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.
