Our Rod Lagusad fills us in with more.
00:22After tropical cyclone Uwan passed through Luzon, on Monday morning, its effects were still felt in Navotas city with strong winds and powerful waves crashing ashore. Before this, at the height of Uwan's onslaught, the city experienced massive storm surges that coincided with high tide.
00:40Sa ating gabi, halos two floors yung taas ng bato ng tubig dagat dito eh. So you can just imagine, ganong kataas, pasok lahat sa communities dito.
00:51The area of Pitonggatang in Barangay Sipak Almasen was submerged in floodwaters, which happened from around 9 in the evening until 1 in the morning.
01:00Ngayon po ito, inabot po namin po. Tamanda po akong ganito, ngayon po kami inabot.
01:04Hanggang dibdib ang tubig namin dito, sa Pitonggatang, sa Sipak Almasen, ngayon lang nangyari.
01:10PTB also found some residents cleaning their homes after being submerged in floodwaters.
01:15Ngayon po lang din noon naranasan yan, halos lahat ang gamit, nawasak lahat ang mga ulan.
01:20Mabilis, mabilis ang Agos, hindi namin na ano-wan. Yung mga gamit po nga namin na, ano-namin na, Agos na, halos lahat o mga Agos, hindi na namin agapan.
01:29According to Navotas Rep. Toby Chanko, the funding for the project was released in tranches.
01:34Meron ditong porsyon na nabangga ng mga barko. Siyempre, dahil nabangga ng mga barko yan, hindi po pwedeng DPWH ang gumawa, pinagawa natin doon sa barko.
01:44Yung tatlo ginawa na nila, yung isa, yung pag-aari ng high-tone na barge na bumanga dyan, hindi pinapagawa.
01:51Secretary Vince Dyson said the DPWH will take charge of repairing it as it's crucial for the safety of residents and will file charges against the owner of the barge.

02:12Then we will use all available quick response funds to finish finally itong mga proyektong to.
02:18He added that once completed, the area will no longer be prone to flooding and water will have no way to enter.
02:24Meanwhile, there is also a need to construct a second gate since the current navigational gate was already overflowing last night due to the high sea level.
02:31At the same time, the government is coordinating with the private sector for dredging and the construction of a road dike in the area.
02:37Dyson explained that multiple solutions are needed to address the problem.
02:41Meanwhile, Mayor Jan Ray-Ciangco clarified that it was not a seawall that collapsed which caused the flooding in Barangay Bagumbayan.
