00:50This part of the Tirona Highway in Cavite was covered by darkness.
00:55According to the residents, since 9 o'clock in the evening, there was no electricity in the area due to the continuous impact of the typhoon.
01:03I am here in this part of the Tirona Highway in Cavite.
01:06This is what you will pass if you will go to Noveleta and Rosario, Cavite.
01:10We were blocked by the rescue teams here because they say that the water level is still high in Bandan Dulo.
01:16That is why it cannot be passed by any type of vehicle.
01:19The motorcycle rider, Jeffrey, was stranded in the area at 11 o'clock in the evening.
01:25He came from Manila and was supposed to go home to Rosario.
01:28Aside from the flood, he also had a problem with his motorcycle that was hit by the typhoon.
01:32That is why he had to push it all the way to Cavite.
01:34I was just driving to Rosario. It was still far.
01:38I was just driving to Rosario. It was still far.

01:45Some vehicles were blocked in this high part of the highway so that the flood would not reach it.
01:51The residents were stuck in the flood for more than 20 minutes to get their wishes back.
01:56We are from Panamitan.
01:59Flood?
02:00Sir, we are so scared.
02:03The water level is so high.
02:06In August, sir, when you walk there, it is really hard to walk.
02:11The resident, Ema, will sleep in her friend's house because the flood has reached their house.
02:17How deep is the flood there?
02:19It is up to my chin and the current is strong.
02:22We will continue here because the flood level is high.
02:25Yes, the flood has reached all of us.
02:27According to the Cavite Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office,
02:31more than 1,500 families were evacuated from the entire province due to the flood.
02:37Most of them are from Cavite City, which is more than 500 families.
