00:00Authorities in Marikina are continuously on alert, especially since the water level in Marikina River started to rise again earlier this morning.
00:07We have live first news, Fea Pinlan.
00:10Fea, what is the current level?
00:14Ivan, the rain in Marikina has stopped.
00:17But earlier this morning, the water level in Marikina River rose by more than 15 meters.
00:23It was still 15.4 meters, but now it has decreased.
00:28The first alarm is still going off.
00:30That's why some residents who just got home from the evacuation center
00:34are getting ready again in case they need to evacuate.
00:41They are used to it, but they are still prepared.
00:44That's what some residents in Marikina are thinking, especially those who live near Marikina River.
00:49They are used to the fast rise of the water level in the river when the weather is bad.
00:55Imelda and Migs just got home from the evacuation center yesterday.
01:00Now that the first alarm in Marikina River has risen again,
01:03they are getting ready for a possible return to the evacuation center.
01:08I'm nervous and of course, I'm traumatized by the fast rise of the water level yesterday.
01:17Of course, people are tired.
01:19Others are also having a hard time because it's not fun to carry things.
01:25But when it rises, they are used to it.
01:28It's hard for them to look at it because it's comfortable to sleep at this time.
01:33That's why I'm a little worried.
01:35AJ's family is not evacuating if the water level in the river is not dangerous.
01:41He is thinking about how it will affect their livelihood.
01:46It's hard especially here.
01:48The sellers are still taking their goods to their neighbors up here.
01:52They are just leaving the goods that cannot be taken.
01:55When it rains, they will rush to their neighbors' houses
02:00so that the goods will not reach the water level.
02:10Ivan, you asked earlier about the water level in Marikina River.
02:15Now, it's at 14.9 meters.
02:17It means that the first alarm did not go off.
02:21But earlier, Marikina Mayor Marci Teodoro asked ambulances and firetrucks
02:28to go to the usual places in the city to prepare.
02:32And today, there is no asynchronous or face-to-face entrance
02:37to all public and private schools in the city.
02:41That's the first news from Marikina, Bea Pinlac for GMA Integrated News.
