00:00In the vastness of the flood here in Bulacan,

00:03which was caused by the combined effect of the Christine high tide

00:07and the loss of water of the two dam reservoirs,

00:10here is my report.

00:15The trip was not a joke.

00:17The boat of the parishioners of Santa Elena

00:20headed to the island barangay of Tibagin

00:23here in Agonoy, Bulacan

00:25because of the strong rain and wind.

00:28The parishioners went there

00:31to hold mass and procession

00:33for the feast of San Rafael Arcangel.

00:36And even though the weather was bad,

00:38the people celebrated.

00:40The faith of the devotees of Apo Ape

00:43in the island of Tibagin

00:45was not strengthened

00:47even though the rain and wind were strong.

00:50Past midnight,

00:52the strong rain was felt here in Agonoy.

00:55Three churches were flooded.

00:57Santa Elena Church was one of them.

00:59That's why the flood happened

01:01that we did not expect.

01:03Because of the high tide

01:05accompanied by the strong wind

01:08and the rain caused by the Christine flood.

01:12And also because of the loss of water

01:15from the two dam reservoirs.

01:17The parishioners of San Jose,

01:19even though the seats and chairs were raised,

01:22the church activity continued

01:25even though it was flooded.

01:33I am here at the San Jose Dam.

01:36This is Agonoy, Bulacan.

01:39This is one of the affected areas

01:41by the flood.

01:43It has been raining non-stop

01:45since last night.

01:47The water has already reached

01:49this parishioner's house.

01:51But definitely, it was flooded.

01:53I am still walking

01:55towards the altar.

01:5914 barangays in Calumpit were also flooded.

02:02The highest ones are Barangay Maisulao

02:04and San Miguel,

02:06which is estimated to reach 7 floors.

02:08Because of this,

02:10some boats crossed the dam.

02:12Aside from the continuous rain

02:14because of the Christine flood,

02:16the high tide was also affected

02:18and the loss of water

02:20from Ipok and Bustos Dam.

02:23In the town of Santa Maria,

02:25the Makaiban Bridge was damaged

02:27after the flood.
