00:00Some streets in Quezon City are still flooded. Let's update on the spot of Ivan Mayrina.
00:05Ivan?
00:10Yes, Connie. One of the floods up to this time is what I'm standing in Quezon Avenue, Canton of Araneta Avenue.
00:19But before I describe the situation here in what I'm standing in,
00:23we went around earlier because we also took a few detours to get here.
00:27Just nearby, on Mother Ignatia Avenue, there are also a lot of flooded areas.
00:33That's what you can see. That's Mother Ignatia in the direction of EDSA.
00:39There are a lot of cars that got swept away. We saw two cars that got swept away.
00:45One of them got stuck. One of them didn't get towed. The other got towed.
00:51Fortunately, the drivers of those cars were saved.
00:54They were surprised by the sudden flood.
00:57Earlier this morning, it was past nine o'clock, Connie.
01:00And in the other direction, towards Timog Avenue, Mother Ignatia, the situation is the same.
01:06But the barangay has a truck to give a warning to the drivers that this will not happen again.
01:14Meanwhile, Connie, here in what we're standing in, in Araneta Avenue, near Quezon Avenue,
01:20we were told by the residents there, especially those near Maria Clara,
01:26that it's been over two years since the flood reached their homes.
01:32A rescue worker we talked to earlier said that
01:36it's only one step away from the second floor of their homes.
01:43And we can see here, let's show the residents here,
01:47what kind of flotation devices they can get.
01:50There are inflatable beds, there are interior wheels, there are styrofoam.
01:56That's what they use as a cover
01:59so that they can get in and out towards our area,
02:05outside, here in the dry land, because there's no flood here.
02:09As a matter of fact, Connie, our set-up here at GM Integrated News was there earlier.
02:15But as time passed, the water level kept rising,
02:19so we ended up here, almost in the corner of Quezon Avenue.
02:24This northbound ramp of the Skyway here in Quezon Avenue,
02:28it's been closed since 9 o'clock in the morning
02:32because of the flood, it's impossible to all types of vehicles.
02:37So my fellow countrymen, if you have a walkway and you really need to leave your house,
02:41please check your routes first.
02:43Some roads may be impassable on your route.
02:47And the other residents, Connie, we can see here,
02:50they took out some of their belongings here in the center island, here in Araneta Avenue.
02:55But so far, we haven't heard that they need to be rescued.
02:59There are rescue workers here, but what they're saying is
03:02they still don't want to rescue the residents, they don't want to leave their homes.
03:07Connie, that's the latest situation from here in Araneta Avenue. Back to you.
03:11Ivan, we can see the garbage bags on your back.
03:17Is there anyone who is cleaning or just cleaning, because we know that it's one of the reasons for the flood.
03:26It's not cleaning, Connie, it's just picking up garbage.
03:29Because the people here, of course, it's a mess.
03:32Earlier, they were picking up some tires, some pieces of wood.
03:36They can use it as a component for their damaged houses, even if it's damaged.
03:41But your question is, is anyone cleaning?
03:44No, because as we can see, they're still picking up garbage.
03:47There are still some coming from the inside of the corners,
03:51the different types of garbage that are floating because of the rapid rise of the flood, Connie.
03:58The video that you showed earlier, half of it, I think it was an SUV, Ivan.
04:05Is that in the area of Panay? Is that what we saw?
04:10If you know, it's like a fleet. In our fleet, Connie, it's a fleet of Mother Ignatia to EDSA.
04:19It's really a flood, but even the people there were surprised by the rapid rise of the flood earlier.
04:25The driver, we haven't been able to talk to him, he said that the driver fainted.
04:30He thought that his car would still be able to handle it.
04:33The rapid rise of the flood earlier at 8 in the morning, that's why it reached him.
04:39Don't go there. Thank you very much for the update, Ivan Mayrina.
