Provident Village, Marikina, Philippines


Why Provident Village in Marikina was one of the worst hit areas? This map shows you exactly why. The shaded area is where Provident Village is situated. Looking at this map you will see that the entire village is surrounded or enclosed within the "U shape" of the Marikina River. Thus when there is a heavy downpour, the water has nowhere to go but overflow into this area. Click on the image of the map to get a larger view.
