00:00 The governor of Bulacan blames the water from Ipo and Bustos Dam for flooding in the province.

00:06 But the local authorities say that the water volume did not come from the dams.

00:10 Instead, it came from the rain that fell on the past few days in Bulacan, Pampanga and Nueva Ecija,

00:16 which is equivalent to more than a million Olympic-sized swimming pools.

00:20 Lei Alvis has a report.

00:24 A week of flooding in Apalit, Pampanga, has left some residents in shock.

00:30 In the past few years, only two barangays have been flooded in Apalit,

00:35 including Barangay Paligi.

00:38 But now, 11 out of 12 barangays have been flooded.

00:42 The last time this happened was during the Ondoy Parau flood.

00:49 In the town of San Simon, sandbags were placed to stop the flood.

00:54 According to the NLEX, they also pumped the sandbags,

00:58 so the water slowly decreased due to the flood, alipunga and leptospirosis.

01:04 It's very bad. It's not stopping. It's not a medicine.

01:08 The barangay called for medicine.

01:10 For example, we cannot avoid flooding.

01:15 We need to go home and dry our clothes.

01:19 Some people say that they need to rest,

01:22 they need to take a bath, they cannot take a bath right away.

01:26 Until this afternoon, 10 more barangays in Bulacan were flooded.

01:30 Governor Daniel Fernando blames the wide flooding in the province

01:34 for the water from Ipo and Bustos Dam.

01:38 He also said that the Bustos Dam's Gate 5 was also damaged.

01:40 What if something suddenly came?

01:42 It's even worse. It's scary because when the gates opened, the whole area was submerged.

01:48 Even if it's not damaged, it cannot stop the water that is coming.

01:54 We should ask if the drainage is okay.

01:57 According to the NLEX, the water from Ipo and Bustos Dam should be removed.

02:02 It's already flooding.

02:04 The water inside the reservoir is getting heavier.

02:09 If it's damaged, we will have more problems.

02:13 The water released from the two dams from July 27 to August 4

02:18 can fill more than 11,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

02:22 But the large volume of rain in Bulacan did not come from the Bustos Dam,

02:27 but from the heavy rain.

02:29 That much can fill more than 1 million Olympic-sized swimming pools,

02:33 far from the volume released by the dam.

02:36 That's a problem in Bulacan or Pampanga, where the catch basin is lower,

02:40 so the water is leaking.

02:42 The long-term solution of the NIA in Baja, Bulacan is to build a new dam.

02:47 Leigh Alviz reports for Jime Integrated News.
