00:00 Although it is not official that El Niño is ending, but it is being prepared for the next La Niña
00:07 that is expected to bring more rain.
00:11 Let's take a look at Oscar Oida's report.
00:13 It's been almost 15 years since the storm Ondoy was hit.
00:21 But the rain is still falling in Marikina.
00:29 Like Ms. Hasmin, 69 years old, who lives in Bahaing Lugar,
00:35 on the other side of the river of Barangay Malanday.
00:37 We were thinking about what happened to Ondoy.
00:40 We were still on the other side of the river.
00:44 We were still thinking about our house.
00:47 It was different.
00:48 That's when I got scared.
00:51 I had phobia.
00:53 She's still afraid, but it seems that the continuous dredging or deepening
00:59 and widening of the river since 2009 has helped her.
01:03 That's why the low areas of the city are not flooded anymore.
01:08 We were really looking for water.
01:13 God's mercy, it's not.
01:16 We have six dredgers.
01:18 It's also based on the hydrological analysis that we're following.
01:23 The right place where to dig.
01:26 But Marikina is still not giving up.
01:29 Especially now that it's going to reach the valley.
01:32 They are adding more work on the placement of the ditch
01:35 on the other side of the river.
01:37 There's a slope protection project.
01:40 The scouring or the digging of the river side is now avoided.
01:46 Aside from the continuous work, cleaning and arranging of the drainage and water pumps,
01:52 especially in the low areas.
01:55 Especially here in Provident, there are two pumping stations.
01:59 Where the high water level is not yet high enough,
02:07 the water is first collected there and pumped out to the river.
02:12 The barangay officials and volunteers are always ready to rescue.
02:16 Especially the natural flow of the Marikina Valley.
02:19 Water from the high areas.
02:22 But hopefully, they are not the only ones preparing.
02:25 In the experience of Marikina, we cannot trust and be complacent
02:30 if the water continues to flow,
02:33 the water is not enough in the mountains around Marikina.
02:38 The water will continue to flow in Marikina.
02:43 So the preparation is not only for Marikina.
02:45 For GMA Integrated News,
02:47 Oscar Oida, in Tutok, 24 hours.
