In Davao

Davao City is experiencing rainy days once again. Rain started to pour early this week. It is not a continuous downpour though but it seems like it is raining every night. During the day, a gloomy weather wakes you up just like the weather we have right now and lasts until in the afternoon. Just as everyone retires to bed, the rain starts to pour. Whenever it rains so hard, I can't help but think of the city streets in the downtown area. There are some floody streets especially in Bajada and Obrero. I had my share of experiences being stranded or being caught in a traffic jam since vehicles can't just move fast because of street floods. Long before, I used to notice piled up garbage who can no longer be accommodated by garbage cans. I am glad that the city government did a great effort to provide as many garbage cans as possible for people to throw their garbage on. I knew how these garbage can clog on to drainage canals that could sometimes be the reason why there are floody streets around. Thank God, I haven't seen any pests flocking on garbage cans! A pest control committee must have been enforced just like the Austin Pest Control in the United States. Apart from some street floods in the city, I still love rainy days!
