00:00Let's go around Manila, where some children and seniors were injured in the flood.
00:06But some military trucks that will also be rescued, got stuck.
00:10Standing by, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:12Sandra?
00:17Yes, Atom. Here in the city of Manila, several places were flooded.
00:21And there are also places in the city that residents need to evacuate,
00:26including Parola, Baseco, Isla Puting Bato, and the one I went to, Dangka, here in Manila.
00:36Together with the Manila LGU Rescue Team and the PNP,
00:40we entered Barangay 598 in Dangka, Old Santa Mesa, in Manila.
00:46Among those rescued were the Lienzo family with a senior citizen and three children.
00:52According to the family, between 6 to 7 in the morning,
00:55water entered their house from the flooded San Juan River, which is just near them.
01:02They were the first to save their belongings in the first floor of their house,
01:07so they were not able to leave immediately.
01:10And because their ground floor collapsed, they were not able to leave the house,
01:14so they needed rescue.
01:16Some vehicles were not able to be saved from the flood,
01:20while others were able to be saved.
01:28We noticed that the rain and water were pouring down from the house,
01:33so we decided to evacuate them as soon as they arrived.
01:38In this area, it's hard to talk to the residents here in Dangka,
01:45that's why we took a detour while it's still bright.
01:49As we said, it's hard for us to rescue them at night.
01:54I turned off the lights first.
01:56We talked to the mayor to turn off the lights,
01:59so that we won't have a big problem here.
02:07We also tried to go to F. Blumentritt in Barangay Cabayanan, San Juan City,
02:13but we were not able to go there because the water was so deep,
02:18and we needed to rescue some residents.
02:22In Santa Mesa, Manila, we were able to rescue some residents
02:27from the second floor of their house.
02:30A military truck was also able to rescue them,
02:34but it collapsed because the water was so deep.
02:39At the moment, we are at Araneta Avenue,
02:44which is located near Aurora.
02:46As you can see, it's like a river.
02:49According to the residents here,
02:51they will have to wait a few more hours for the water to come down.
02:55Some of them are already using makeshift rafts to go home.
03:02According to the Manila LGU,
03:05more than 13,000 people or 2,700 families
03:10are in different evacuation centers here in Manila.
03:16Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
