00:00 It still rains even though there are no storms in some places in Bulacan.

00:03 But it's not because of the lack of water in the dams.

00:06 The latest we will find out live from Sandra Yacob's coverage.

00:10 Yes, Pia, it still rains in some places in Bulacan.

00:20 And according to Bulacan PDRRMO,

00:23 it's because of the continuous rain here, Pia,

00:26 and because it's also in the high tide.

00:30 Thank you, thank you.

00:32 In San Miguel, Calumpit, Bulacan, this is what we found.

00:37 Residents are drowning in the flood that reaches the dam.

00:41 Some are using a life raft.

00:43 And some are also building a boat so that it won't get wet.

00:47 Many of the residents did not evacuate, especially those who have a second floor house.

00:52 Others seem to be relaxed in the flood, which happens every year in their area.

00:58 I look at my house and I still have to carry my things.

01:01 Last night, there was no water when we left.

01:05 Now, there is water.

01:07 Why didn't you evacuate?

01:09 We don't have anything. We're used to it.

01:13 What we're waiting for is for the sun to rise.

01:16 If the water level drops from the dam,

01:20 and if there's water in Nueve Ecija, it will rise even more.

01:25 Calumpit is really a catch basin.

01:28 Residents here in San Miguel, Calumpit, Bulacan,

01:33 said that the water level started rising here after the Egay and Habagat floods.

01:39 But they said that the high tide was still there.

01:43 They expect that it will reach the dam in a week before the water level drops here.

01:48 Pampanga River also flooded.

01:51 We will continue to be careful.

01:53 We are asking our children to be careful.

01:57 The barangay captain is reminding the residents to remain alert.

02:02 It could rise again tomorrow or the next few days because of the continuous rain.

02:08 We took a boat to reach Barangay Maysulaw in Calumpit.

02:12 The ground floor of some houses almost collapsed.

02:15 Here in Barangay Maysulaw, people say that the water level suddenly rose

02:21 from 3 to 4 a.m.

02:23 They say that these motorbikes sank and they were lifted up to be salvaged.

02:31 Some residents suspect that the water level rose in their area

02:35 because of the water loss of Ipo and Bustos Dam.

02:39 When the dam was lost, the water rose at 4 a.m.

02:42 Just a while ago?

02:43 Yes, it suddenly rose. It was so fast.

02:46 According to the Bulacan PDRRMO, the dam was not lost

02:51 because of the flooding in some parts of 13 provinces.

02:57 They say that the water flows from Ipo and Bustos Dam.

03:02 It did not overflow.

03:04 We have CCTVs that monitor the area.

03:10 I was teaching earlier about Plaridel, Cadyogan Bridge, Bulusan Road, and Hagu Onoy.

03:16 But we can see that the area I mentioned is still low.

03:21 For now, the flood is expected in some parts of Bulacan until Sunday

03:26 because of what they call "back flooding".

03:29 In Gigintong, Bulacan, some motorbikes sank in the MacArthur Highway.

03:35 The Capitol of Bulacan also collapsed.

03:38 They were either riding in a truck or a bulldozer to cross the flood.

03:43 Motorcycles, tricycles, and pedestrians.

03:46 The traffic was heavy because big vehicles like trucks were also careful in crossing.

03:54 Because of the high flood,

03:56 the MacArthur Highway was not accessible to vehicles in Barangay Bunlo, Bukawi, Bulacan.

04:06 There are 18 evacuation centers in Bulacan.

04:09 They have evacuated 10,000 people.

04:12 But according to them, many are returning to their homes.

04:17 That number has been decreasing for a while.

04:21 From Bulacan, for GMA Integrated News,

04:24 Sandra Aguinaldo, for 24 Hours.

04:27 Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
