Transcript
00:00 In Pampanga, the municipality of Masantol is appealing to build a dam to counter the flood.
00:07 Other affected areas in the province will find out live in a speech by Joseph Moro.
00:12 Joseph.
00:13 Emil, even though it's not raining too much here in Makabebe, Pampanga,
00:20 there are still many areas that are flooded,
00:24 especially in the neighboring town of Masantol where we came from.
00:29 And there, Emil, all of their 26 barangays are flooded.
00:37 Because of the flood, it's hard to say where the Pampanga River ends and the land starts in the municipality of Masantol, Pampanga.
00:49 The residents of Fishport in Barangay Bebe Anak are also flooded.
00:53 But life goes on.
00:55 Celine, the rice fields are still open.
00:57 It's necessary for us to plant rice.
01:00 The flood almost stopped before the flood came.
01:05 If you don't have a house, you're not from Pampanga, you're from Masantol.
01:08 In the opposite of Purok Dalakitan, next to the Pampanga River, people are already building their houses.
01:13 No house is not submerged in the flood.
01:16 There's no rain at this time, but there's a high tide problem here in the Pampanga River.
01:21 That's why the water is still high in the river that enters the houses.
01:27 The very center of Masantol is also submerged.
01:31 The church is not safe from the flood.
01:34 At present, the water level is still below my knee.
01:39 But the people here told us that when the high tide comes, the water level will rise here.
01:45 The two levels of water will reach here in the next few days.
01:51 The Risk Reduction Management Office Center is also in the middle of the river.
01:55 But the help of the municipality and the capitol will continue to provide
01:59 for the 20,000 families affected by the flood.
02:02 All 26 barangays are submerged in the water
02:05 because the water level of the higher areas is low.
02:11 There's a delay in the water level in our area.
02:15 After the high tide, the water level in Taas, San Fernando, and Makabebe will be low.
02:23 They need a long-term solution like the Dike.
02:28 We cannot rely on the high tide.
02:32 We cannot rely on the construction of check gates.
02:36 I'm calling on our national agencies.
02:40 If we only have a local budget, we cannot afford it.
02:43 Emil, we are experiencing a little bit of a disaster here in Makabebe, Pampanga.
02:52 Earlier this afternoon, the local government provided relief goods to the affected residents.
02:58 According to the province of Pampanga,
03:02 more than 200 barangays are now flooded.
03:07 Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
