00:00The bad weather is still raging in different parts of the country.
00:04The flood reached Negros Occidental while a rope and rice mill collapsed in Sorsogon City.
00:11This is Bernadette Reyes.
00:17These men pushed their motorcycles to cross a ditch in Bagong Bayan, Sultan Kudarat,
00:24which was flooded due to the heavy rain.
00:26The motorcycle was almost hit by the water.
00:33In the town of Senator Ninoy Aquino, Sultan Kudarat,
00:36a culvert was damaged by the heavy rain in the first week of January.
00:42According to the residents, it was damaged by the heavy rain.
00:46Because they had no other way, they tried to fix it.
00:50But the culvert was still damaged.
00:52That's why there are 25 bags of cement that were used to fix it.
00:58In Sorsogon City, a barangay was isolated after a rope fell in the Kawayan River.
01:04Some residents are also trying to cross using mud,
01:08while others were already stuck in the backhoe.
01:11Because the bottom of the rope was already broken,
01:13the water went to a rice mill there.
01:16That's why it also fell.
01:18Their rice mill was also not able to fix it due to the heavy rain.
01:22The water that was supposed to flow here in the Kawayan River
01:26was already diverted due to the temporary ditch that they made.
01:32It was not able to withstand the rain.
01:40The flood reached Cadiz City, Negros Occidental.
01:43According to Negros Occidental PDRRMO,
01:46this is the only barangay in Luzon that was affected by the flood.
01:5115 families are in the evacuation center,
01:54while they are still monitoring the level of water in their area.
01:57More than 1,000 individuals, or more than 600 families,
02:01were affected by the flood in Luzon.
02:03All areas are subsided.
02:05Only the LGU is closely monitoring the water.
02:08I think one of the reasons why is that their creeks and rivers were flooded.

02:23more than 1,000 families, or almost 5,000 individuals, were evacuated.
