00:00Now that it's raining heavily, voters are worried that the floodgates may be damaged because the floodgates are still closed.

00:07Let's take a look at the situation in Navotas.

00:09In the first news live, EJ Gomez. EJ?

00:17Susan, I'm here where the floodgates of Navotas are.

00:21The floodgates were damaged because a barge was forced to enter the area while it was low tide.

00:30It's been two weeks since the Navotas Navigational Floodgate was damaged.

00:39Until now, it hasn't been raised and the floodgates are still open.

00:43It's causing flooding in some low-lying barangays, especially when it's high tide.

00:49When it's raining heavily, the water level will rise.

00:57The water level can reach up to the ceiling.

01:01When the water level rises, it can reach up to 20.

01:04When it's low tide, the water level goes down quickly.

01:09The damaged floodgate is important for Navotas and the neighboring city of Malabo.

01:13It blocks the water from Manila Bay whenever it's high tide.

01:17That's why it can't be used now.

01:19But we're sure that it will affect the residents of Tangos.

01:23When it's low tide, the effects are white and garbage.

01:28Flooding. There are many affected.

01:33You can't find life.

01:35The situation in Barangay Tanza is also the same.

01:38It flooded yesterday.

01:40It's been a few hours.

01:43The water level reached up to 20.

01:46The motorbikes reached the dam.

01:49The cars reached the water.

01:56Yesterday, Mayor John Ray Chanco inspected the damaged navigational gate.

02:01According to him, no pumping or pumping will stop the water from entering until the damaged navigational gate is repaired.

02:10The navigational gate is damaged.

02:12The navigational gate doesn't go up.

02:14That's why the water goes in.

02:17The water goes in the places where there are no dikes.

02:22We will make a temporary solution so that the water doesn't go in.

02:28Yesterday, several places in Tangos and Tanza placed sandbags to stop the water from entering the roads and houses.

02:36It's because it's high tide yesterday and today.

02:43Susan, according to the Navotas City Engineering Office,

02:47the sandbagging is just a temporary solution while Navotas LGU and MMDA are still looking for a better mechanism.

02:56That's the first news from Navotas.

02:59EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.

03:12That's at www.gmanews.tv.
