00:00 Some residents of Bulacan are still enduring the heavy rain.
00:08 The flood continues.
00:09 The floodwater from the higher areas is now flowing in the province.
00:14 And in Pampanga, there are still some roads that are not accessible.
00:18 Live from Kalumpit, Bulacan, we are joined by Sergey Chastidio.
00:22 Sergey?
00:25 Yes, that's right. Mel, Emil and Pia, you mentioned that the floodwater is still not flowing in some parts of Bulacan and Pampanga.
00:32 Even for a few days, the rain has stopped.
00:35 Using a phone and cellphone camera,
00:46 Ryan, a vlogger, has been circling the barangay of Maysulao in Kalumpit, Bulacan for a few days to show the situation in their area on social media.
00:56 It's been two days of heavy rain, but...
00:59 This is the area where the floodwater was brought down.
01:04 There are three blocks.
01:12 Our mother's house is still submerged.
01:16 In the past few days, the floodwater has been flooding the area.
01:20 Many houses in the area were submerged in the high water.
01:24 The high tide came from the river.
01:26 The water is really coming out, sir.
01:30 But every afternoon, it's gone.
01:32 But last Sunday, we felt that...
01:36 The water was cream-colored.
01:42 Sometimes, we can dry our clothes for three months.
01:45 In one year?
01:46 Yes.
01:47 The area of Maysulao is located on the side of the Pampanga River.
01:51 Earlier, the water was flowing fast and the level of the water was higher than the ground.
01:58 According to Bulacan PDRRMO,
02:00 the rainwater that was brought down to the higher ground is now coming to the area.
02:07 In Bakura, Marites, the water still flows from the river.
02:12 It's good that people are here and the floodwater is flowing fast.
02:16 If you don't mind...
02:17 The water is big.
02:19 It's all going in.
02:20 Here.
02:22 Ah, there.
02:23 Sometimes, it's here.
02:24 If it's really big, it's here.
02:26 I have a wound on my foot.
02:29 Later, I'll have a wound on my foot because of the water.
02:34 In Elementary School of Barangay, there's still water in some corners.
02:38 The caretaker, Mang Donando, is already cleaning.
02:42 But he was told that there's a low-pressure area near the area.
02:46 The teachers told me to leave it like that.
02:50 Because if we continue to do this, we won't be able to finish it.
02:53 In Siam, Bulacan was flooded because of the flood.
02:57 According to the Bulacan PDRRMO, there's only two high-pressure areas.
03:02 The local government has already stopped the flood.
03:05 In case the flood comes again.
03:08 The preventive evacuation is being prepared.
03:12 If the water is flowing, it can be determined if it will flood or not.
03:16 Our rescue boats are being secured with gasoline.
03:20 Our responders are on standby.
03:23 At any event, we are ready.
03:25 In the nearby town of Macabebe, in the province of Pampanga,
03:28 the Abalit Macabebe-Masantol Road is almost not accessible.
03:32 Because the water is still high, and because many vehicles are being diverted,
03:36 the traffic is sometimes heavy and it reaches the nearby town of Bulacan.
03:41 We are having a hard time, especially because of the flood.
03:43 How long do you think this will last?
03:46 I don't know. Maybe for a month.
03:49 In the town of Masantol, the large part of the houses are submerged in water.
03:54 The establishment is also affected, including some businesses.
03:58 There's nothing.
04:00 There's no income here in the town.
04:04 Because you don't take it into consideration, you don't really know.
04:09 If there's no flood, how many houses will be submerged?
04:12 This is really full.
04:14 This is really full. It's not enough.
04:18 In PDRRM, because the residents of Colompit, Bulacan are choosing to live in the flood-affected areas,
04:27 the Bulacan Provincial Government is studying how to make tourism areas.
04:32 One of the measures to address this is to make tourism areas the areas that are flooded.
04:37 For example, the establishment of floating restaurants or restaurants.
04:43 Thank you very much, Cedric Castillo.
