00:00Some of the fish caught by the fishermen in Pangasinan have gone missing.
00:07Live from Kalasheo, Pangasinan, we have the latest from Russell Simorio of GMA Regional TV.
00:13Russell?
00:17Susan, one of the most important sources of rain here in Pangasinan is aquaculture.
00:23The fish growers are now doing their own discarding to save their fish tanks.
00:35Water has almost reached the fish tanks in Banawang, Kalasheo, Pangasinan because of the rain.
00:41According to some fish growers, the amount of water has increased by more than a meter since Wednesday, July 24.
00:49That's why some of the fish caught by the fishermen have gone missing from the fishponds.
00:53The fish caught by us will not go missing.
00:56They will go missing in August.
00:59The net was placed in the fish tanks so that the fish won't go missing.
01:0450,000 pieces of catfish and fish are in the fishponds of Aida's family.
01:10The fish will come out when it rains.
01:13Yes, it's a waste. Only a few are left.
01:15Meanwhile, the MDR-RMO is continuously monitored above the Marusay River.
01:21It is still far from the critical level of seven feet.
01:24Residents in low-lying areas are continuously being warned to prepare for flooding,
01:30especially as the water level in the Marusay River is expected to rise.
01:36If the rain continues in Binggit, there is a possibility that the excess water will still fall on us.
01:50Susan, the rain will continue to fall in the province of Pangasinan.
01:54Residents are worried that if the fishponds are flooded, the water will go straight to their homes.
02:01This morning, the Marusay River reached six feet.
02:05That's why the MDR-RMO is warning that they can carry out evacuations at any time,
02:10especially for residents living in low-lying areas.
02:14That's the latest from Pangasinan. Back to you, Susan.
02:18Thank you very much, Rassel Simorio of GMA Regional TV.
