Transcript

00:00 We have on the line, Mayor Atorne Maria Elena Nieto. Mayor good morning to you.

00:07 Good morning.

00:09 Ma'am how are the roads and houses in the area?

00:15 In the area, all the main thoroughfares remain passable to all types of vehicles.

00:21 So we're talking about Ortega Extension, Junction, Imelda Avenue, Bonifacio. There is a slight flood in Felix Avenue.

00:32 That's the one that will go to the flood way. But it's passable to light vehicles.

00:38 Okay.

00:39 But, can I add?

00:41 Go ahead, ma'am.

00:42 There are floods in other villages here, especially on Imelda Avenue.

00:48 There are also floods in Parola, in Barangay San Roque.

00:56 Okay. Ma'am, just to clarify, are you the one who canceled classes?

01:04 Yes, as early as 4.30am today.

01:08 Because it was raining for a long time.

01:12 So I called our head of disaster and he called me and updated me.

01:19 So I was able to declare 4.30am.

01:21 In this situation, usually the traffic is heavy.

01:27 What is the way of the LGU to reduce the traffic?

01:33 Currently, there is no traffic yet because we declared.

01:42 It's passable and it's light.

01:45 But the problem areas are the areas with floods and the areas where cars are parked to save the flood.

01:52 But the main areas are light.

01:57 Okay.

01:58 Yes, ma'am.

02:03 If the heavy rains continue and the houses will reach the houses, what is the preparation of the LGU?

02:12 For us, our evacuation centers are ready.

02:20 Especially the areas that are flooded like floodway, west and east, east bank.

02:28 They are ready.

02:29 And our teams from MSWD and our Mayor's Action Team are ready to receive the evacuees.

02:43 Alright, Mayor.

02:44 Lastly, I have a call for the residents.

02:48 To our fellow residents, we are ready.

02:53 Classes are cancelled.

02:55 If there are students who are studying at home, they can study.

03:00 We will just stay on our Facebook pages for the latest updates.

03:07 Our team is ready for possible evacuees and other effects of floods and rains.

03:17 Alright. Thank you very much.
