00:11 More than 200 families or more than 800 individuals were evacuated and are currently staying in the evacuation center in Bagong Silangan, Quezon City.
00:28 Residents were evacuated after the impact of the Egy and Habagat storms, which were accompanied by the typhoon Falcon.
00:37 Most of the evacuees are from 31 barangays, which are considered medium and low risk flood areas.
00:44 "The typhoon Egy, we had a pre-emptive evacuation. We used the elementary school before. The weather was good. The evacuees returned home. Then suddenly, Habagat and Typhoon Falcon came in. Our evacuees returned home because of the high water levels."
01:12 According to Veronica, one of the evacuees, they stayed in the evacuation center for three days because of the sudden rise in the water levels in their area.
01:23 "Actually, we were here on Saturday morning when the dam released water. Then we were evacuated by the barangay so that while there's no water, we can be here for the evacuation.
01:41 We don't have to wait for the water to rise because we were brought here by the Undoy and Ulysses."
01:48 The local government did not provide assistance to the affected residents.
01:54 "The help came from the LGU. The mayor came. Then our vice mayor and congressman and different LGUs also provided."
02:04 "When it comes to our situation here in the evacuation, it's good because there are also individuals who provide food. They can bring whatever they can to help. Someone came here. We're okay here."
02:25 At present, the barangay's chief is ordering the evacuees to return home. But residents who are near the river are not allowed to return home because of the possible rise in the water levels.
02:40 Meanwhile, the barangay's new and bigger evacuation center is now complete with facilities. This is a response to the heavy rainfall in the area when there's a storm or heavy rain.
02:53 "Our new evacuation center is a twin court. It was proposed to be an evacuation center because our population is big in flooded areas."
