00:00A flood of rivers that could lead to flooding in a low-lying area is being monitored in Pangasinan.
00:09From the town of Kalasyao, live, Claire Lacanilo of GMA Regional TV, where...
00:20Mel, various government agencies are now alerted to the possible rise of water levels in river systems in Pangasinan province.
00:28Pangasinan province is now at signal number 3.
00:33The entire province is also at red alert status.
00:40The Pangasinan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office is monitoring river systems in Pangasinan...
00:47...in case a flood occurs and there is a low-lying area.
00:50It is expected that the river level will rise due to the flooding caused by Hurricane Christine.
00:55That is why their rescue boats are being prepared.
00:57Other rescue operations and evacuation centers are also equipped.
01:02We should remain prepared and alert. We should not be complacent.
01:06We should remind the parents, especially those who have no children.
01:11We should not force them to play or swim in our rivers.
01:16Twelve low-lying barangays are being monitored by the authorities,
01:20including Lasip, Talibao, Lumbang, Longos, Mancup, Nalsana, Gabon, Poblacion East, Poblacion West, Banawang, Banlag and Songkoy.
01:31The barangay Lasip is one of the first places to be flooded whenever there is a flood.
01:35In the past few days, the depth of the river in the barangay reached Baywang.
01:39Of course, we are also alert. People here are used to it.
01:44We have a boat that goes around our barangays to give them a message that the water level is rising.
01:58Mel, as of now, there is heavy rain and strong winds in the town of Calasio, Pangasinan.
02:04The CDRRMO is monitoring the barangays, especially the low-lying areas.
02:11Thank you very much, Claire Lacanilaw of GMA Regional TV.
