Now that stormy days are here bette watch out
Yup...every three to five years.........Calumpit becomes Venice...wherein most of the land is submerge in water (my hometown is the catch basin of the Pangasinan and Candaba area) , the major transportation at this point in time are boats. The battle neck here would be in the dike area...my baranggay is one of the many baranggays which lie on it. As i have observed eversince i was a child the dike area is the busiest and the happiest place during the flood. Ho wironic isn’t it....

According to many drivers these....traffic lights even made their driving....a the traffic rules....:(
Unique Suggestions: You do not have any choice....but to just follow these traffic lights..;)
Just don't be upset....patience...patience and more patience when driving in the area..:)
Fun Alternatives: Just listen to your favorite music....in your car stereo when driving in the area...i think that is the best and only solution...................
