00:00More than 10,000 people in Cavite have been affected by the widespread flooding.
00:07Help is the continuous appeal of many.
00:10Especially, there is a family who will share a handful of rice.
00:15From Kawit, live on TUTUK, Mackie Pulido.
00:19Mackie?
00:20The flood has already reached many places here in Cavite City since this morning, except for a few places.
00:35At the height of August, the water was up to 6 o'clock last night.
00:39This minibus almost drowned in Noveleta, Cavite.
00:43Ma'am, there was a tsunami.
00:46Fortunately, Jimmy was able to save the minibus, so it was able to go to a safe place.
00:51His 20 passengers were there.
00:53I pushed it to the side, then I tied it.
00:57Now, when the rope was tied, it went back, hit the post, and fell down.
01:03The heavy rain also left thick puddles, so police in Noveleta were worried about cleaning.
01:09Also because of the heavy rain, many tricycles were washed away.
01:14Even Ms. Nilda's shops were also washed away.
01:19I pray that at least half of what I lost will be recovered.
01:26At least half of what I lost.
01:29Mansueto's recovery is also a big challenge, because his machine was damaged in the flood.
01:36There will be a review.
01:39There will be a budget.
01:42Because of the current situation, there is no budget.
01:46Even though it's sunny, there are still places that are still flooded in some parts of Kawit, Noveleta, and Cavite City.
01:53There is still water on the highway from Bacoor to Noveleta, but cars are already passing by.
01:59This is the situation in the town of Kawit.
02:01Kawit was flooded at 8 a.m. this morning, but now it's flooded.
02:05Many residents are still walking.
02:08It's lower now because last night, there were parts where the water level was up to the tip of the nose.
02:15This is one of the roads here in Kawit, Cavite, where even though the sun has set and the rain has stopped,
02:22there is still flooding.
02:24So some of the residents we talked to are really having a hard time cleaning the house.
02:31Erica is one of them who is working hard to clean the water inside their house.
02:36We need to remove the water when it dries.
02:40We need to remove the white part.
02:43Of course, we need to soak it.
02:46If there is someone who can provide relief goods, it would be a big help to get through the next few days.
02:51But Ms. Amelia said that if there is no one to provide help, they will starve.
02:57She has not been able to find a job as a barker.
02:59When we talked to her, she held a handful of rice that was helped by a friend.
03:04They will share this with her grandchildren.
03:08I have no income.
03:10What help do you need?
03:11What my grandchildren need is food and clothes.
03:18The province of Cavite is now in a state of calamity.
03:21In total, there are more than 13,000 affected residents in the province.
03:25And there are 78 houses and infrastructure that were damaged.
03:29According to the Provincial Public Information Office, relief goods are still being provided.
03:34Individuals who need additional help are still being studied.
03:42In the report of Cavite PDRRMO,
03:45one person was rescued from drowning in the town of Alfonso, while another was lost in Tagaytay.
03:52Mel?
03:53Thank you very much, Macky Pulido.
