01:46The Barangay members always have a problem when the river is flooded in bad times.
01:51We want to ask the National Government to do something for the community here, for the people who live here to disappear.

03:41GMA Integrated News reported that some residents are building a minibus next to the puddle.
03:49For the tsunami to happen, I moved it to the side.

03:57It hit the post.
