00:18In a video taken by a resident in Don Marcelino, Davao Occidental,
00:22you can see the flooding in Barangay Katigbao that resulted in the destruction of a box culvert that served as a road.
00:31The flood happened yesterday, March 31, from 7 to 9 in the morning.
00:37This was after the heavy rain in the said place that still had the Easter Lays.
00:42Some motorists were stranded and were told to look for an alternative route to cross.
00:49According to the Office of the Civil Defense or OCD-11, there were no casualties in the flood.
00:55They will conduct an investigation on the cause of the flood.
00:59Because of the lack of trees in the area, the reason for the flood was due to poverty and the need for reforestation.
01:06One of the OCD-11's studies is the placement of a big tree in the said barangay that could easily be destroyed by the flood.
01:14Even though it's summer, the Easter Lays are still there.
01:19It's still possible for it to rain.
01:22Of course, we should take care of ourselves and our families by listening.
01:30We should listen to the advisory of Pag-asa, the advisory of the provincial disaster officer, the OCD,
01:37the municipal disaster officer and our barangay officials.
01:41Meanwhile, it's possible for motorists to cross the road because the barangay helped them find a way.
01:48The damage from the flood is gone.
01:51The evacuation was not carried out because the flood lasted only a few hours and did not reach the residential area,
01:58which is near the said barangay road.
02:01It's gone ma'am. There's a school bus that was damaged ma'am.
02:06It was hit by the flood in Barangay Talagoton and Balontaya.
02:11The MD-RMO reminded the residents to always listen to the advisories from their offices to ensure the safety of everyone.
