00:00 Some places are flooded with water,

00:04 and some residents are having to pay for the water to ride their boats and travel.

00:11 Joshua Garcia has the story.

00:13 In the footage we got last night,

00:20 we can see that some residents in Olongapo City are already in the middle of the flood

00:24 because the water is flooding their houses.

00:29 While some barangays in the province of Bataan are still flooded.

00:33 Even though it's not raining anymore,

00:35 and the sun is shining,

00:36 it will be flooded for a week here in Daungan and Almacen

00:40 where the water can reach from Tujo to Bewang or Lampasta.

00:44 That's why the residents here are calling for help

00:47 or rice for their daily food and necessities.

00:51 According to the MDRRMO,

00:53 in more than a thousand families,

00:55 the barangays near Iloga are still flooded with water.

00:58 Most residents are used to the flood that they are experiencing.

01:02 But they hope that the government will still help them.

01:06 They are not just staying at home,

01:08 and they can't go out and make a big pot of water.

01:13 I hope they can give rice,

01:15 rice, and some help to their families.

01:21 Because our area is low,

01:23 we are the first to receive the vaccine.

01:29 I hope that they can give some support from the municipality.

01:34 I hope that they can give a big help.

01:36 Instead of increasing the daily expenses,

01:39 the residents are spending almost P100 pesos on the boat.

01:44 Especially the residents of Barangay Almacen.

01:46 Most residents of Sabah, Rivera, Palihan, Bacong, Bamban,

01:51 and other barangays near Iloga are still choosing to stay at home

01:57 or to continue with their families who live in high places.

02:02 According to the MDRRMO,

02:04 rehabilitation has already started in their area,

02:07 especially in small infrastructure that is flooded.

02:11 For example, the river banks.

02:14 We have already started sandbagging,

02:16 but the construction of the river walls that are flooded

02:21 will require additional budget.

02:24 Meanwhile, aside from the preposition of relief items

02:26 and other help that is yet to be received,

02:28 the MDRRMO is also currently conducting

02:31 the Post Disaster Needs Assessment

02:34 to ensure that all affected families are provided with the necessary supplies.

02:38 At the same time, the residents are also not willing,

02:41 especially those who live in areas where the water has deepened

02:44 and has been drained temporarily,

02:45 to receive immediate help such as medical services and relief goods if necessary.

02:51 Josh Garcia for the nation.

02:53 Bye guys.
