00:00According to Marikina City Mayor Marcy Teodoro, the barges came from Barangay Barangka.

00:2820 crews were rescued, according to Pasig CDRRMO.

00:33The barges were also closed to the motorists.

00:38The staff of the UERM Medical Center helped in carrying the barges.

00:43The first floor of the hospital was already flooded, including the emergency room.

00:49The ambulance was also not used because it was already flooded.

00:53For now, the staff of the other parts of the hospital are staying on the second floor.

01:02Because of the severe effect of the flood that was intensified by the storm,

01:07several places in the country, including Metro Manila, were submerged in a state of calamity.

01:13President Marcos' order to the government agencies is to focus on those affected by the flood.

01:19In Quezon City, more than 14,000 families were rescued,

01:23including those who are now staying in an evacuation center in Katipunan.

01:28Vonna Kino reports.

01:34The San Antonio Elementary School's evacuation center in Barangay Katipunan, Quezon City,

01:38was flooded up to the point where it was flooded.

01:41Even though the flood reached Adolas Island last night,

01:44the evacuation center's electricity was still not turned on.

01:48That's why the evacuees were waiting in the dark.

01:51According to some of the evacuees, some of them are living by the river.

01:55Their mister is the one who is guarding the roof of their houses to guard their belongings.

02:00They will just go home once the flood subsides.

02:03But for now, it's a test.

02:05The court also read where the evacuees' tents were first placed.

02:10That's why they were moved to the stage and to the second floor classrooms.

02:15From Quezon City, Vonna Kino reporting for GMA Integrated News.

02:21A rescue boat capsized while doing rescue operations in Marikina City.

02:27The situation there in the live report of Bea Pinlak.

02:30Bea?

02:32Sandra was rescued.

02:34She was the one who saw the 14 people who were rescued by the capsized rescue boat

02:39in Barangay San Tonino, Marikina, before 8 p.m.

02:44Marikina Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office confirmed that

02:48all 8 residents were rescued.

02:51They capsized after the rescue boat reached the post of the street sign that was submerged in water.

02:57Meanwhile, the water level in Marikina River is still high in the third alarm

03:02and is currently at 18.3 meters.

03:06This part of the river is already low after the water level reached more than 20 meters

03:11during the rain earlier.

03:13A forced evacuation was carried out for the residents

03:16when the water level in the third alarm rose.

03:20Meanwhile, Sandra, the rain is not that heavy anymore.

03:24This is just the first time we are experiencing this.

03:27But the water level in Marikina River is still high.

03:33That is the latest from Marikina.

03:35Sandra?

03:36Thank you very much, Bea Pinlak.

03:40And now, we will talk to Marikina Mayor Marcy Chudoro.

03:44Good evening, Mayor.

03:46Good evening to us and to the viewers and listeners.

03:50Mayor, Bea's report is that the water level in Marikina River is still high.

03:56How is it now?

03:57Are there still floods in Marikina?

04:01There are still floods in many places.

04:0318.5 meters.

04:05It went down by 20 meters earlier at 8 p.m.

04:09because of the heavy rain at 6 p.m.

04:14We can see that because of the heavy rain,

04:19the water level in Marikina River decreased.

04:26One thing to note is that earlier,

04:294,727 families were in our evacuation centers,

04:3623,596 individuals at 8 p.m.

04:40But now, while it went down at night,

04:45before I left the evacuation centers,

04:48I saw that the number of more than 1,000 families increased

04:53and almost 7,000 individuals were added to the evacuation centers.

05:01There are 5,845 families and 29,000 individuals.

05:05Some have returned to sleep or rest in the evacuation centers

05:11while others are worried about their homes because it's getting dark

05:17and they are afraid that the water level in their area will increase.

05:23But Mayor, at this time, we are not being evacuated

05:29from the areas of concern, especially the low-lying areas.

05:34Is that right?

05:35That's right.

05:37Earlier, when it got dark until 8 or 9 p.m.,

05:44we were still going around the area

05:47to ensure the safety of those who were not evacuated,

05:52especially the bedridden patients who were left at home

05:55or the small children.

05:58The parents went home early in the morning

06:01and returned late in the afternoon or late at night.

06:05They found that their area was flooded.

06:08Now that the water level is going down,

06:12we can see that the areas where people were evacuated are becoming safer.

06:23Mayor, earlier, some were saying that their memories of Undoy are coming back.

06:32What do you think is the difference in our response compared to Undoy?

06:38First, our protocol in the evacuation centers has changed.

06:47We have opened more evacuation centers now.

06:51We have dedicated areas for PWDs, vulnerable sectors,

06:58children, pregnant women, and the elderly.

07:07Second, the whole community is helping there.

07:15There is more coordination now.

07:18We also saw the whole-of-government approach earlier.

07:24This is a new normal.

07:27The rainfall count and the length of the rain.

07:32In Undoy, it rained for six hours.

07:34It's longer now.

07:36It's longer, but the volume of the rainfall count is the same as in Undoy.

07:46Earlier, we helped the Metro Manila Council.

07:52What we are requesting in terms of hope is the co-coordinated forecasting

07:58and the data that LGUs like us need to see.

08:03We are a downstream community.

08:06Hopefully, we can see the data that is happening in the upstream area,

08:13especially in the upper Antipolo area.

08:16What is happening is that the rainfall is increasing,

08:19the water level is decreasing.

08:22Thank you very much.

08:26Thank you very much for this opportunity.

08:29Good evening.

08:31Marikina Mayor, Marcy Chudoro.

08:34There will be no entrance to all schools and offices of the government in Metro Manila Region 3 and 4A.

08:41This is the order of Malacanang.

08:43In a statement, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said

08:47that the work and class suspension in those areas will help in the rescue

08:53and help of the government in the flood.

08:56For private companies and offices,

08:59it depends on their leadership if they will suspend the entrance.

09:04On behalf of Malawakang Pagbaha in Metro Manila,

09:07we will talk to Metro Manila Council President and San Juan City Mayor, Francis Zamora.

09:14Good evening, Mayor Zamora.

09:17Yes, sir. Good evening.

09:18Thank you very much for inviting me to the program.

09:21Yes, sir.

09:22Almost the entire Metro Manila was flooded.

09:25How many cities were affected and how widespread was the flood that we experienced here in Metro Manila?

09:32All of the cities in Metro Manila were affected, except the ones near the sea.

09:38Of course, it was worse.

09:40Of course, Marikina.

09:41Their rivers were flooded.

09:43Here in San Juan, 14 barangays were affected by the flood.

09:48But now, it has slowed down because the rain has subsided last night.

09:54We declared earlier in the Metro Manila Council the state of calamity here in the National Capital Region.

10:00It is important because the local government units will be given a chance to release a quick response fund

10:08from our City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund to address the needs of our residents.

10:15What is your assessment on your meeting earlier?

10:19Considering that the rain and the volume of water in Metro Manila has increased,

10:25but why is the effect only this much?

10:28Over the years, since on the way, we have been developing infrastructure.

10:33What happened? Are our actions still not enough?

10:38Based on the information we received earlier, and this is also from the Metro Manila Council,

10:44Based on the information we received earlier, and this is also from the Metro Manila Council,

10:49the rainfall is abnormal.

10:53This is not a normal rainfall.

10:55We experienced several weeks of rain today.

11:02That's why all the councils in Metro Manila and other regions in our country experienced flooding.

11:11That's why it's important for our government to move.

11:16Both the national and local governments are moving to help our residents.

11:22In San Juan and in Pangkalatang, you received a report for Metro Manila.

11:28How is our evacuation center? Is it sufficient and do you have sufficient supplies?

11:34I'm here in San Juan. We have more than 1,500 evacuees.

11:41We have a main evacuation center and satellite evacuation centers.

11:46It's good that the rain has stopped.

11:49Our residents are moving.

11:52We are feeding them.

11:54We are making sure they have a place to sleep.

11:57We rescued stranded people earlier.

12:01They were inside their homes and were evacuated to our evacuation centers.

12:06As early as this morning, I told my residents that they should leave their homes if they are living in low-lying areas.

12:17In areas with high water levels and if it rains, where can we call or ask for help for those in need of rescue?

12:27We have a hotline, 137-135. You can call if you need help.

12:33We also have a Facebook page and a Facebook page of Mayor Francis.

12:38Around the clock, someone is monitoring that.

12:41We are sending all those who are asking for help and rescue to our command center and operations center

12:48so they can reach our police, firefighters and emergency responders.

12:54Thank you very much Metro Manila Council President and San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora.

13:00How many malls in Metro Manila will provide free parking this evening?

13:04It is for those affected by floods.

13:06These include Vista Malls, SM Supermalls, Ayala Malls, Robinson's Malls, Mega World Lifestyle Malls, Araneta City and other establishments.

13:17Those who will park can connect to Wi-Fi and charge their phones at the charging stations of the malls.

13:24Aside from free overnight parking, restrooms can also be used.

13:30LRT-1 stations will be fully opened for temporary shelter.

13:36This is a help for stranded commuters, especially those who cannot go home due to floods.

13:41According to Light Rail Manila Corporation, all 20 LRT-1 stations will remain open even if there is no threat.

13:51Just go to the waiting areas inside the station and follow the guidance of the security personnel.

13:57The last train journey was extended until 10.15 p.m. as assistance for passengers.
