00:00Some of the residents of Las Piñas were evacuated because of the heavy rain that hit Raffy Fiba live.
00:08Raffy.
00:13Emil, at this time, the rain is still heavy here in Kinaroroonan.
00:16That's why since we arrived here, the rain is still increasing here in Kinaroroonan.
00:21That's why some residents of this barangay were evacuated.
00:25And the motorists are just walking here in the rain
00:28because the public vehicles can no longer handle the heavy rain here.
00:36The main reason for the heavy rain on this main road is the increase in the level of the Longos River
00:40because of the continuous rain.
00:42Because of this, many motorists are stranded.
00:44Many of them were just walking to get to Sapote Junction.
00:49There are motorists who are already on their way,
00:51but even if the engine is dead, it won't run anymore.
00:54You don't know that it's deep?
00:55No, I was told that it's deep.
00:58Why did you continue?
00:59I was told that it's deep, so I continued.
01:04This is my first time experiencing this,
01:06because I just started working until 5 p.m.
01:11But it's like this.
01:14The water level is too high on the side of the river.
01:18You were just walking?
01:19Yes.
01:20Because of the continuous rain, the water level here is increasing.
01:24The barangay officials in Sapote Junction
01:26are urging the barangay residents who are in the lower part of their area to evacuate now.
01:31The barangay also released their rescue boats for the residents who were asked to evacuate.
01:36You can see in the video that from the top of the river,
01:39the water level has reached the mouth of some parts of the barangay.
01:42The water level is also high,
01:44especially for those who are forced to walk on the river.
01:47Good evening, barangay residents.
01:50We are here now.
01:54The water level is high.
01:56It's already high.
01:58I'm carrying a bucket.
02:01Emil, again, the barangay officials are urging you to listen to the news and their warnings,
02:06because from the time we arrived here,
02:08the water level has already risen from 2 to 3 feet.
02:11And if the rain continues like this,
02:13it's possible that the water level will rise in the next few hours.
02:17That's the latest from the flooded and flooded Sapote Junction.
02:21Emil?
02:22Thank you very much, Rafi Ittima.
