                                  View of BGC - walang air pollution?

                                   Everytime my daughter comes home from Makati,
                                        she has dry harsh cough?  Caused by air pollution?

Cold air means more air pollution settling low in the morning

Clean air act

Rizal  Philippines  |  December 20, 2013

It is 4 days before Christmas (Merry Christmas)

The air is cold in the morning and the air pollutants hang low over MM and the Laguna Lake.  While the rest of the lake looks placid and calm, the skies look ominous with the evil that it brings to health and the climate.

                                        That is Asahi (Republic Glass) smokestack?

                                         Fishing birds and BGC at the background

                         Water lilies are good anti water pollution plants, they clean up the lake

These were the air pollution I noticed yesterday at C6 on December 1, 2013

Air pollution kills

Rizal Philippines  |  December 2, 2013

I noticed the dark horizon as I biked with our group on the way to Ternate Cavite.  I took this picture at C6;  notice the rust color of the sky:

                                        Notice the rust colored band on the horizon

Air pollution kills

From aboard flt PR l40 over MM taking off June 14, 2013

I got a very expensive tripod:  an airbus 320 -200

Do you think we have air pollution over MM?  Or did the typhoon blow away the polluted air?

 The floodway

 Why is the air bluish and somewhat rust colored too?

   The area near the SLEX c5, the plane has just barely taken off

 View of Laguna Lake

 The east and west bank of the flood way, so many urban informal settlers

More views of street level air pollution

Metro Manila    PHL      |   May 9, 2013

My lectures at a training institute for insurance execs gave me the opportunity to take pictures of other vehicles which are violating the clean air act.  Mind you, the vehicle that I brought is brand new and Euro 4 compliant.

Here are some of the pictures:

                               A superb air polluter;  who cant even see the plate number

                         It is overloaded, no TPM, and air cleaner and oil may be dirty/old

                                         Even gasoline fed engine pollutes the air

                                 The scene is repeated thousand times during the day

Another view point of air pollution of Ortigas CBD - from Alta Vista, Antipolo City

Alta Vista, Antipolo City  |  April 28, 2013

As I biked today, I found out that there is a vantage view point of Metro Manila at Alta Vista in Antipolo City.  I ventured to find out if no pollution exists if viewed from that point -  it does.  These are what my Nikon Coolpix saw:

 The pollution band over Ortigas CBD seems to grow taller;   not to mention amount of EMF pollution

 Is this jeepney helping the cause of air quality?   I doubt?

 A telephoto shot of Ortigas CBD.  What do you see

 The millionaire mountain view houses;  are they exempt from air pollution?

Metro Manila Air Pollution views from Eastridge

Eastridge, Angono, Rizal  PHL    | April 27, 2013

We had our PE at Eastridge (going to Thunderbird resort - casino) and I happened to observe/take picture of the worsening air pollution in MM.  Last year, the air pollution was hazy.  Now it is getting darker.  Before, only the portion up to Bicutan area is affected;  now even San Pedro and Sta Rosa are being overcome by air pollution.  Even Angono and the Laguna Lake have polluted air above.  Please see for yourself and judge  (I do not know how to edit pictures or make special effects yet. These are authentic unretouched pictures)

Is MM dying?

 The floodway, Napindan, BGC area

 Alabang area is hazy now too

  Other areas going southward are now affected too; even over the Laguna Lake

 Can pictures lie?

 Shall smoke ever leave this area?

 That is Hillsdale to the right; and Taytay yonder

 That is the church in the sky

 The forest and the pollution;  what a contrast

 That is Twin Hills subdivsion and  Loyola Retreat House to the center;  HMR warehouse to the right

This is a stunning view of MM veiled by pollution
