00:00Some parts of EDSA were also flooded in Quezon City.
00:05The vehicles were also stranded.
00:07That's why the commuters rushed to the flood-stricken areas.
00:11And live from there, Mackie Polito was there.
00:14Mackie?
00:18You know, Connie, since 8 in the morning,
00:21the traffic in Edsa's part, here in Maymunyos Market, Quezon City,
00:27the traffic on both sides stopped.
00:29Southbound or going to Makati and northbound or going to Caloocan.
00:33But at 6 in the evening, the traffic started to move.
00:39The southbound traffic moved first, going to Makati.
00:42Because some were stranded, the water of Bahagia was overflowing.
00:47So some were stranded.
00:48The buses and trucks moved first.
00:51And when it got lower, the vehicles followed.
00:55After about 20 minutes, the northbound lane, going to Caloocan, followed.
01:01And as of now, as you can see on your screens,
01:05the traffic flow in this part of Maymunyos Market is really loose.
01:13The MMDA said earlier that the flood reached 27 inches
01:18through Maymunyos and Balintawak.
01:22That's why a lot of commuters just walked.
01:25The commuters who were forced to walk are really pitiful
01:29because the commuters drowned in the flood.
01:32Sometimes, while the rain was pouring heavily.
01:35Some of the people we talked to said that
01:38they will really try to reach their destination.
01:42That's why they were forced.
01:44They can also go to Center Island, but it's also difficult
01:47because the road is white.
01:49The flood reached Dewang.
01:51Some people still tried to get in because their salary is paid daily.
01:55We also talked to the people who were stranded in the vehicles.
01:59I said earlier that a delivery van was stuck in traffic at 8 a.m.
02:04They were supposed to be sent home by Bulacan.
02:06There's nothing they can do but wait for the flood to subside.
02:11Not far from where we are standing,
02:16there was also a flood on Del Monte Avenue.
02:20There was also no road in the vehicle.
02:22Earlier, the water reached the mouth of the river.
02:25The rescue boats kept coming in.
02:28These rescue teams are a combination of
02:32the Philippine National Police and the Bureau of Fire Protection.
02:36They were sent to West Riverside Street
02:42where the water reached the second floor.
02:46Those were the rescuers in that area.
02:50The people we talked to who were stranded
02:55thought that the heavy rain would stop
02:59so they didn't get stranded.
03:02But as time went by, the heavy rain continued
03:07so they reached the area and waited for the rescue.
03:12Let's listen to what some of the people we talked to said.
03:19The water is deep there.
03:21How deep?
03:22Up to here.
03:23I came from Vaisa.
03:25I was just walking.
03:26Why did you still swim?
03:28Because you can't abseil.
03:30Just hold on.
03:32What will happen if you don't go in now?
03:35We don't have money.
03:36I planned to rescue all of them
03:39so they wouldn't drown.
03:41When did you start getting stranded?
03:43We've been here for 8 days.
03:45We haven't been able to leave yet.
03:47We've been here for 2 days.
03:49We've only been here for 1 day.
03:53Now, it's been 3 days.
03:59That's the latest from Edsa, Muñoz, Quezon City.
04:04Thank you very much, Maki Polido.
