In every monsoon rains the Laguna area is always flooded with water due to a shallow Laguna de Bay. To control the possible over flooding of water in the said area, Laguna de Bay should be dredged and as plan by President Noynoy Aquino is to construct a dig dike to control the rising water level of the said Bay.
This flooding problem in Laguna has already been long issue before. It was recalled that the President mentioned this problem when he visited flood victims in Marikina, Quezon City, Valenzuela and Navotas sometime in 1212
It has been recalled that last year in the same month of August, a heavy downpour made the lake's water level to rise to 12.55 meters, more than a bit to 12.50 critical level. Gov. Jeorge "ER" Ejercito of Laguna worried about that situation of his province wherein 20,000 families were already affected and 47 evacuation centers were organized to accommodate those affected families.
