00:00The city of Bacuor in Cavite is in a state of calamity.

00:04Many barangays have been flooded.

00:06John Consulta witnessed it.

00:11Ms. Glenly's house is the only one in the thousands of Peruvian houses

00:16that have been flooded in Cavite.

00:17Inside their house,

00:19up to 20 are flooded.

00:21Even their bathroom is submerged.

00:23That's why their equipment has been lifted so that it won't get wet.

00:28If it rains, it will flood right away.

00:31It's just that it's low in our area.

00:34In Panapaan Uno Barangay,

00:36the flood has doubled the number of residents

00:39in Mang Tetaho, Mang Jose.

00:41Aside from the water that entered his house,

00:43he hasn't been able to leave

00:44to find a way to make a living.

00:46We sell taho.

00:48We can't make a living because it's hard to go out.

00:53We have a heavy load.

00:56We don't have any income.

01:00I hope we can earn some money

01:02to buy rice.

01:05In the middle of a heavy downpour here in Bangor,

01:08we passed by Mang Tirso

01:10who has a bag

01:12while walking in the heavy rain.

01:14When we asked him,

01:16he was begging for food

01:18for his 5 children who were left in their house.

01:21I asked him if he was not afraid

01:23of the heavy rain.

01:25He replied,

01:26I'm afraid. I have a wound

01:28but we don't have anything to eat.

01:30I'm suffering from diarrhea.

01:32We don't have rice.

01:34I'm wearing slippers.

01:38I don't have slippers.

01:40I need to eat.

01:42More than 2,000 residents

01:44were evacuated to 21 evacuation centers

01:46in Makaur

01:48while the deployment of volunteer rescue units

01:50continues to evacuate the residents

01:52who will need help.

01:54We declare that Makaur is under

01:56a state of calamity.

01:58Many of our barangay,

02:00particularly in District 1,

02:02are flooded.

02:04Some of them still

02:06don't want to go to our evacuation center.

02:09Let's not take a risk.

02:11We can't say for sure

02:13that the rain will continue.
