00:52Only one house of Ms. Glenly in 1,000 households in Cavite is affected by heavy flooding.

00:59Inside their house, up to 20 houses are flooded.

01:03Even their bathroom is submerged.

01:05That's why their equipment has been lifted so that it won't get wet.

01:09If it rains a little bit, it will flood immediately.

01:12It's low here.

01:16In Barangay Panapaan Uno, the flood level is double.

01:20Except for the water that entered their house,

01:23they can't get out of their house to make a living.

01:26We are selling rice husks.

01:28We can't sell rice husks because it's hard to get out.

01:33Our bags are heavy.

01:35We don't have money.

01:39I hope we can get rice.

01:44In the middle of the heavy rain here in Bacoor,

01:47we passed by Mang Tirso,

01:49who has a bag while walking in the heavy rain.

01:52When we asked him,

01:54he was begging for food for his five children who were left in their house.

01:59I asked him if he was not afraid of the heavy rain.

02:03His answer was,

02:04I'm afraid. I have a wound but we can't eat.

02:08My feet are broken.

02:11We don't have rice.

02:15We don't have rice.

02:17My commander is wearing slippers.

02:20I don't have slippers.

02:22I don't have anything to do. My children need to eat.

02:24More than 2,000 residents have been evacuated

02:27from 21 evacuation centers in Bacoor

02:29while the deployment of volunteer rescue units continues

02:33to evacuate the residents in need of help.

02:36We will declare that Bacoor is under state of calamity

02:41because many people in our barangay,

02:43particularly in District 1, are being flooded.

02:46Some people still don't want to go to our evacuation center.
