00:00The MacArthur Highway is still flooded that's why motorists are affected there.
00:05EJ Gomez has the first live news. EJ.
00:10We are now in the length of the MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela City.
00:18It's raining here again and again that's why the highway is still flooded.
00:24From here, where I'm standing, the water is in the gutter dip.
00:29But there, up to the middle, the water will reach up to 20 meters above the water level.
00:39This is the scene on the MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela City early this morning.
00:43The water is still not receding since last night.
00:46It's hard for the vehicles to pass.
00:48Some motorcycles were hit and the riders pushed them away.
00:52Like Rodel, who came from Norzagaray, Bulacan and will be going to work in Pasay City.
00:57It's a bad omen. We were stuck in the middle of the flood.
01:00I just tried to pass because that's the way to our work.
01:06I couldn't start the motorcycle until now.
01:08He's sure that he's late for his 7.30 a.m. work.
01:12There are some who are just looking for another route.
01:16Here in G. Lazaro, Barangay Dalandana, the water reached the gutter dip on the entire road
01:21since 12 a.m. earlier this morning.
01:24Only a few vehicles and motorcyclists pass through here.
01:27The businesses here are on the other side.
01:30According to the people we talked to, they are in trouble because of the sale of goods
01:34in the past few days due to the flood.
01:37Just like this tapsilugan that will open tomorrow morning.
01:41If the customer is strong, they will earn up to P30,000.
01:46It's halved every time there's a storm and rain.
01:48When it rains, sometimes people disappear and we lose our dining room.
01:52Especially here because it's flooding.
01:55Our early days were strong, but now it's really weak.
02:00Yesterday, the total amount of money that went into the business reached P6,000.
02:05They were forced to cancel the entrance of their employees in the morning shift
02:09because of the non-stop flood.
02:11Some are still enduring the flood to continue their livelihood.
02:16We need to earn to feed our family.
02:19Sometimes it's big, sometimes it's small.
02:21When the flood is this big, we don't want to travel anymore.
02:25But when there's two of us, we don't want to push each other.
02:28It's hard in a situation like this.
02:30Because our livelihood is because of the flood.
02:35It's broken. If it's like this, we won't be able to travel.
02:42We've been here for more than three hours now.
02:49Almost 300 motorcycles have stopped on the side of the road
02:55to restart their motorcycles.
02:58Meanwhile, there are points where the traffic is slowing down
03:03along MacArthur Highway
03:05because the jeeps and buses are already leaving.
03:10Here's the first news from Valenzuela, Eze Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
