00:00 To those who are drowning, be careful because of the diseases you may get.
00:05 A case of leptospirosis has risen, said the health department.
00:10 Live on TV, Macky Pulido. Macky.
00:14 It's possible that this part of MacArthur Highway is in the barangay of Dalandanan.
00:23 But there is a road near the Valenzuela City Hospital that is not yet accessible by vehicles because the water level is still reaching 2 feet.
00:34 More than 1,000 people were evacuated from 13 evacuation centers in Valenzuela City.
00:44 To be sure, the city hall is asking them to stay.
00:48 But Kendy Garubin, even if he wants to go home, he can't.
00:52 The second floor of their house collapsed yesterday.
00:56 One by one, like yesterday, I bought a sledgehammer.
01:02 I worked for a few days. That's what I bought.
01:06 In MacArthur Highway, there is a part of Barangay Dalandana where the water level is reaching 10 feet.
01:12 That's why the traffic flow is slow. It's harder for those who need to walk.
01:17 It's hard for them to know what to step on while the traffic is being swept by the cars.
01:23 If you get sick, you might slip.
01:27 There are canals there, so there might be a hole.
01:33 The residents here say that the water level in this part of MacArthur Highway is automatic.
01:38 The flood is longer because of the heavy rain that is almost continuous.
01:45 There is also flood in the nearby roads.
01:48 The deepest level is 24-foot-deep in G. Lazaro Street,
01:53 which is the way to reach Valenzuela City Hospital.
01:56 Only pedicabs are allowed.
01:58 The cost of a single head is P50.
02:00 That's why Jonah was injured when he was brought to the emergency room by his father due to his chest pain.
02:05 I'm afraid that my father will slip because it's hard for him to walk.
02:10 There are also businesses that are struggling.
02:13 Like this restaurant that was flooded by a single customer.
02:18 Our store is not doing well. We might close down.
02:23 The flood in MacArthur Highway was caused by the drainage due to the construction of the North-South Commuter Railway,
02:29 according to City Hall.
02:31 The flood in G. Lazaro is almost solved.
02:35 By now, 60 percent already is done.
02:37 It's a big improvement because the drainage is wide and the roads are being elevated.
02:43 In the middle of the flood in each country,
02:46 the number of leptospirosis in the country is still worried to be added.
02:50 It's already more than 2,000 before the Egay and Falcon typhoon.
02:54 The last report of the Department of Health or DOH increased by 42 percent compared to the first two weeks.
03:00 The number of leptospirosis deaths is already 225.

03:08 Back here in Valenzuela City, Emil,
03:11 we saw the free rides all day long to reach the flooded areas.
03:16 The drop-off and pickup points of the free rides were posted on the Facebook page of Valenzuela City LGU.
03:25 Emil?
03:26 Thank you very much.
03:27 Maki Pulido.
