Review of Related Literature Manila Times (2013) said that a quick solution in solving flood problems in Manila is impossible. Different causes which consider a well researched and localized study to produce a sufficient solution have been pointed out by authorities and experts. According to a geology professor in University of the Philippines, Ricarido Saturay (2013) claims that urban growth and structures such as buildings and roads contributes to the increasing flood problems. Surface runoffs are causes of these structures. It was said that these surface runoffs are supposed to pass through sewage system, but because of poor construction the systems are incapable of accumulating all runoffs. One example of a sewage system that’s incapable of letting the flood run through it that was presented by the news from a blog in araia.net, is a creek called Canal de Balete, which is now buried under roads, the National Museum, Manila City Hall, Philippine Normal University, Hotel Indah, and SM City Manila. Another cause of flood that was presented by Saturay (2013) is inability of the sewer and/or river to hold the amount of water in it. He stated that if those cannot hold contain all the water, then it will cause flood. He then suggested that different causes of flood in Metro Manila should be considered and not just concentrate on the garbage or informal settlers.
