00:00In the midst of a heavy rain and flood this Wednesday,
00:03some provinces are still experiencing it.
00:06They can't help but compare the effects of Hurricane Karina
00:10and Hurricane Ondoy in 2009.
00:14This is the explanation of Pag-Asa in the report of Vona Kino.
00:20On the morning of May 8, in Navotas River,
00:23Ernesto Oprinario Jr.'s boat,
00:26According to his father,
00:27Ernesto and his friend jumped into the river
00:30to pray for salvation.
00:32His son drowned.
00:33His friend was saved.
00:35All he said was,
00:37Pa,
00:38I'm going out.
00:40That's all.
00:41Yeah.
00:42I'm going out.
00:42I have nothing to do.
00:43It hurts me.
00:45In Kalumpit, Bulacan, the flood is still not subsiding.
00:48This is the effect of the heavy rain accompanied by high tide
00:51and the loss of water in Ipo and Bustos Dam.
00:54Some have no choice but to use boats.
00:56Some use saloon tractors.
00:59More than 127,000 residents are affected.
01:04Meanwhile, President Bongbong Marcos is in Mauban, Quezon.
01:07In a situation briefing,
01:08he prepared the local governments
01:11because this is just the beginning of the floods this year.
01:15The President also conducted an aerial inspection in Rizal Province.
01:19The flood did not bring bad weather this Wednesday.
01:24It is inevitable for many to compare this to a flood in Ondoy.
01:28A sign of hope,
01:29within six hours,
01:31there were still more floods in Ondoy
01:33that reached 300 millimeters
01:35compared to 207 millimeters
01:37of the combined floods of Karina and Habagat.
01:40However, the floods of Habagat lasted for up to 18 hours this Wednesday,
01:45so it almost equaled the floods in Ondoy.
01:48It is more accurate to compare Karina and Habagat this Wednesday
01:52to the floods in Habagat in 2012
01:53compared to the floods in Ondoy in 2009.
01:56Karina, in around 18 hours,
01:59produced around 300 plus millimeters of rain
02:03just like what happened in Habagat in 2012.
02:06Ondoy, in a span of six hours,
02:08produced 300 millimeters of rain.
02:12So, it happened in a short amount of time
02:14and the amount produced was very high.
