00:00More than 60 residents affected by flooding in Malabon are still staying in evacuation centers.
00:06Let's check what they have to say in the first live news of Bea Pizla.
00:10Bea?
00:15Susan, the barangay Tiniaheros in Malabon has been flooded for four days.
00:20Some residents have already evacuated,
00:22but others are used to it, so they are just staying in their homes.
00:30Water, water, I need water.
00:35That's what Ivie Mee said as her children left yesterday to go to the evacuation center.
00:43Only a few of the more than 60 residents are still staying in Tiniaheros Elementary School in Malabon.
00:49They evacuated because of the heavy rain, high tide, and flooding from the Lamesa Dam.
00:56It's really tiring, especially if you have a lot of small children.
01:01That's what I'm doing.
01:03I said, don't worry about the equipment, just don't worry about my children.
01:07Her children are also studying here.
01:10If they go back to school in Malabon, they will be absent for now
01:13because they left their school supplies at their old house.
01:17The LGU has already announced that there is still no entry for all students
01:21in private and public schools in Malabon today.
01:24Her 89-year-old mother, Vicenta, is just lying on a carton and a tarpaulin.
01:32She said that she was with her child when they were taken on a boat to evacuate.
01:37I have very little income.
01:39I only have three children.
01:41I have a wife and a son.
01:44Of course, I don't know how to swim.
01:47Today, her son will return to their house
01:50to check if the flood has subsided and if they can return safely.
01:54According to the Malabon DRRMO,
01:5725 families or 60 individuals are still in the evacuation center in Malabon.
02:03Here in Tuyuan, Tiniaheros, the rain is just pouring down,
02:07but the flood is still not subsiding.
02:10If we can see here, the flood has already entered the houses in the barangay.
02:16According to one resident of the barangay,
02:18the rain is slow because their pumping station is still not fixed.
02:23According to the Malabon LGU,
02:25the mechanical pump in Barangay Tiniaheros is still being repaired.
02:29Of course, it depends on the livelihood of the residents here,
02:34especially the students who are suspended from classes.
02:40The clothes are wet.
02:42You can't move properly.
02:45You can't find a place to live.
02:47You can't leave your house.
02:55According to some residents here,
02:57their house is in their barangay because it is near Tuliahan River
03:01and their area is just below it.
03:04But they have been living here for a long time.
03:06They say that they are used to living like this.
03:09That's all the news from Malabon, Bayapinlac for GMA Integrated News.
