00:00 The residents of Bulacan are still trying to get out of the flood
00:03 because the floodwater is still not reaching some of the towns there.
00:06 And from Paumbong, Bulacan, we are now joined by Jonathan Andal.
00:11 Jonathan?
00:13 Pia, yesterday, there were 10.
00:17 Now, there are only 8 towns in Bulacan that are still submerged in the floodwater.
00:21 Here in my position in Paumbong, the reason for the flood is the rainwater from the past few days.
00:26 But in our trip to the town of Hagonoy, the reason for the high flood is the combination of high tide and low tide.
00:34 Saturday, a day of rest.
00:40 So even if it rains, this birthday celebration continues in Hagonoy, Bulacan.
00:45 Life must go on.
00:48 It's also the day of the washing.
00:52 Jessie's mother was asked to wash from her house to the evacuation center where she will be staying.
01:00 There's no water here.
01:03 So we wash here.
01:05 One of the problems here is the bathrooms are still submerged in the floodwater.
01:11 How did you guys do the CCR?
01:12 In the chair.
01:14 In the chair?
01:15 What about when it gets dirty?
01:17 In the other house, in my mother's house.
01:19 But why didn't you go to the evacuation?
01:21 Because we can't leave our belongings.
01:24 But the most demanding issue now is the need of the people of San Miguel, in Hagonoy, for relief goods.
01:32 We don't receive any help.
01:35 If we don't have rice, we won't be able to feed our family.
01:38 We are still trying to get the local government's support.
01:43 In this situation, they are holding on to each other's pain.
01:48 How much do you owe Rice Coomer?
01:50 We don't have any. We are out of rice.
01:52 The business and livelihood of the people here is affected for almost a week.
01:58 That's why some people are discarding.
02:00 Like Abigail, a tricycle driver, but now she's selling rice.
02:04 You need to find another way.
02:07 You need to, you can't stop your life.
02:09 The people here are now cleaning.
02:12 The businessmen are also starting to buy supplies.
02:15 Everyone is taking advantage of this rainy day.
02:19 [Rain sounds]
02:23 Pia, it didn't rain all day here in Barangay Capitangan in Paumbong.
02:28 And the rain is slowly coming down. Pia?
02:31 [Rain sounds]
02:32 Thank you very much, Jonathan Anda.
