00:00Some parts of EDSA's parking lot were damaged due to flooding.
00:04Some of the stranded were expected to go to work.
00:08But now, even if they go home, they will have a hard time driving.
00:11We will bring to you the update of Mela Lesmora live. Mela?
00:17Joshua, the MMVA is continuing to patrol the different parts of Metro Manila,
00:22especially here in EDSA, where some parts
00:26are really experiencing heavy traffic due to flooding.
00:32Around our news team earlier this morning,
00:35it was raining continuously,
00:39although sometimes it weakens and sometimes it strengthens.
00:42Here in the part of EDSA Muñoz Northbound in Quezon City,
00:47earlier, there was no movement of vehicles.
00:50Because the flood was high,
00:51fortunately, the motorists were not able to talk.
00:55Here in Overpass Muñoz, we talked to some people
00:59that even if they go home because there is no entry to work and school,
01:03they will not be able to leave because there are no vehicles.
01:06Some riders are also affected by the flood because they cannot travel.
01:11The MMVA continues to monitor the situation.
01:15They remind motorists to be careful.
01:19The MMVA was the first to suspend the number coding scheme today.
01:24You can also visit the social media pages of the MMVA
01:27for their live updates on the different roads in Metro Manila.
01:32Joshua, at this point, we are near a mall in Quezon City.
01:37Fortunately, they allowed us to take shelter here
01:41because the rain was really heavy earlier.
01:44The good news, Joshua, is that the rain has calmed down a bit,
01:49but it is still raining.
01:50It's hard, Joshua.
01:51Even if the rain calms down a bit, the rain continues.
01:54It doesn't stop.
01:55It's heavy, it's weak, but the rain continues.
01:58Here, as you can see behind me,
02:00the traffic situation is good right now.
02:04But if you go a little further northbound,
02:08you can really see the bumper to bumper of the vehicles.
02:12Joshua?
02:13Yes, you mentioned the traffic situation.
02:16But this rain is really one of the main reasons why there is traffic in EDSA.
02:22And if possible, can our countrymen take alternative routes?
02:30Joshua, at this point,
02:31when we were just going around earlier,
02:34most of EDSA was already getting flooded.
02:38Because earlier, even in Quezon,
02:40we saw gutter-dipped floods.
02:43The good news now is that it's already getting flooded.
02:46As for the alternative routes, Joshua,
02:48what the MMDA is saying is,
02:50they are still sticking to their social media pages.
02:53Because blow by blow,
02:54they are updating where the roads are flooded.
02:58Joshua, the weather is different.
03:00Earlier, there were floods, but now it's flooding.
03:03And because the rain continues,
03:05we will continue to monitor if there are still places
03:08or areas that will be flooded at this point.
03:11Joshua?
03:13All right. Take care.
03:14Thank you very much, Mela.
03:15Les Moras.
