00:00 Igan, the water level in Marikina River is increasing due to the continuous rain.
00:04 Let's find out the situation with the first live news of Bam Alegre.
00:09 Bam?
00:11 Igan, good morning.
00:16 In the continuous rain in Magdamagay, the first alarm was raised here in the river of Marikina.
00:22 And you can see now, the monitoring is continuous because it's also close to rising.
00:27 The second alarm.
00:30 In our tour earlier, we saw that the two vehicles parked in the river banks of Marikina River were not able to leave.
00:38 They were submerged in the flood and were tied up so that the flood would not continue.
00:42 Due to the continuous rain, the water level in the river rose to 15 meters earlier this morning.
00:48 If the water level is this high, the river is flooding the river banks.
00:52 The 15 meters is already a warning for the first alarm.
00:55 It means that the residents are giving warning for the possibility of evacuation to save themselves from the flood.
01:02 Here is the statement of a resident of Barangay Santo Nino, Richard Magnayon.
01:06 We are warning the people who are parked in the car
01:10 that if the water level rises, they will be transferred to a higher place.
01:15 I hope that it will not continue so that it will not add to the problem.
01:21 Let's go.
01:25 So, Egan, this is the live situation of the two vehicles that were left here in the middle of the flood.
01:33 They were not able to leave because of the flooding of the river.
01:38 So, this is the area where usually bicycles and air seizures are happening in Marikina.
01:44 But if this is the first alarm, the river is really flooding.
01:50 So, this is the continuous monitoring of the local government.
01:53 It's time for the second alarm to go up.
01:56 A forced evacuation is needed in the lower parts of the city.
02:02 This is the first news from Marikina.
