00:00It's still hard to get in and out of Caviculan because it's flooded.
00:04Some parts of Maharlika Highway in Quezon were hit by the flood.
00:08This is June Veneracion, June.
00:14Emil, because the road is already dark and the flood is still high,
00:19the local government of Lopez, Quezon issued an order
00:23prohibiting the passage of all types of vehicles,
00:28aside from the rescue vehicles, here in Maharlika Highway.
00:32That's why the standard vehicles of passengers and motorists
00:37are lined up to travel to Bicol.
00:46It looks like a river if you look at it,
00:48but it's part of Maharlika Highway in the town of Lopez, Quezon.
00:52Maybe only big vehicles can pass through the road
00:55because of the sudden rise of the water level due to the rain brought by Hurricane Christine.
01:00We're about to cross, it's deep.
01:02Just keep going until the water level drops.
01:05Some people tried to stop.
01:14Those who want to be safe paid for the raft to avoid drowning and bigger expenses.
01:19But if it's necessary, the government trucks will answer for it.
01:25It's 3 o'clock in the morning when the PNP started to prohibit the light vehicles
01:31that pass through this part of Lopez, Quezon.
01:34Only trucks like that are allowed to pass through.
01:38It's also for the safety of motorists because of the continuous rise of flood in this part of the town.
01:47Because of the flood, there are many stranded motorists and passengers
01:50going and leaving Bicol.
01:52There's a lot of permission, especially for commuters,
01:55who are stuck inside the hot vans.
01:58They can't go out because of the rain.
02:01There's nothing. We're really stuck.
02:04There's no choice.
02:06I'm just going down here.
02:09My clothes are all wet.
02:12Aside from the damage to their plans,
02:14their expenses have increased because of the stranded.
02:19That's why we're on vacation.
02:21We're doing our father's last prayer tomorrow.
02:24If we could go there tomorrow,
02:27we wouldn't be able to make it because we can only reach there on Saturday.
02:30But this situation is an opportunity for those who are discarded,
02:34like those who are rafting.
02:36It seems like the use of this raft is also a discard and an ability to cross the flood.
02:42The two rafts are close.
02:44If we go back, it will hurt again.
02:47Despite the rain and flood,
02:49this man was not able to stop
02:51to deliver the special meal prepared by their customer.
03:01What is that?
03:03Birthday cake.
03:11Emil, even though it's already night,
03:13the authorities are still monitoring the flood here in Maharlika Highway.
03:17Later tonight, between 9pm and 10pm,
03:21it is expected that there will be a high tide that will increase the flood here.
03:26Meanwhile, in the town of Mulanay,
03:28the State of Calamity has already declared
03:31to stop the sudden end of the Christine Flood.
03:34Back to you, Emil.
03:37Thank you very much.
03:39June, Federation.
