00:07This is what Bea Pinlac reports.
00:12For two weeks in the face of everyday life,
00:16in Tinajeros, Malabon, the mountain of garbage was piled up on their roads
00:22after the impact of Hurricane Habagat and Super Typhoon Karina.
00:26Our livelihood was affected.
00:29You know, if there's a lot of pollution, that's how it is.
00:32It's inevitable for people to get sick.
00:35The cleanup drive in Barangay Tinajeros was carried out
00:38to speed up the cleaning of the barangay canals
00:41and to remove the piled up garbage.
00:44It is part of the cleaning of the government's new Philippines program
00:48throughout the country.
00:50Most of the garbage or almost all of the garbage
00:54was collected by the water.
00:56All of it came from outside.
00:59It clogged the canals and even their drainages.
01:02According to the MMDA,
01:04almost 100 tons of garbage was collected in Metro Manila
01:09from July 24 to 31.
01:11The Navotas Navigational Gate was also repaired
01:15which they blame for the worse flooding in Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela.
01:22We asked the experts how to compose and raise it
01:28because it can't be raised easily.
01:31It's time to upgrade the outdated drainage system in Malabon
01:36to avoid flooding in the area.
01:38There are a lot of equipments here that are getting old.
01:42A lot should be rehabbed.
01:44A lot should be changed or added.
