00:00The value of Super Baguiong Karina and Habagat in agriculture and infrastructure in Pangasinan is almost Php 100 million.
00:09And live from Dagupan City, we are joined live by Claire La Carinao of GMA Digital TV. Claire?
00:20Yes, Connie, there are still strong rains and floods in some parts of Dagupan City, even in some nearby towns.
00:31On top of the flood, on the second floor of their house,
00:35Lola Milagros and her grandchildren are staying in Barangay Talibao in Calasio, Pangasinan.
00:40And to go out, they continue on the road to Bobong.
00:44The flood is deep, so we cannot go out. We are here on top, we are cooking here on top.
00:53Are they used to it?
00:54Not only this year, there will be a house like this for a month.
00:59The Marusay-Sinucalan River, which flows through Calasio and the town of Santa Barbara,
01:05is at 7 feet deep as of 9 a.m. and is almost 8.5 feet critical level.
01:12The Santa Barbara MDRRMO has already removed the flood-stricken areas, such as the water lilies,
01:18which came from other towns.
01:21The water level is high. It was heavy last night.
01:24So I don't know how long the water level dropped from there.
01:31We might be affected.
01:33Payas Creek also flooded and flooded up to Binti in Barangay Anolid of Mangaldan, Pangasinan.
01:39The residents living near Bukirin and Creek were also affected.
01:42Up to here in Tuhon, my clothes are all wet.
01:46This is probably the reason why the water can't flow fast to the Sinucalan River
01:55because of the emburnal that was placed. It's a bit scary.
02:00The riverside of Barangay Poblacion Lingay in Pangasinan has been flooded for two days already.
02:05That's why the residents are using chairs.
02:08It's hard. We are afraid that the water will come. You won't be able to sleep.
02:14It's hard, especially if you have to cook.
02:17Many people were evacuated to Dagupan City and are living in modular tents.
02:24It's bad because I can't work in the parlour.
02:28Of course, it's hard for my children.
02:30Others, such as Jerus and her seven-month-old daughter Sanggola, fled here before the house was flooded.
02:37Aside from Dagupan, seven towns in Pangasinan were also affected by the flood.
02:42The low-lying areas near the rivers were flooded.
02:48Almost Php 100 million was spent in bad times in the agriculture and infrastructure of the province.
03:00Connie, the people of City Hall in the barangay are still moving around,
03:05like here in Barangay Maluod, Dagupan City, where 12 families have already fled.
03:11Thank you very much, Claire Lakanilaw of GMA Regional TV.
