00:00 Three typhoons in and out of the Philippine area of responsibility
00:05 are making the wind strong and causing rain in many places in the country.
00:10 The rain was accompanied by high tide, so some parts of the flowers were submerged in the four-fold flood.
00:16 Water from the Ipo Dam was also needed to be drained,
00:20 so residents living near Angat River were being careful.
00:24 The situation there is being pointed out live by Dano Tingcoco.
00:29 Dano!
00:30 Mel, Emil and Vicky, due to the heavy rain, many parts of the Hagonoy flowers were submerged.
00:42 According to the residents, due to the heavy rain since last night,
00:46 the water that usually rises during high tide, rose even more this morning.
00:56 The water was not new to many people in Hagonoy, especially during high tide.
01:00 But instead of usually half a foot of water,
01:03 the water that was submerged in their river this morning was almost full after the continuous rain.
01:09 It was like it was deeper during high tide, it was still full.
01:11 Until this, the shore was wet.
01:14 We couldn't find a decent place to live.
01:16 We couldn't get in to our children.
01:18 This afternoon, the water went down somehow.
01:22 But since it was not fully rising, Ms. Jovita's food was affected.
01:27 The water rose from the shore.
01:29 The rain was strong this morning.
01:31 It was raining until this morning.
01:34 Then, the water rose.
01:38 It was like that during high tide.
01:40 Due to the heavy rain, Ms. Remedios' house almost reached the second floor.
01:46 The rain was strong. Then, the water rose.
01:52 It was like that every day, during high tide.
01:54 From the night, until the morning, the water was dry.
02:00 Because of the bad weather, the storm was still spreading.
02:04 From 3 in the afternoon, the Ipo Dam was about to overflow.
02:07 It was a spillway gate that was opened.
02:09 The water was about to overflow, 61 cubic meters per second.
02:13 It means that those who live near Angat River should be prepared for possible flooding.
02:18 Especially those who live near the river and in low-lying areas.
02:21 In Nursagaray, Angat, San Rafael, Bustos, Baliwag, Pulilan, Plaridel, Calumpit, Paumbong, and here in Hagonoy.
02:29 According to the Bulacan PDRRMO,
02:32 in coastal areas where the flood is recorded, particularly in Hagonoy, Ubando, Paumbong, and Calumpit,
02:38 the PDRRMO clarified that the effect of the rain was not direct,
02:43 but because of the high tide, which reached 4.47 feet earlier this morning.
02:49 The overflow of the Ipo Dam will not cause additional flooding.
02:54 The equipment is also being prepared for the immediate needs of the pre-emptive evacuation,
02:58 especially if the rain continues for the next few hours and days.
03:03 The city and municipalities, all LGUs along Angat River, should be prepared.
03:15 The releases of Ipo are minor.
03:18 As I said, we are only in Orange, and it will not cause flooding.
03:23 In the area of Nursagaray, that's the first area that will be affected.
03:28 Before the rain spreads, we are giving a warning to the area of Nursagaray
03:34 because it may cause minor flash floods.
03:38 And Vicky, since yesterday, the rain in our area of San Miguel, in Hagonoy, Bulacan, stopped.
03:53 That is in line with the gradual flooding here along the Provincial Road.
04:00 Thank you very much, Dono Tinkunco.
