00:00Various parts of Quezon City and Manila experienced heavy flooding due to Hurricane Christine.
00:06In MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela, there were motorists who were driven backwards.
00:10Witness, Maly Sol of Drama.
00:16In MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela,
00:19some motorists were driven backwards because they were afraid to turn their vehicles
00:23because of the deep flood.
00:26Other motorists did not try to turn their vehicles,
00:28they just stood by the side of the road.
00:30In Malabon, it was gutter deep until the flood reached its peak.
00:33That's why some of them had no choice,
00:35even though they were not wearing boots.
00:40In Rojas District in Quezon City,
00:43it rained heavily.
00:45Some residents of Gumamela and Walling Walling Street had to evacuate.
00:49But those who lived behind the river,
00:51chose to stay in their homes.
00:54What was the highest flood that you experienced?
00:56This one here.
00:58Last night?
00:59Yes.
01:00This was the highest.
01:01It was really fast last night.
01:03It was not like what we experienced before.
01:06Don Pepe Street in Santo Domingo Barangay also experienced heavy flooding.
01:10On the road,
01:11there were many people.
01:13Inside our house,
01:14it was gutter deep.
01:15Because here, everything was flooded.
01:17The flood was visible inside their house.
01:20After the flood,
01:22the residents of Gumamela and Walling Walling Street
01:24experienced heavy flooding.
01:26That's why they had to evacuate.
01:30So that the flood would be reduced.
01:36In Ista Puting Bato in Manila,
01:38many people did not evacuate even though the rain was heavy.
01:41Rey told us that she has been living here for 4 decades.
01:44Last night,
01:45the water from the sea reached the banks of the Barong Barong River.
01:50The garbage from the sea reached the roads.
01:53The level of the sea went down.
01:55But earlier,
01:56the water was rising again due to the continuous rain.
01:59But Rey's family did not evacuate even though they are very close to the sea.
02:04It's hard to relocate,
02:06especially when there are sick people.
02:08And it's hard when there are children.
02:10But if it's okay,
02:12we will stay here.
02:13But if it's really close,
02:16then we will move.
02:19Erich has 3 children,
02:20so he chose to stay at home.
02:22If we evacuate,
02:24it will be hard for us because we have a baby with us.
02:27We always monitor this area
02:29because this is a very dangerous area.
02:32In Manila North Port Terminal,
02:34200 passengers are staying in the hospital.
02:38They were given free food by the Philippine Force Authority
02:42and the ship's company.
02:43We will not go home because it's far.
02:45What can we do?
02:47We have a lot of luggage.
02:50According to the PPA and the Philippine Coast Guard,
02:52more than 7,000 passengers are stranded in 14 provinces in the country,
02:58such as Batangas, Bicol, Masbate,
03:01Guimaras, Leyte, Negros Oriental and Occidental,
03:05Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga del Norte.
03:08We request that the passengers monitor the situation
03:12and not proceed to the terminals
03:15considering that there are no trips.
03:17For GMA Integrated News,
03:20Marisol Abdurrahman is your witness.
