00:00Meanwhile, after flooding, Divisoria in Manila held a last-minute shopping for school supplies.
00:07That's the first news of EJ Gomez.
00:20This is the scene in Divisoria, Manila when a heavy flood hit last Thursday.
00:26A van from the mall's parking lot was helped to pull it out.
00:31The basement of another mall was also flooded.
00:34The stores of gowns, school supplies, and household items were damaged.
00:38In the stores outside, particularly in Roman Street,
00:41many stores were flooded and were not able to support them,
00:45like some school supplies that were sold by FE.
00:48We didn't expect that we would be able to reach it because it's high up there.
00:53It's like we're short of money.
00:55As in, we're really out of money.
00:57We're in debt again.
01:02It's sad, but we can't do anything.
01:04Father Jimuel's stores were also not saved from the flood.
01:15According to them, there were up to 20 floods on the streets.
01:19When the flood hit, the clearing operation began.
01:22After the flood and rain, heavy traffic returned to Recto Avenue.
01:28It was proven that the market was back in Divisoria.
01:31Shoppers went out and into the malls.
01:34Many also did last-minute shopping for school supplies.
01:38We just bought school supplies because we were about to enter.
01:41We're from Bacoor.
01:43We were flooded.
01:44We only had time to buy school supplies.
01:47School supplies are cheaper here.
01:49This is the first news.
