00:00A few rescuers carried the residents they rescued earlier this morning to the town of Lopez, Quezon.
00:10When the rain stopped, the floods in Situ Siniguelas in Barangay Gomez were still high.
00:16That's why the officials of the barangay still don't want to make sure.
00:19You won't be rescued anymore?
00:21It's okay now.
00:25It's okay now? Maybe it won't rain again?
00:28The rain suddenly increased.
00:30Maybe it won't rain again?
00:31But the problem of the responders from the barangay is that when the floods suddenly increase,
00:37when the rain suddenly pours, they will be the ones who will have a hard time.
00:41They will have a hard time getting in and they will have a hard time rescuing.
00:45The problem is that it's deep. That's where we're having a hard time.
00:51It's not a rescue anymore.
00:53Barangay Gomez is considered a catch basin.
00:56That's why it's usually flooded when the rain is heavy.
00:59Some places in the town of Pitogo and Tagkawayan were also flooded.
01:04In the part of Tagkawayan on the Quilino Highway, the trees fell.
01:08A motorist with a jackhammer cut a large branch so that vehicles could pass.
01:16In the town of Alabat, a strong wave entered the seaside and destroyed some boats.
01:24In Naga City, Camarinesu, 16 out of 27 barangays were flooded
01:29until the water reached the area of Nedcel.
01:32We were surprised because there were several floods here unlike before.
01:37Ms. Erlinda's house was affected.
01:41It was too fast. We thought the rain would last until the morning.
01:44We don't have anything to stand on.
01:47I sell breakfast there in the morning.
01:50According to the local government,
01:52they experienced this kind of heavy flooding again in the past three decades.
01:57The heavy rain was accompanied by high tide.
02:00The volume of water that was drained was huge.
02:04It was around 250 millimeters.
02:09Ordinarily, according to our local weather forecaster,
02:15this can happen within one to two months.
02:21The LDRRMO also confirmed that two people were affected by the flood.
02:26One man was electrocuted and the other was hit by a woman's jackhammer.
02:30They were electrocuted while they were waiting for evacuation.
02:34What happened was that it was dark.
02:37There was still electricity and the water was flooded.
02:40This young man was also affected by the flood.
02:46According to the barangay officials,
02:50he fell into a bed where his parents were not free.
02:54Naga City was under state of calamity.
02:57In the town of Milaor, several residents were affected by heavy floods.
03:02He fell into a bed where his parents were not free.
03:05All his belongings were on the bed.
03:07Floods and landslides.
03:09In Labo, Camarines Norte,
03:11a house was flooded because of the high water level in the river.
03:14There were no people inside.
03:16Some streets were flooded as well.

03:24More than 100 residents were evacuated.

03:30books and other items were damaged by the floods.
03:34Some students' parents were also flooding the classrooms.
03:39The farmers in Pulangi were also affected by the heavy rain.
03:43It is expected that it will rain this month.
03:46Communities near the Mayon Volcano are advised
03:50to be alert for the possibility of flooding or landslides.
03:54According to President Bongbong Marcos,
03:56the government continues to monitor the weather and flooding situation.
04:01We are prepared for the aftermath of all of this.
04:04As usual, we have forwarded the needs.
04:08We will just have to wait for the weather to see what it will do.
