00:18The length of E. Rodriguez Senior Avenue in Quezon City shrank due to the strong and almost non-stop rain yesterday.
00:27The first floor of the houses was flooded.
00:31That's why the residents were quickly evacuated.
00:34Around the second floor, we evacuated them.
00:38The water level rose very fast.
00:41We took the others inside their house.
00:45What was almost coming out was their head.
00:50The roof of their head was already stuck.
00:54Most of the people rescued were families living near the Umapau River.
00:59There were children, pregnant women, PWD, and elderly people.
01:06Most of them needed to be taken to the hospital.
01:11The others we rescued were already stuck in the roof of their heads.
01:21This kid was wrapped in plastic and was taken in a rescue boat while it was raining.
01:27The affected residents don't know how they will recover from the effects of the storm.
01:32The clothing store that Jamil works at was not saved from the flood.
01:36It's very sad.
01:38There are a lot of things that can't be sold.
01:43It was rejected.
01:45It's hard because it's very tiring.
01:47We felt fear and trauma.
