00:00Due to the good weather today, the amount of water in the Marikina River is decreasing.
00:06Meanwhile, some residents who were evacuated started to go home due to the heavy rain yesterday.
00:13For more details, let's get an update from Bernard Ferrer. Live, Bernard.
00:18The water level of the Marikina River is continuously decreasing
00:24along with the good weather after the Philippine Area of Responsibility released the recent typhoon.
00:34In the latest monitoring of the Marikina Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office,
00:39the water level in the Marikina River is only at 14.8 meters.
00:45It is already at a normal level, which is why the residents who were evacuated are allowed to go home.
00:51According to the Marikina DRRMO, the good weather and the dredging project helped the water level to decrease rapidly.
01:01They suddenly admitted to the volume of rain that was poured on the city, but they were prepared to respond.
01:10In our experience, the amount of rain that was poured yesterday was very strong.
01:13In my personal experience here in Marikina, the amount of rain was even stronger.
01:19At present, 25,000 residents remain in evacuation centers while the majority are busy cleaning their homes that were hit by the typhoon.
01:31Marikina LGU was also given assistance, especially the six barangays that were most affected.
01:40Here in Marikina, we are very fortunate.
01:48We are helped, we do not have a hard time in following them on when to evacuate.
01:55There is no longer any casualty in Marikina, which is why they are also thankful for the active participation of the public.
02:02They are now giving medicine to those who drowned in the flood to avoid leptospirosis.
02:08The assessment of Marikina LGU will also continue to find out the actual effect of the typhoon earlier in Lungson.
02:16Back to you.
02:17Okay, so Bernard, all the evacuees have gone home to their residents.
02:22No one was left in the evacuation centers, Bernard.
02:28At present, the majority of the evacuees remain in the evacuation centers because they are still cleaning their homes that were hit by the typhoon
02:40after the water level rose here in Marikina River.
02:44What is the estimate of Marikina LGU on how long the evacuees will stay in the evacuation centers?
02:51And is the assistance that will be given to them sufficient, Bernard?
02:58Dianne, in terms of assistance, the assistance that will be given to the evacuated residents is sufficient.
03:05Actually, Dianne, if you look at it, the response of Marikina LGU was fast, even their recovery.
03:12That's why if you look here, when we entered Lungsod, the area is no longer clean and it is possible that almost all roads are here.
03:24Alright, thank you very much for the update, Bernard Ferrer.
