Transcript
00:00 There's no more storm but the flood is still not reaching the San Simon area in Pampanga.
00:05 The effect of that is the fear of traffic.
00:08 And JP Soriano is live there.
00:11 JP.
00:12 Oh my! Ivan Pia, we are here now in one part of San Simon in the province of Pampanga
00:19 and in another place, a large part of Metro Manila.
00:22 And on the other side, there's no more rain.
00:24 Flood is still remaining in some parts and major roads here.
00:28 And if you are a motorist from Metro Manila and you are going to San Simon,
00:33 the exit will take up to 3 to 4 hours because of the flood in some parts of Enlex.
00:39 From Quezon City, GMA Integrated News traveled to North Luzon Expressway in San Simon, Pampanga.
00:50 After passing Bukawe Exit in Enlex Northbound, Calvaryon Traffic started.
00:57 Traffic took up to 3 hours until we reached the San Simon Exit Northbound.
01:03 Here, the traffic in Enlex increased and motorists even stopped last night.
01:10 Flood water is flowing in one part of Enlex under Tulaok Overpass
01:15 where Enlex traffic management staff are located.
01:20 Some residents walked beside Enlex and pushed the flood.
01:25 According to Enlex management, these water pumps were installed
01:29 to suck up the water from the rain that was accompanied by high tide.
01:35 In Enlex Southbound, the vehicles are still not moving.
01:40 In Kabuan, the trip from Quezon City to San Simon Exit took up to 4 hours.
01:46 At that time, the flood can reach if it will pass through T-Flex.
01:51 Randy was just from Balagtas, Bulacan but it took him several hours to reach San Simon Exit.
01:59 If it's a regular trip, it's just half an hour.
02:03 But you reached for 2 hours more.
02:05 But Calvaryon is still waiting for motorists from Enlex and the direction of Apalit or Minalin in Pampanga and other towns in Bulacan.
02:15 The flood that reached Baywang in the CDCP area, which is a part of the main road in Barangay Santa Monica, San Simon.
02:22 The Chinese national who was there, removed the water from his SUV that he was pushing in the flood.
02:29 Because I experienced this kind of road, that's why I know my car can go through but I didn't expect the water to go inside.
02:37 On top of the water and the strong waves that hit the truck, some motorcyclists were driven to the sidecar.
02:45 According to some residents, it's been a week since the flood arrived even though there was no storm.
02:50 There were many people who were hit by the waves.
02:55 Some fell off the boat because of the strong waves.
03:03 Ivan Pian, we saw some small cars that were hit by the waves and are still hit by the waves on this side.
03:11 The problem is that there is no other way if you go out and go to some towns in Pampanga and Enlex.
03:19 We can see some free truck drivers and we can also see some tricycles that are forced to go through.
03:28 Enlex is advising motorcyclists who are still coming from Manila to be careful if you are going to San Simon Exit because the flood is still there.
03:41 That's the latest. Let's go back to Ivan and Pian.
03:44 JP, yesterday you were in Enlex and Pampanga. Did you see any improvement?
03:51 What did Enlex's management say? When will it be like that?
03:57 If there is an improvement in the water level, it will be lower than last night.
04:02 We saw some motorcyclists and Enlex drivers advising us that there was water last night but when we went there, there was no water.
04:13 But still, the portion under the overpass, the water is still deep.
04:19 It means that the vehicles can't go through easily.
04:22 That's the reason for the slowdown of the traffic.
04:25 They are continuously pumping water.
04:28 Enlex's management said that they will add additional pumps so that the water can be pumped.
04:33 The problem here is that the water is still flowing in nearby towns in Pampanga and nearby towns in Bulacan.
04:45 Ivan, I hope they will be quick and that there will be more people who will be perished there.
04:48 Be careful and thank you very much, JP Soriano.
