00:00The floodwaters of Navotas and Malabon are getting worse.
00:05The floodgate that was blocking the water from Manila Bay was damaged.
00:10Here's Salima Rafran with the latest news.
00:15They are forcing us to enter.
00:19They are forcing us to enter.
00:20The gate is about to be destroyed.
00:23This barge was already banned but it still insisted on entering
00:27at the North Navotas Navigational Floodgate on June 7.
00:30The gate is about to be destroyed.
00:32They are forcing us to enter.
00:34Our guard already told us not to go back.
00:38They want us to enter.
00:40There.
00:42They are forcing us to enter.
00:43Because of the low tide, the barge fell into the floodgate.
00:47They had to run four times to get the barge out.
00:50But the floodgate was already destroyed.
00:52It couldn't be raised and remained open.
00:56This is important for Navotas and the neighboring city of Malabon.
01:01The gate is blocking the water from Manila Bay during high tide
01:05which can cause flooding in the low-lying barangays.
01:09Until now, there are several places with gutter flooding.
01:13In Mnaval, Asucena, and Sampaguita Streets in Navotas.
01:16General Luna in Malabon also had flooding.
01:20We don't have rain.
01:21If there's no rain, it will be more flooding.
01:22And if there's rain, we might drown.
01:25It was flooded during high tide.
01:29Now, it's flooded again because of the damaged flood control.
01:33The flood will come.
01:36Now, because of the high tide,
01:39we have a problem.
01:41The flood reached Tuhod, Hita, and Bahas Amin.
01:47And I can see, like today, two meters.
01:51It might reach Bewang.
01:53The Navgate is very important for Navotas and Malabon.
02:02So far, before this happened, we managed the flood.
02:09But if the Navgate is damaged,
02:13the water will enter.
02:17Whatever pumping we do,
02:20because the water passed through our dams,
02:24we can't do anything about it.
02:27The true size of the dam in the Navigational Gate can't be seen yet
02:31because it's not high enough under the water.
02:34But the MMDA will do something about it.
02:38We will help this through a crane
02:40to raise the Navigational Gate.
02:43The MMDA and local governments will help first
02:47and the Shipyard Association before doing this.
02:50The commitment of the Shipbuilders Association,
02:54our Shipyard Association in Metro Manila,
02:57is that whatever we can do to help,
03:00we will still help to solve
03:03the problem to make it easier or to make it last longer.
03:08The investigation of the damage to the floodgate will continue.
03:13The MMDA will also consult with the owner of the dam.
03:16We advised them that
03:19if the floodgate is raised to the yellow position
03:23and the damage is assessed,
03:25the DPWH can possibly send an assessment to them
03:29to compensate for the cost of repairing
03:36the damaged Navigational Gate.
03:40Plans are also being laid
03:43to make a better and climate-change-responsive floodgate.
