00:00Meanwhile, it is expected that it will take another week for the flood to reach Calumpit, Bulacan.

00:06The latest news is brought to you live by June Generacion.

00:09June?

00:14Connie, almost all of the 22 barangays here in Calumpit, Bulacan are now affected by the heavy flooding.

00:23We are now here at the entrance of the nearby big private subdivision.

00:27Here, no matter where we look, we can hardly see any land.

00:36The Karina Flood is no longer a problem for the people of Habagat,

00:39but the water that was left here in Calumpit is still not enough.

00:44Residents are disposing of their own belongings,

00:46not only the things that were lifted up,

00:48but also the chickens that were placed on the roof.

00:51Sometimes, the chickens are placed on the roof,

00:53but if they drown, they cannot feed themselves.

00:56That's why we are placing them there.

00:59Then, we put food on the roof for the chickens.

01:03If you have a car, you will be lost here.

01:05That's why some people have a boat parked in their house.

01:08When we bought this, it cost us P7,000.

01:13This P7,000 is a few years old.

01:16Maybe it's been nine years.

01:19It's worth it.

01:20It's worth it.

01:22No one was affected by the flood, not even the private subdivision.

01:25In the past floods, there is still land that can be seen in their area.

01:29Now, it's just water.

01:37It's okay, sir.

01:38We can still do it.

01:39We can still work properly.

01:42Because the vehicles on top of the flood are poor,

01:44even lawn tractors are being used to drive the residents.

01:48That's the only thing that can help them to get out and get in.

01:53Schools, if they don't drown, use evacuation centers.

01:58That's why it's uncertain if the classes will be able to open on Monday.

02:02More than 127,000 residents in Calumpit are affected.

02:07Now, almost all of them drowned.

02:09Twenty-nine barangays, especially the subdivisions.

02:13It's been a long time.

02:15Because of the high tide.

02:17The high tide is already there.

02:20Because Calumpit is a catch basin,

02:22the flood became a part of the lives of the residents here.

02:25This is our house, but as you can see now,

02:28it became an instant swimming pool for the children.

02:31And other residents of this barangay,

02:33in the town of Calumpit, Bulacan.

02:37This is the effect of the heavy rains,

02:39accompanied by high tide,

02:41and the loss of two dams,

02:43the Ipo Dam and Bustos Dam.

02:45That's why the residents here have a new home.

02:51In the town of Hagonoy,

02:52in the middle of the flood,

02:53the position for the local festivities is still there.

03:02In the town of Calumpit,

03:04Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office

03:07may wait for another week

03:09before the flood is completely removed

03:11from the affected areas here.

03:13Back to you, Connie.

03:14Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
