00:00Some places in Batangas were flooded because of the typhoon Karina and Habagat.
00:05Live from Batangas City, we have the first news.
00:08This is Denise Abante of GMA Regional TV. Denise?
00:16Maris, as of 6.06 this morning, it's still cloudy and rainy.
00:20This is the time we're experiencing here in Batangas City.
00:23In some parts of Batangas, some residents are calling on the authorities
00:27to solve their problem of flooding.
00:37The heavy rain in most parts of Batangas was almost unbearable yesterday.
00:41In Lipa City, it started raining on Sunday night.
00:44It was difficult to travel because only a few people were riding jeeps and tricycles.
00:48No one was able to go back to their homes in the city.
00:52The rain in Batangas City was almost continuous.
00:56Some roads were flooded, like the DJP-MM Access Road,
00:59and some parts of the population.
01:01That's why the flow of vehicles was slow.
01:05According to Batangas City DRRMO,
01:07it's possible that the small canal hole and the absence of a large outfall
01:12that is caused by the rain is the reason for the flooding in the mentioned areas.
01:16What we're also seeing is that the National Government,
01:21the DWH Drainage that comes from UTAP,
01:24can't handle the drainage for our outfall.
01:29According to Pag-asa,
01:30this is the effect of the heavy rain that was intensified by Hurricane Karina
01:34in Calakhang, Calabarzon, and Mimaropa.
01:37It's possible that it will last until Friday.
01:40We're hoping that this weekday,
01:43we'll have more rain,
01:45but we're hoping that it will improve.
01:49Right now, we're expecting monsoon rains,
01:51and then occasional rains,
01:53so we're expecting less rain in Calabarzon and Mimaropa.
01:57The heavy rain and flooding in Calabarzon and Mimaropa
02:00is a calamity for Mangdani.
02:02His house was almost flooded,
02:04that's why he was able to guard it until yesterday.
02:06It's been a long time,
02:07but there's nothing we can do.
02:09It's always flooded.
02:10When the rain is heavy,
02:11it doesn't stop.
02:14The water flows continuously.
02:17The CDRRMO will continue to speak
02:20with DPWH Batangas 2nd District
02:23on the repair of canals in Lungsod.
02:26The flood will reach Gutter Deep at 3 p.m.
02:29on DJPMM Access Road.
02:32For the time being,
02:33this part of Balangakatandala Spillway
02:36is not allowed for motorists to pass.
02:39Aside from the heavy rain,
02:41the girder or beam of the road is also being repaired.
02:44According to MDRRMO,
02:46the heavy rain from the spillway
02:48also reached the area
02:50and it was again allowed for residents and motorists
02:53to pass at 7 p.m.
02:59Maris, until now,
03:01Batangas PDRRMO and CDRRMC
03:03have been monitoring
03:05all possible houses,
03:07especially now that the rain
03:09continues to fall here in Batangas.
03:11Maris?
03:12Thank you very much, Denise Abante of GMA Regional TV.
