00:00 Some residents of Cebu City were flooded and tied under a rope in the middle of a heavy rain.

00:10 The rescue efforts were stopped by Jessie Atienza of PTV Cebu.

00:15 On Tuesday afternoon, the water was flowing here in the river.

00:22 Three barangays were involved in responding to the rescue teams of the City of Cebu.

00:28 After being alarmed, some people were tied under a rope.

00:32 A tugboat was slowly lowered to rescue the victims.

00:37 The rain was heavy yesterday, sir. It reached the bridge.

00:42 Only to find out, sir, that under the bridge, they made a hole, sir, where there's space.

00:51 After almost two hours of rescue operation, eight victims were rescued.

00:57 The authorities were challenged by the darkness of the night and the water flowing in the river.

01:02 We placed a line of rope where the water is flowing.

01:09 So that in case there's a victim, he can hold on to it and we can save him.

01:14 So the tugboat, sir, that we brought with us to the CDRRMO,

01:18 we placed two ropes on the other side so that it can sweep down.

01:23 So that our rescuers can ride and see the people on the bridge.

01:27 Because it's just flowing through the beams, sir.

01:29 While the rain continues here in the City of Cebu,

01:32 the monitoring that the rescue teams are doing in places like this

01:37 where the flood could be affected is still ongoing.

01:40 They are calling on the public to listen to the rescue teams' warnings

01:44 if they need to evacuate.

01:46 From PTV Cebu, Jesse Atienza, for the nation.
