00:00Almost four parts of the Pasig River crossed the critical level of the San Juan River.
00:08There, a man watched live from San Juan, Joseph Moro.
00:15Emil, there's no electricity but the flood continues here in San Juan.
00:21Yesterday, the San Juan River was flooded in the town of San Juan and nearby areas.
00:26A man was also lost after the river overflowed.
00:37A man who was watched by the flood is being searched by the Bureau of Fire Protection in San Juan.
00:43But due to the strong flow of water, he's almost invisible.
00:47There it is, it's sinking.
00:49It's about to reach the shore.
00:51The BFP members are on their way to the rescue.
00:54But the man didn't make it.
00:56According to the BFP, they were able to reach the man stuck on a tree.
00:59He was given a life vest.
01:01We'll be able to reach him.
01:03He jumped from the tree.
01:05We don't know, maybe it was too strong in August.
01:08The rescue teams from the Bureau of Fire Protection in San Juan were waiting here
01:12for the man they saw, who was wearing a life vest.
01:15But before they could reach the man stuck on a tree,
01:18the man sank and was no longer visible.
01:21He sank and was no longer visible by our BFP, our rescue teams.
01:27The man was caught under a tree.
01:29He was able to hold on to it, but he was no longer visible.
01:32The San Juan River has a strong flow, especially when it rains heavily.
01:37As you can see in this video, the strong flow of rain is in the Pasig area.
01:44The San Juan River is now flowing at the boundary of San Juan, Santa Mesa, in Manila.
01:49It has already crossed the 14.65-meter level.
01:53It's only at the critical level of 13 meters.
01:55It's just in the afternoon.
01:57Residents who are trying to escape have their belongings and dogs with them.
02:02This backhoe that is being used as a dredger in the river is also in danger.
02:07The river is also flooding the neighboring barangay, San Perfecto.
02:11Even if the rain is heavy, the BFP volunteers continue to rescue the trapped residents.
02:19It's deep to the lake.
02:21Is there still a lot of people there?
02:23There are still a lot of people there because they are just in the second floor of their house.
02:29In San Juan Gym, more than 1,000 residents or more than 200 families were evacuated from San Juan.
02:35They were given food and clothes.
02:37Some of them were lucky enough to be placed in temporary shelters.
02:43According to San Juan LGU, there are 14 out of 21 barangays that were flooded.
02:49They asked for additional rescue boats and rescuers from MMGA.
02:53San Juan LGU is asking for more residents to be evacuated until there is time.
02:58The donation center is open for the people who want to donate to San Juan City Hall.
03:04They need ready-to-eat food, clothes, blankets, diapers, and water.
03:10Public and private workers are not allowed to enter San Juan.
03:19Thank you very much, Joseph Morong.
