00:00Once again, the places in Malabon and Labotas were flooded.
00:05Because of that, in the floodgate that was destroyed by a barge in June,
00:09the situation there is still not getting better.
00:11Raffy Lima is live.
00:13Raffy.
00:17Emil Calvario now, for the residents of Malabon.
00:19This flood was caused by a heavy rain
00:23and was accompanied by a high tide
00:25and was also accompanied by the destruction of a floodgate
00:28that was destroyed last month.
00:34In Malabon Bridge, the vehicles were blocked
00:36and were unable to move forward due to the flood in Rizal Avenue Extension
00:39towards the direction of Malabon City Hall.
00:42Some vehicles were able to maneuver back
00:44while others were still able to move forward
00:46in one to two feet of water.
00:48This armored van got stuck, but it was able to move forward.
00:51Are you stuck?
00:52We're stuck, sir.
00:54We're stuck, sir.
00:56The public transportation was affected
00:58so many people walked in the flood,
01:00including these two.
01:01I bought medicine.
01:04How many hours have you been walking?
01:05It's been two hours.
01:07The City Hall also allowed stranded people to ride.
01:10Some jeeps were also forced to cross,
01:12but it was still not enough compared to the passengers.
01:15How many barangays are fully affected here in Malabon?
01:17Well, for now,
01:19Taniong, San Agustin,
01:22Baritan, Concepcion,
01:25and also Pirinyal, Hulung Duhat,
01:28Dampalit, Flores, Baritan.
01:31So for now, there's no need to rescue or evacuate?
01:35We're ready,
01:36because we're ready for the flood.
01:39It was difficult, but some people in Malabon enjoyed the flood,
01:42like this group that seemed to be on the beach.
01:44Only in the Philippines, sir!
01:46No, it's not only in the Philippines!
01:49This vendor continues to sell.
01:51Even if the flood is heavy,
01:53we're still able to buy.
01:55Thank God.
01:56Do you still have food?
01:58Yes, we still have a lot of food.
02:01They were just recently swept away,
02:03even though the pumping station in Tulyahan River is still working.
02:06The volume of the water is not enough,
02:08because the navigation of the floodgate was damaged
02:10in the nearby hole that was hit by a barge.
02:13If this works, the flood won't be this deep?
02:15Yes.
02:16For two years, we haven't had a flood here,
02:18so now, again.
02:21And they're still dredging
02:23because the damage is beneath the floodgate.
02:27In Tanzana Botas,
02:28the flood is also high,
02:29based on what the netizens say.
02:31The water has entered their houses.
02:33It's been a long time since the last flood,
02:35but because it's high tide and there's no stopping the rain,
02:37the water level rose.
02:44Emil, the water level is slowly going down
02:46here in Rizal Avenue Extension.
02:48Earlier, here in Kinaroronan,
02:50the water level was still high,
02:52but now, it's low.
02:53But if the navigation of the floodgate wasn't damaged,
02:56if it was flooded,
02:57the flood wouldn't last this long.
02:59The flood would last until nightfall.
03:02And hopefully,
03:03if the navigation of the floodgate isn't fixed,
03:06there won't be another storm.
03:08Emil?
03:09Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
03:13Thank you, Rafi.
03:14Thank you.
