00:00More than 30,000 people were affected by the flood in Marikina City.
00:06According to the local government, this is the highest number recorded in their history.
00:13Ryan Lesigas has the details.
00:18There was no more rain in Marikina City.
00:20The flood also increased.
00:22But the amount of flood and the trauma left to the residents
00:26because of the rapid rise of the flood,
00:29is still there.
00:31One of the residents, Nanay Lita,
00:32was one of the victims of the flood.
00:35She told us that because of the rapid rise of the flood,
00:38they were not able to save anything.
00:41Nanay Lita,
00:42was shivering and crying.
00:44She could not even see
00:46what was in front of her house.
00:49We did not expect that the flood would be that big.
00:52Then, of course,
00:58all of our belongings were there.
01:01Nothing was left.
01:06I don't know.
01:08There were only two of us because I don't have a husband.
01:12What are you hoping for now, Nanay,
01:14from what you can see in your house?
01:16Of course, I was shocked.
01:20I was shocked because I was operated on my spine.
01:24I was not able to move.
01:26I brought Danife to their house
01:29to save some of her belongings
01:31that could be used for other purposes,
01:33like others.
01:34Almost all of her belongings were taken away.
01:38It was too much.
01:39From now on, we will start again.
01:42Because most of our belongings were submerged.
01:44Our appliances were submerged.
01:45It was a waste.
01:47Here in Barangay Malanday in Marikina City,
01:49the flood reached up to Lagpastao.
01:52That's why these plastic cabinets
01:55full of clothes
01:57were not used after the flood.
02:01Some residents here started to manually clean
02:06some of their belongings
02:08that could still be used.
02:10According to Mayor Marcelino Chodoro,
02:13more than 30,000 people were affected by the flood
02:17which is equivalent to more than 5,000 families.
02:20This is the highest record in history
02:24or in the experience of Marikina.
02:26It is higher than the number of Undoy and Ulysses.
02:31The flood may not have been deep,
02:36but the extent of the damage is huge.
02:40Marikina LGU is very grateful
02:43after declaring the State of Calamity
02:45throughout Metro Manila.
02:46They will use their Quick Response Fund
02:49for the recovery of the affected.
02:52Aside from the families affected by the flood,
02:5540,000 small businesses are also affected.
02:59As of now, the amount of calamity
03:02is up to 50 to 60 million pesos.
03:06Some people ask me how big the Quick Response Fund is.
03:09Will this be enough?
03:10Will this not be enough?
03:11In this calamity, it will not be enough.
03:14I am not saying it will not be enough
03:16because in our experience,
03:20we can realign our budget.
03:23The distribution of Family Food Packs
03:26to the victims of the flood has already started.
