00:00 Two were at home in Bulacan after drowning due to the widespread flooding.
00:05 The rain continued non-stop due to the typhoon and typhoon falcon.
00:09 The reason for the flood is the loss of water in some dams.
00:14 Karen Villan will tell us in detail. Rise and shine Karen!
00:17 Oh my God! It's so beautiful!
00:26 John Mark Arcega's parents could not accept his arrest.
00:30 After the dam was flooded, he was taken to Calumpit, Bulacan.
00:34 The boat that was supposed to rescue him was not recognized by the authorities.
00:40 The 30-year-old man was drunk and drowned in the flooding.
00:45 John Mark was the only one who was drowned in Bulacan after flooding the province.
00:50 In Barangay Gatbuka, Calumpit, Bulacan, the motorists are now riding on boats.
00:56 Even the children are being put in a boat so that they won't drown in the flood.
01:01 Here in Barangay Gatbuka, Calumpit, Bulacan, instead of tricycles, the boats are the main transportation
01:08 because the flood reaches the dam.
01:11 The fare for each passenger is 50 pesos.
01:14 But most of these boats are not from fishermen.
01:19 Most of them are just docked at their homes because the flood usually reaches this part of Calumpit.
01:27 Father Yoyong, who is not yet married, earns more than before.
01:32 It's bigger now.
01:33 Why?
01:34 The fare of the passengers is good.
01:39 The tricycle is for travel only.
01:42 But here, it's for people.
01:44 Because there's no electricity in the area and the water level is rising,
01:48 John was forced to evacuate with his two-year-old daughter.
01:52 We have to evacuate. It's dangerous.
01:55 Why?
01:56 There's no electricity. I have a small child.
01:59 Why? How high?
02:01 Inside my store.
02:03 Where are you going?
02:05 To my aunt and my mother.
02:07 My brother followed me.
02:09 Where's your house?
02:10 My husband left it.
02:12 Others can't do anything because the first floor of their house has been reached.
02:17 That's why Jenny Lynn has been selling for a week for food.
02:21 We can't get out because the house is full of people.
02:26 It's too deep. It's over our necks.
02:29 When we left, I don't know what happened.
02:31 The State of Calamity declared the first in Calumpit, Bulacan.
02:35 It reached more than 3 million pesos.
02:38 The flood has affected agriculture,
02:41 while more than 115,000 people are affected by the flood.
02:46 But aside from Calumpit, the whole of Bulacan is also submerged in the flood.
02:50 Even on the roads that pass through Malolos, Bulacan,
02:53 the provincial government gave relief goods to the barangay Santa Cruz, Giguinto, Bulacan,
02:58 where many residents were submerged in the flood for several days.
03:02 I have a child so I immediately evacuated them.
03:05 I prayed to God that we will have someone to give us food.
03:12 I said, "Sir, there's someone calling for prayer. Go to the barangay."
03:16 And someone said, "We're all drowning. We don't have anything.
03:21 We're just going to eat."
03:23 The reason for the high flood in many places in Bulacan
03:27 is the loss of water in Bustos Tama, which reaches 700 cubic meters per second.
03:34 According to Governor Fernando, the dams were not abused by the local government,
03:39 but he understands that the dam was a decision
03:42 because the gates of Bustos Tama are being damaged.
03:45 I know that they're worried that everything will be damaged
03:48 because the dam is weak.
03:50 It's weak because the pipe is broken.
03:53 So of course, what material will they use?
03:56 They used it.
03:58 So that's it.
03:59 According to NIA, they demanded that they have the draft.
04:04 According to our PDRM.
04:05 Because of the high flood in Bulacan, the dams in coastal areas were built.
04:10 And the rivers were flooded,
04:12 the long-term plan that Governor Fernando is in charge of.
04:16 For the past three months, we went to RSA
04:21 because they might be the one who made San Miguel Corporation
04:26 or they have an investor.
04:28 We told Governor Garcia, Governor Pineda, and me
04:34 that we will put a public-private partnership here in this coastal road.
04:40 Which is also the flood control.
