00:00 Some motorists and commuters in Cebu City are stranded due to the heavy rain that was experienced in the city.
00:08 It was a continuous rainstorm.
00:10 This is the story of Jessie Atienza of PTV Cebu.
00:13 A mall in Banilad, Cebu City, was flooded after heavy rain poured on Monday afternoon.
00:24 From above, the cars parked outside the mall were seen drowning in the flood.
00:30 The roadside vehicles were struggling to get to the road.
00:33 The result was that passengers and motorists were stranded for several hours.
00:38 Even some nearby restaurants were also flooded.
00:42 Based on the inspection carried out by the local government, only two places in the city were hit by heavy rain.
00:49 I think the concentration of the rain was only in the area that was in the west.
00:56 And I think there are areas downstream, which are residential areas, that are constricted.
01:02 These are some of my concerns that we haven't been done through for the implementation.
01:08 So what happened was that when the water was high, it overflowed, backflowed to the country mall, and then overflowed to the roadside.
01:19 That's why the flood happened in the Banilad area.
01:23 Flooding in Mandawi City also caused a lot of trouble for motorists.
01:27 Motorists were struggling to cross the AS-Fortuna because of the deep water.
01:33 One of the reasons for the rapid flooding in Metro Cebu is the garbage.
01:38 That's why on the upcoming Saturday, a citywide cleanup will be launched in the streets, rivers, and in the beaches.
01:47 At this time, they will list the types of garbage that will be collected throughout the day.
01:53 To really identify the nature of the garbage here in Cebu City.
02:00 And for that, I believe that the data will be used to measure what we will restrict in the regulation,
02:08 what we will do with the systems, or if we need to do a policy.
02:14 The citywide cleanup includes those in the private sector and those in the barangay of Lungson, Acadim, and government agencies.
02:22 From PTV Cebu, Jesse Atienza, for the country.
