This is considered as the largest subdivision in Tacloban City, Leyte, Philippines. It has typical one-storey housing units expect for some already owned and paid-for units that have been renovated into large 2 or 3-storey houses, usually taking up the whole lot area. The subdivision, with its poorly implemented planning and design, experience problems almost on a regular basis. The number one problem is the intermittent flooding caused by heavy rains. Every Leyteno would know that the region is part of the typhoon belt since it faces the Pacific Ocean. The flood water, after an hour of heavy rain, finds their way inside residential houses, sometimes making a large area of the subdivision unliveable as well as unhygienic. This is furhter exacerbated by the development of an adjacent subdivision, Villa Dolina, which was developed on higher elevation to drain their rainwater into V&G. This has been going on since as long as I can remember and nobody seems to be doing anything about it.

  • hey!!!!!!!!!!you guys mihgt want to put some positive emotions in here! drop the nightmares there's a billion people out there reading yuor comments about our so called home people far away from hime eager for it's comfort.so do you mind commenting on the rather inspiring thoughts?!
  • why do you not want the negative comments?? when one states facts and truth.. it will remain true and fact.. regardless of what happy image we want to the billions who checks out this site. the fact are these: 1.major portions of V&G is always flooded whenever there is even a slight rain. 2. the city govt. has not done anything enough to alleviate/solve the problem 3. it has been a traumatic experince for many residence to look up at the sky and see darkening clouds-a clear sing of coming rain and flooding again. why hide the fact that the BIGGEST subdivision in Eastern Visayas. is regularly flooded whenever it rain JUST TO LOOK "GUAPO AND BEAUTIFUL". The city govt. officials a have been forgetting that the owners of these Housing units are paying real estate taxes. To those who are against psoint negative comments.. "have you live in a house that is flooded.. when you have to evacuate to your uncles house whenever it rains??"
  • I love Tacloban. Since I'm based in Manila, I often ask my friends for an update on the developments of the place. Ang ganda na raw ng Tacloban !! It has improved a lot with the City Administration of the Romualdez's and of course with the Petilla's (for the Province). I pray that both government administrators will continue in their collaboration to improve our place. Thank you, Alfred and Kring-Kring Romualdez and the Mother and Son tandem of the Petilla's. Ganyan, magtulungan tayo! I look forward for my next visit in october. Kita tayo, ha?
  • I know Yes to HUC (Highly Urbanized City), but the Mayor does not clean our Canals, we just do it. If it was Highly Urbanized then they start at the biggest Subdivision here V & G. If they don't start at our Subdivision, then we say NO!
