00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:05What time is it now that the typhoon Julian will enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility again?
00:12But there is a separate weather system that caused floods in Mindanao.
00:16In some places, the water is overflowing, so many people were evacuated and there are stranded.
00:23Dano Tingcunco is on the scene.
00:25Hello!
00:27There are a lot of fish.
00:28Dato Abdulla Sanky, from Maguindanao del Sur, is on the scene.
00:32There was a heavy downpour yesterday.
00:36Some residents drowned in the flood.
00:38Oh, please don't.
00:40But some vehicles, especially those going to Potabato City and Isulan Sultan Kudrat,
00:45couldn't handle the high tide, so they were stranded.
00:49In the town of Ampatuan, a large part of Barangay Saniag was flooded.
00:54According to locals, the rain didn't stop yesterday,
00:57so the water level rose in the ditches and reached their houses and rice fields.
01:02That area is Talungan and the rice fields.
01:05It's like you can't see anything at this moment.
01:08There is a team on the National Highway that is picking up stranded people.
01:16In Barangay Kamasi, residents had to be evacuated because of the high tide.
01:20The water level gradually rose in the area this morning.
01:24The PDRRMO in Maguindanao del Sur conducted an investigation
01:28in Pinsalang Iniwan regarding the heavy downpour and flood in the town of Ampatuan.
01:32The most affected are the Barangay Saniag, Kauran and Malatimon.
01:36More than 120 families had to be evacuated in those areas.
01:40Another family was trapped in their house and had to be evacuated
01:44because the flood reached the roof of their house.
01:49Aside from Maguindanao, several houses in Digo City, Davao del Sur were also flooded.
01:53The water level rose on Saturday because of the heavy downpour.
01:56This family was forced to leave their house even though it was already night.
02:04According to the locals,
02:05We had an active Easter lease yesterday over the Mindanao area
02:11and that's what caused the rain in the eastern and southern portion of Mindanao.
02:18So it's not related to the flood.
02:21It's a better time than expected for the flood today and in the coming days
02:25but the possibility of thunderstorms is still there.
