00:00A raft was attached to a barangay in Quezon City.
00:08Someone also used a stick to stab a dog.
00:12Vaughn Aquino was there.
00:16This morning, several residents of Barangay Katipunan, Quezon City,
00:20were shocked when they saw a raft of people in their area.
00:24These residents made a raft,
00:27and attached it to a refrigerator while pulling their other companion.
00:31Pieces of wood were used to make this rescue boat,
00:35which crashed into another resident.
00:38The barangay said that yesterday and earlier this morning,
00:41they were still talking to the residents to evacuate,
00:44but no one listened.
00:46They did not expect that this would happen.
00:49There are many people down there who could not be rescued
00:53because the current of the water is almost reaching the river.
00:58The other families are still there.
01:02It's 2.30 p.m. and the rain is still heavy here in Quezon City,
01:06particularly here in Barangay Katipunan.
01:08We can see the water from the river coming out of a house.
01:13According to the barangay, it is still very difficult to rescue
01:17because until now, there are still residents trapped
01:21in their houses near the river.
01:24Aside from the boats, they also need rescuers
01:27in places where the current is strong.
01:30We reached a woman who is waiting for her husband and son to return,
01:34who tried to rescue their relative in Mangga Street.
01:38Who are you waiting for here?
01:40My husband, my son, and my brother.
01:43My brother's wife.
01:45What happened?
01:47They were trapped near the river, near Mangga Street.
01:51We were also waiting for someone to rescue them.
01:53I contacted them. They said they were in Bubong.
01:56Next to Barangay Katipunan is the San Juan River that is flooding.
02:00Next to Barangay San Antonio, a resident used a boat
02:03to rescue this woman and a dog.
02:06The cars that were parked are also submerged,
02:08but one of them was even chased away by the residents.
02:12Next to Barangay Paraiso, houses are also submerged.
02:15Rescuers in the river also rescued a dog.
