00:00 A portion of the North Luzon Expressway was also flooded due to the water under a bridge.
00:06 Where?
00:07 And the latest traffic I learned from Dano Team Transit.
00:12 Dano?
00:13 Atom, because of the flood you mentioned, some vehicles stopped and traffic jams entered San Simon Exit.
00:26 [Traffic noise]
00:31 Suddenly, this part of the road was flooded before the floods reached the North Luzon Expressway northbound.
00:38 At a few points, the traffic ran standstill.
00:41 The Sanje, over half a wheel of water or even higher than the overpass of the NLEX near San Simon Exit.
00:50 Enforcers were watching to ensure that vehicles continue to run until San Simon Exit.
00:57 When San Simon Exit entered the Keson Road, the flood reached Hita.
01:05 Some vehicles, like this pickup truck, and some sidecars and motorcycles,
01:09 stopped and had to be pushed to get out of the flood.
01:13 I hope it won't die, but the truck stopped in the middle.
01:17 A truck stopped in the middle.
01:19 Then the truck stopped.
01:21 Yes.
01:22 So, it's a truck.
01:25 This friend also helped to get the money from the office on the other side of the road.
01:31 I know, but we don't know that it's that deep.
01:34 Maybe it's also there.
01:36 According to the NLEX, on Friday, water began to accumulate on the overpass because of the flooding,
01:43 due to the loss of water from dams and continuous rain.
01:47 Half of the road is ruled by water in the middle lane and more than one ruler or up to 15 inches in the outer lane,
01:53 so it's possible that Class 1 vehicles could not pass.
01:56 We thought that we could reroute, but unfortunately, we also learned that the flood level is higher outside of NLEX.
02:06 So what we did, the traffic is continuous.
02:11 If the water level is really high, we will not let the outermost lane pass.
02:19 Yesterday afternoon, the traffic in the north and southbound lane was 10 kilometers.
02:26 There are marshals at the end of choke points to alert motorists,
02:31 aside from the counterflow in the wide area of traffic.
02:34 We will pump out the water, Jared. The water will only be returned if the side of the expressway is not properly blocked.
02:44 At this time, for motorists who are going to and from NLEX to Metro Manila,
02:55 the situation is still the same in the northbound and southbound lanes.
02:58 Although it is a good omen, at this time, we do not feel any rain.
03:05 This is an indication of the gradual improvement of the weather, at least here in our position in San Simon, Pampanga.
03:10 Atom.
03:11 Thank you very much, Danoting Cunco.
