Good idea Jim. However it got me thinking also... in the case of Pasig river, the flow of the water depends on the time and tide of the day. Sometimes water flows inward from the bay to Laguna lake but there are times also that the water flows from the lake to the ocean (which is what seems to be natural to me, all water flows toward the ocean).
Just a thought. This is the same case also in Malabon and some parts of Bulacan also :) On Sep 12, 2013 9:42 AM, "Jim Morgan" <j...@datalude.com> wrote: > On Thursday, 12 September, 2013 09:31 AM, maning sambale wrote: > >> In some cases, we had to switch the way direction to follow the the >> convention [0] that the "direction of the way should be downstream >> > Hah, I'd never really thought of this before.
