Isn't that how life goes?? ups and downs, highs and lows! You have it better and much more blessed than others. Count your blessings 😊❤😊 Happy Birthday Story hope you know how very lucky you are!❤
Metro Manila was basically built over what was once a system of rivers flowing into Manila Bay. It's the source of the name of the Tagalog people in the first place (literally "people who live on the river"). In the last few decades, those rivers have either been blocked by garbage or filled in and built over by irresponsible developers. When it rains, the water from higher elevations and Laguna lake have nowhere to go but _through_ the streets. Add to that the problem of deepwells, which was used extensively by commercial and industrial corporations that drained huge amounts of groundwater, leading to Manila sinking. Though now banned, many are still operating illegally.
@@AngryKittens Interesting, it's similar here in Britain. People have built on what we call, flood plains then wonder why their houses flood, but of course it's nowhere as bad as a third world country.
@@lynnemorris7516 Except the Philippines is not a third world country by any means. The infrastructure may not be as modern but they are on par with other developed countries and are consistently improving. Don't believe me? A simple google will suffice. "The Philippines itself falls under the developing category. The three-worlds theory dates back to the Cold War era where: First World nations are those who align with NATO, Second World Countries are neutral and Third World countries are those who align with China and the USSR."
Happy birthday Story ! Since you grow in the Phil, you will also become as resilient as any Filipino .. Don't get so stressed by things beyond human control .Normally, if flights are cancelled due to bad weather conditions rebooking is normally free of charge ...it's given !
Glad you made it! I hope you share with us what happened with the immigration officer and how it was sorted.. It was really a stressful weekend and so happy you finally made it with your family in Hongkong Jay. God bless your family
The officer decided to ignore the missing entry stamp and let me just pay the overstay penalty that had accrued because of the missing stamp. I also paid a penalty for not being able to obtain exit clearance due to that same stamp. It was all legally sorted with receipts etc, at the discretion of the officers at the border.
In my experience of over 20 years here, including permanent residency and necessary visas, Philippines Immigration is actually easy to deal with. The solution to your problem is not to blame others, as you create your own ridiculous problems, by inflexible, and extremely poor planning, lack of proper paperwork, and leaving everything to the last minute. Why haven’t you any solutions, help and supporting paperwork and documentation from British authorities? The floods in Manila, during typhoon season, and ample forecasts were obvious if you have even the slightest clue about the weather in the Philippines. There are numerous typhoon information providers giving continuous warnings and guidelines. You literally went to Manila in the middle of an obvious typhoon, which was guaranteed to bring flooding rains, demanding that everyone battle through life threatening floods for your oh so important birthday party? lts like flying into Texas during tornado season and with imminent devastating tornado forecasts, and being shocked, upset and dismayed when everything is disrupted and shut. And then claiming that it’s everyone else’s fault. Now you are heading to Hong Kong in the middle of a typhoon warning there? Because its so important and earth shattering, a birthday party? It’s more entertaining than South Park.😅
I was praying for you all 🙏🏻 I'm soo happy that you all can go together ❤️ Story crying from relief and happiness, made me tear up (in a good way though😊) Safe travels 💖 🛫
I think the best part of this video are the tears. Story went through all of this with a smile on her face. She is a grateful little girl. She is overwhelmed by the good news yet she would have made the best of it had it not turned out so well .😘 Safe travels and blessings.
it's will be a life lesson for Story to understand life's challenges early and she will be more wiser when she gets older. She is exposed to some tough realities in life.
I'm so glad to see you guys finally reached HK after all the challenges. That was a horrible scenes after the typhoon. I feel so sad for those are greatly affected 😢 Imagine cleaning up those mud! Happy for Jay as well that the whole family will be celebrating Story's birthday. 🎉
Cavite is one of the most affected by flood and some other parts of manila..here in makati we're doing okey,and no brownout..enjoy your vacation and sorry for the inconvenient...happy birthday to story 🎉🎉🎉..all's well that ends well😅
Jay everything has a purpose, a reason and a season. Never despair all things work to the Glory of God. All you're trying to do is make memories with your precious daughter. You're good people!
I'm pleased that common sense prevailed & you've all got away to Hong Kong, hope you have a wonderful time, look forward to your videos, Happy birthday to Story 🎉 xx
I am so glad you made it to Hongkong! God has rewarded you because you did your part to fix things out and kept your cool. I love that about your family. Take care always and enjoy! ❤❤❤
So glad and relieved for the happy ending to your drama! It reminded me of the ending scenes in "The Year of Living Dangerously," with Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver.

The pickup truck can actually push thru that water level @ 0:31 since the bike doesnt seem to have problems pedaling thru
J you got lucky. My aunt was charged for rebooking her flight to incheon during the storm. She needed to shell out over a thousand
