00:00Some places in Malabon were flooded to the brim, even though it didn't rain heavily.
00:05A tide control gate was also damaged due to the high water price.
00:09The floodgate in Labotas was also damaged.
00:11Darlene Cai was there.
00:21The water level was this high outside of Kailanan Creek in Barangay Dampalit, Malabon yesterday morning
00:26after the Dampalit Tide Control Gate was damaged in the middle of August.
00:30It was damaged and there was a lot of garbage.
00:33The flood hit Barangay Dampalit and nearby areas.
00:36In Naremi's house, only a little water is left from the heavy rain yesterday.
00:42I was surprised and scared because the water level was rising.
00:47I asked myself, where will I go?
00:50I said, I won't leave.
00:52Of course, there are no people here.
00:54Barangay Dampalit was also shocked by the sudden flooding because the rain wasn't heavy.
01:00We were panicked.
01:02The floodgate was damaged suddenly.
01:07The floodgate was old, so we couldn't control the high tide, which was accompanied by heavy water in the creek.
01:13Labotas Navigational Gate was also damaged.
01:16That's one of the reasons why all the high tide prices were directed to us.
01:21That's why our floodgate was damaged.
01:23It was said that the water reached some parts of Dampalit.
01:27That's why the local government suspended all classes from yesterday to today.
01:32These sheet piles were immediately placed in Barangay Dampalit as a temporary solution.
01:37There is still a little water leaking, but this is already a big thing to stop the water from leaking from the creek.
01:45The MMDA also responded to the situation.
01:48The order is to remove the floodgate first,
01:51then have our ship engineer in Pasig check up the damage.
02:01It is possible that the floodgate in Dampalit will be completed by next Sunday.
02:06What they will do is, they will fabricate the materials for the damaged floodgate.
02:11After that, they will pull out the damaged part.
02:17They will replace the damaged part and repair the damaged part.
02:20Meanwhile, the water reached almost all parts of Malabon.
02:24That's why it is possible that the floodgate will be completed by tomorrow.
