Study of Pollution of Mass Destruction

Effective Cures Can be Cheap

I tried to study using the camera, how the air pollution look like from afar MM. This is a crude way of "studying it"  I am sure scientists from DENR, DOST, UP have better ways of measuring the air pollution.  But I am aghast at what I saw....

   Using the Nikon coolpix telephoto lens, this is how smoke starts to engulf buildings at Global City.  Note the time.


Morning views/monitoring

                               Paranaque area was still  visible

 x                              So was Alabang area;  bird in flight at the foreground

                                           Paranaque area

                                              Dramatic view of the SLEX skyline

Deteriorating air quality:

                                        Skies begin to darken, bird in the foreground

                                        Global City and surrounding areas begin to disappear

                                            Clear skies but dark cities

                              It looks like its post New Year celebration

                                   Can you still identify the place?

                               Opaque view of Global City

                              Bancas and joggers are visible;  Taytay and Pasig skyline arent!

                             The fish pens, the hut, the banca are visible, western skyline unclear

   Are we not wondering if Metro Manila commuters and residents still have functional respiratory system if this is their environment?  I am glad I live in this area.  Or we look the same from afar?


Are the  scientists measuring the air quality?

Are they taking corrective action?

What is the effect on the health of MM residents and commuters of this phenomenon.?


Pollution in the afternoon

Maybe because of  the wind and the very warm temperature, the dark skies over the Global City area disappeared.  We should be thankful for the very warm temperature;  they must have vaporized the polluting air.  But the dark skies moved to SLEX and Alabang area.

                               Paranaque area

                                Alabang and SLEX area

                                 Global City area now cleared of fumes, but still hazy though

                                 The Southwestern side (SLEX) hardly visible

           The buildings at Global city are visible from Lakeside;  now they can breathe?


Stunning sunset views

  Stunning Sunset showing clear skies, the high temp vaporized the pollutants?

      Postcard perfect picture

This is the normal view of the other side of the lake

On A Clear Day You Can See Global City; Today only Smog

Effective Cures Can be Cheap

               Do we breathe this dirty air?

On a clear day, from the Angono lakeshore forest park, you can see Muntinlups skyline and Global city buildings.  But not today or any other day.  The air is heavy with smog and visibility is poor.  That means air quality is poor, and despite LTO emission testings and apprehension, enforcement is far from being really enforcement.  It is a child if not a money making scheme by enforcers.  Because after all this is the result.

Please take note that toxins weakens body's immune system and greatly contribute to the growth in incidence of cancer.  Futhermore, from the Dr. Otto Warburg's theory of cancer, ie, low oxygen ennvironment contributes to growth of cancer cells (Dr. Warburg was the first to grow cancer cells in vitro).  Isnt something to be done to improve air quality.

Now cancer ranks second to heart disease as the cause of mortality.  In this environment, wouldnt cancer, especially of the respiratory tract very soon?

Isnt controlling air pollution, a prevention, a low cost cure?

                              Even Laguna, Talim island, Quezon (Mt Banahaw) are invisible

Clear view of sunset, same place

    You can see the silohouttte of the hut and the buildings at Global city, in the day picture, they are gone

  You can see clearly the lights at SLEX, Muntinlupa area

       Nice pictures, almost artitstic, it may win an award?!

     I could not believe I took the picture;  look at the shimmering light at the other lakeside.  They are visible.  Compare that with the day picture.  The wind must have blown the pollutants during the day or the hot temp vaporized the smog.
