00:00The storm is getting stronger as it moves away from the Philippine Area of Responsibility, according to the weather forecast.
00:08But it is expected that it will continue to rain in the next few days.
00:12Until now, a lot of places are still flooded in Luzon.
00:15Like a barangay near Laguna de Valle.
00:18Saksi Live with Niko Wahe.
00:20Niko?
00:21Atom Pia is still flooded in Barangay De La Paz in Binan, Laguna.
00:29Unlike other flooded places, where the water quickly evaporates when it rains,
00:33here, it takes a week.
00:35Sometimes, it takes a month.
00:43Barangay De La Paz in Binan, Laguna is one of the places near Laguna de Valle.
00:48That's why if it continues to rain, like in Baguio-Enteng,
00:51it only takes a minute and it will flood.
00:54Today, it didn't rain that much, but the flood is still high.
00:58Actually, the water just stayed in the banks.
01:01It has been a problem for a long time.
01:05Aside from being a low-lying area, it is also near Laguna.
01:12Once the water level in Laguna de Valle overflows,
01:21the water automatically goes to residential areas.
01:25Barangay De La Paz is also next to a river.
01:27That's why they are the catch basin when it rains.
01:30Residents have nothing to do.
01:32We are used to it.
01:34We are just here.
01:39No matter how fast the flood enters the barangay,
01:41it is still slow to come out.
01:43The water level in Laguna de Valle is already high.
01:46That's why if it doesn't come out immediately,
01:48it will take a week to reach Manila Bay.
01:53Sometimes, it takes a month to come out.
01:56The last flood didn't last that long.
02:00It was like two weeks.
02:02But as of the moment, before Baguio-Enteng,
02:06we were able to recover.
02:08Actually, we were able to recover.
02:10Suddenly, Baguio-Enteng came.
02:12So, it's back to zero.
02:14Because the residents of Barangay De La Paz are used to flooding,
02:18they learned to adjust to the time.
02:20The houses here, if it's not high,
02:22there are second floors.
02:24Because it's just a road,
02:26the flood reaches up to the neck.
02:28Luisa's house was flooded.
02:31She can't move because of the stroke.
02:33It's not just a week, it's a month already.
02:37How many months already?
02:39It's a month already.
02:40One month already?
02:41Yes.
02:42It started in August.
02:44And now, it's really hard.
02:48It's a good thing that she can't reach the sofa she's lying on.
02:51Despite the flood,
02:53many residents are still looking for food.
02:57Like Mads.
02:58She has a shop selling gulaman and popcorn.
03:00It's for food.
03:02It's for rice and vegetables.
03:07She's been living here for two decades
03:09and experienced the worst flood in Barangay De La Paz.
03:12Like Mads, the residents are still alive.
03:16The barangay and the houses are still looking for food.
03:20I just go inside.
03:21Sometimes, I just walk.
03:23Here, we're banking.
03:26It's really hard when it rains like this.
03:33Atompia, residents are not allowed to evacuate here.
03:37That's why the rescue team of the barangay is always on standby
03:40to evacuate the residents in case of flooding.
03:44And live from Binan, Laguna,

03:48I'm Niko Aje, your witness.
