00:00We now have an update on the situation on the roads in Metro Manila.
00:05We will now interview MMDA Flood Control Information Center Team Leader, Bobot Balbaboco.
00:11Good afternoon, Sir Bobot.
00:13Yes, good afternoon to you too, Ma'am Ma'am, and to our viewers of PDB4.
00:21Sir Bobot, please give us an update on our roads today.
00:25What are the roads that are not passable?
00:27Are there any roads that are flooded?
00:30Yes, Ma'am Ma'am, let's start with this area.
00:35Our Espana-Antipolo is still receiving water up to 15 to 16 inches.
00:47Here in Espana-Antipolo, we also have 24 inches.
00:53This is also passable in all types of vehicles, except for our big vehicles that pass through here.
01:03Here in Espana-Pimargal, we have 1 to 10 inches.
01:09Espana-El De La Fuente, 13 to 14 inches.
01:14The water here in the Manila area is directly flowing down through gutter jeeps, so this is passable.
01:23We also pass through Marikina.
01:28There is no problem in Marikina.
01:32We also have high water levels in the Navotas area.
01:39Here in Mayenna Valley, we have 32 inches.
01:45And in Gobernador Pascual, we have 20 inches in all types of vehicles.
01:52Here in Pasay, the only high road here is the airport road, domestic road,
02:00where we still have 13 inches.
02:05And in TAF, northbound and southbound, 19 inches.
02:09This is passable in light vehicles.
02:12In Quezon City, we have E-Road, Araneta.
02:18This is at 45 inches. This is a chest dip.
02:24This is what we monitor.
02:27In the past 10 to 11 o'clock, we have high tide at 1.42 meters.
02:35What we monitor here is when it rains and we have high tide,
02:42all the water from the sea and the rainwater will overflow.
02:50This is what we report.
02:56Sir, have our flood control teams spread out already?
03:01Because we saw that the drainage is now opening.
03:06It looks like the floods are coming down.
03:10Yes, ma'am.
03:14Just a while ago, first morning, after 5 in the morning,
03:19we mobilized people to come here to our stranded passengers.
03:28This is what they monitor and send to our identified flood-prone areas.
03:39Sir, please remind our motorists or those who will leave their homes at this time.
03:50To our fellow countrymen, to our fellow residents,
03:57please do not attempt to leave your homes.
04:00Especially now that the situation is like this.
04:04You will be stranded because there are areas where it is difficult for vehicles to pass through.
04:15As of now, the water level is still high.
04:24All types of vehicles are stranded.
04:29This is all we can report for now.
04:38Thank you very much for your time,
04:41MMDA Flood Control Information Center Team Leader Bobot Balmaboko.
04:46Take care.
