00:00 Water levels are rising in Marikina River due to heavy rains.
00:04 Earlier, the river was alerted for the second time.
00:07 This means that the water level has reached 16 meters.
00:10 The latest in Marikina River, in our first news, live from Bam Alegre.
00:15 Bam, how high is the river now?
00:18 Good morning, we are here at the bottom of Marikina Bridge.
00:24 You can see behind us, this is the rising Marikina River.
00:28 The water marker is also here, showing that the water level is 16 meters at this time.
00:34 Before dusk, the first alarm was raised in Marikina River.
00:41 After the water level of the river rose to 15 meters,
00:45 the rain was heavy in the afternoon.
00:47 This is a warning to the residents to prepare for possible flooding.
00:51 Under the bridge where you can see the river marker,
00:55 the water level is rising fast.
00:57 A large part of the riverbanks are also flooded.
00:59 The rescuer, Eugenio De Luna, also worked hard.
01:03 He was in a small rescue boat waiting by the river
01:07 in case someone needs to be rescued.
01:09 He washed the water from the side of the river to clean the small boat.
01:13 We have nothing to do because that is our job.
01:17 When the time comes, we go home.
01:21 Whatever sleep we get, that is our job.
01:26 We go home to rescue people when we have a call.
01:34 After 2 am, the rain again poured heavily.
01:39 The visibility in JP Rizal Street, one of the main roads in Marikina,
01:44 and in Tomana, one of the easiest to reach places in the city,
01:48 was difficult to see.
01:48 It is good that the rain did not pour here immediately.
01:52 Before 4 am, the water level rose to the second alarm.
01:57 It is already 16 meters above the water level of Marikina River.
02:00 It is also a good time to escape.
02:02 Local authorities are on the side of the river
02:06 in case of any situation.
02:08 I will just show you the riverbanks area.
02:19 It is a place for jogging and biking.
02:23 But now, it is submerged in the river.
02:25 It is like an extension of Marikina River.
02:27 The weather is getting worse.
02:31 The flow of the river is strong at this time.
02:37 This is what we mentioned in our report earlier.
02:39 The standby rescue boat.
02:41 As you can see,
02:43 I hope the rain will not continue.
02:47 If the situation is still like this,
02:49 there is still a possibility that the water level will rise
02:53 compared to the second alarm.
02:57 This is the latest from Marikina River,
02:59 Bam Alegre for GMA Integrated News.
03:01 Back to you, Igan.
03:03 Thank you very much, Bam Alegre.
03:05 Thank you, Bam Alegre.
