00:00Rescue operations were even harder in some parts of Antipolo City because of the heavy rain.
00:08Until this morning, some parts of Marcos Highway were still submerged in water.
00:13More than 200 families were evacuated to various evacuation centers.
00:17This is what Belle Custodio reported.
00:22This is the scene of the rescue operation of the Philippine National Police Maritime Group
00:26in Sitio Chaong, Barangay Mayamot, Antipolo City, last night at 8 p.m.
00:31The flood reached its peak,
00:33and the residents who were evacuated were remembered by their loved ones.
00:38In the neighboring subdivision,
00:40the evacuees needed to board a rescue boat.
00:44Ms. Maricar was one of the evacuees.
00:47For her, it seems that the storm season has just returned.
00:5115 years have already passed.
00:54The flood reached our legs.
00:56Just now.
00:58And the other day,
01:00just now, the water level rose again.
01:03That's it.
01:05We need something.
01:07We don't have any income yet.
01:11We don't know what the situation is in our house.
01:14In our house, there's an extension.
01:16We just put it in the creek.
01:18That's when we...
01:21Our extension might fall.
01:24That's why we put it in the creek.
01:28We got on the garbage truck.
01:32We were brought here for evacuation.
01:35They were evacuated to the Kingsville Court in Antipolo.
01:39We activated the incident command post.
01:43Then the team went there,
01:46the CDRRMO,
01:48together with the PNP, the Red Cross, the MIRBS,
01:51the DRCD Fire and Rescue Volunteer,
01:53and the Rapid Rescue,
01:54the area of Kingsville, where we are now.
01:58This is one of the most affected areas by the storm.
02:0239 families, or 116 individuals,
02:05were evacuated to the Kingsville Covered Court as of 4 a.m.
02:09The water level yesterday,
02:11according to other reports, was almost life-threatening.
02:14Now, the rain has subsided.
02:17The water level is just low.
02:20When the weather calms down and the rain subsides,
02:24the victims can return to their homes.
02:28In total, there are 200 families,
02:31or 1,124 individuals,
02:34who remain in the 24 evacuation centers in Antipolo.
02:39Three were injured,
02:40while none were found missing or injured.
02:43According to Antipolo City Disaster Risk Reduction
02:46and Management Office,
02:47the supply of food and relief goods
02:50provided by the local government unit
02:53and some non-government organizations is sufficient.
02:56Meanwhile,
02:57some main roads in Antipolo seem to be flooded.
03:01We drove up to three kilometers of floodwater
03:04from Masinag to St. Lucia-Marcos Highway
03:07at 12 a.m. earlier this morning.
03:10The road is one-way passable
03:13because the other part of the road is flooded.
03:16Even though the rush hour is over,
03:19there is still traffic on the said route.
03:22Since this morning,
03:23the rain in Antipolo has been heavy.
03:26But that part of the road is still flooded,
03:29so vehicles can cross the Marcos Highway faster.
