00:00More than 100 trucks of garbage are being collected by the MMDA since September 1,
00:05along with the load of stormwater and seawater.
00:09According to the MMDA Flood Control and Sewerage Management Office,
00:13aside from the truck-truck of garbage,
00:15they also collected 45 cubic meters of garbage from Dolomite Beach,
00:20which is still being monitored by the MMDA.
00:23Because of the garbage that is still being collected by the seawater,
00:27in addition to the MMDA,
00:29the roads in Metro Manila are not as flooded as the one in Baguio, Carina,
00:35because of the 24x7 operations of their pumping stations.
00:39They also regularly maintain the waterways,
00:42such as dredging, desilting, cleaning the waterways,
00:47and continuous monitoring of the waterways.
00:50Despite this, the agency still reminds us that
00:53the public's discipline in disposing of garbage will help to mitigate
00:59the severe flooding during the rainy season.
01:03Discipline in disposing of garbage,
01:06not to throw garbage in the waterways,
01:09and in segregating garbage
01:15to reduce the garbage that we will throw in the land.
