00:25The winds of Habagat and Baguiong Karina were blowing in different parts of Luzon.

00:30Thousands of residents were stranded and had to be evacuated from their homes.

00:36Because of the widespread flooding, Metro Manila was placed under a state of calamity.

00:40Aside from Metro Manila, it was also declared as a town of Intarizal,

00:45as well as the entire province of Cavite and Batangas.

00:49They need emergency funds to help the affected residents.

00:54There are other places that are still under a state of calamity

00:58because of the recent storm Butchoy,

01:00such as Pinamalayan Oriental Mindoro,

01:03Jose Abad Santos,

01:04Davao Occidental,

01:05and the towns of Cabacan and Tikit in Cotabato.

01:08According to the latest NDRRMC data,

01:12more than 245,000 families were affected by the storm Butchoy,

01:17Karina, and Hanging Habagat.

01:20Eight were confirmed to be infected.

01:22Six were for validation.

01:24More than two and a half million pesos were lost to the houses,

01:28while almost ten million pesos were lost to agriculture.

01:32After the flood yesterday,

01:34heavy rainwater hit the residents of Marikina City.

01:39Mark Makalalad of Super Radio DZBB has the latest on the spot.

01:42Mark?

01:44Heavy rainwater hit the trees, garbage, and other areas.

01:49This is what was left by the flood in some areas of Marikina

01:54after heavy rainwater poured.

01:57In the area of Super Radio DZBB,

02:00the residents of Barangay Malanday are in trouble

02:04because they don't know how to clean.

02:07The branches are too thick and hard to remove.

02:11Their story is that as time passed,

02:14they quickly left the evacuation center to clean.

02:18They also checked the equipment that they requested to be salvaged

02:21if it can still be used.

02:23Currently, they are appealing for help from the local government

02:26to clean their area.

02:28They will need fire trucks for the flushing operations

02:32or the flushing of water.

02:34They also need shovels to carry garbage and garbage.

02:39Aside from Barangay Malanday,

02:41heavy rainwater also hit Barangay IVC,

02:44where people also passed yesterday.

02:47According to the local government,

02:49they are starting to clean the affected areas of Matinding Puti.

02:57Meanwhile, let's update on Marikina River.

03:00The water level has dropped to 15.4 meters as of 7 a.m.

03:07This is a sign of the first alarm.

03:09Yesterday, the highest water level in Marikina River

03:14was recorded in the third alarm.

03:19Because of this, more than 30,000 people were evacuated

03:25from evacuation centers in Marikina.

03:29Back to you Connie.

03:31Yes. Mark, we just talked to Mayor Marcy Teodoro

03:34and she said that even though our countrymen are returning to Marikina,

03:39there are still a lot of problems in cleaning.

03:43What assistance can the local government provide

03:47so that they can return to their homes?

03:54Of course, do they have a place to stay

03:57because of the diseases they have brought?

03:59You're right Connie.

04:01You know that you have been visiting evacuation centers.

04:04A lot of people who evacuated yesterday

04:07are returning to their homes.

04:09According to Mayor Marcy Teodoro,

04:13she will immediately send people who are available

04:17and also their resources to be used in cleaning.

04:21This is as of now or in the near future,

04:23because she has seen the problem

04:27and the particulate matter in the main roads.

04:30In addition to the assistance that will be provided to the residents,

04:33the food that was provided to the affected people

04:36of Paguio and Habagat,

04:38they will also receive medicines for leptospirosis

04:42for the health of the residents and to prevent diseases.

04:46Yes. We also heard that more than 30,000 individuals

04:50were evacuated from Marikina.

04:52Regarding those 30,000,

04:54Mark, do we have data on how many are still staying

04:59in evacuation centers

05:01because they have not been able to return to their homes?

05:04Yes.

05:05As of now, more than 30,000 have been evacuated.

05:09What Mayor Marcy Teodoro is showing us

05:12is that more than 30 evacuation centers in the city.

05:17They can still fly to their homes

05:21but they will also receive assistance

05:26for the affected residents.

05:28All right. Thank you very much.

05:30Mark Makalalad of Superadio DZBB.

05:33A heavy downpour was allowed in Marcos Highway last night

05:38while more than 1,000 people from Antipolo, Rizal

05:41were evacuated from evacuation centers

05:43because of the bad weather.

05:44This is the news of James Agustin.

05:50After 11 p.m. last night,

05:51there was still heavy downpour in this part of Marcos Highway in Antipolo.

05:55The motorists were driving slowly.

05:58One of the motorists was on a rubber boat.

06:01Because there were no vehicles,

06:03many of them were forced to jump into the river.

06:05Princess and Myrbeline are from Quinta.

06:08They were brave enough to walk to their homes.

06:11It was very tiring.

06:13We just got home from work.

06:18It was tough.

06:19We just got home from work.

06:21We were standing and it was wet.

06:23Leo was pushing his motorbike for four hours

06:26just to get out of the water.

06:28It was very difficult.

06:29The motorbike just jumped into the water.

06:33It was really dangerous.

06:34The taxi that Mar was driving

06:36was standing for more than 16 hours on Marcos Highway.

06:40He was waiting for the water to reach their garage.

06:43It was early in the morning.

06:45It was just starting to rise.

06:49That's why I was able to get through.

06:51I was even able to U-turn.

06:52Outside of a subdivision,

06:54the flow of water is very visible.

06:56The water has already entered the first floor of some houses.

06:59There's a part for people to pass through.

07:01Sometimes, other people pass through here.

07:03Up to here.

07:05Are the residents here?

07:07Yes, they are in the evacuation center.

07:10Did the water rise quickly?

07:12Yes, earlier.

07:13It was very fast.

07:14Because it was low earlier.

07:17Then, around 4 p.m., it rose very high.

07:23Until late at night,

07:24the authorities were following the rescue boat.

07:28According to the Antipolo CDRRMO,

07:3015 barangays in Lungsod were affected by the flood.

07:34250 families,

07:36equivalent to more than 1,100 individuals,

07:40were evacuated to 24 evacuation centers.

07:43Modular tents were built for the evacuees.

07:47James Agustin reporting for GMA Integrated News.

07:52More than 14,000 families were evacuated

07:54due to the widespread flooding in Quezon City.

07:57The part of E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue

07:59that reached Lampas Tao was also flooded.

08:04EJ Gomez reports.

08:10The length of E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue in Quezon City

08:13was reduced to a river

08:15because of the strong and almost non-stop rain yesterday.

08:18The flood reached Lampas Tao.

08:20The first floor of the houses was submerged.

08:22That's why the residents were quickly evacuated.

08:25The evacuees reached the second floor.

08:30The water level rose very fast.

08:32We took the others inside their houses.

08:36What was almost coming out,

08:39was their heads.

08:42Their heads were stuck together.

08:46Most of the people rescued

08:47were families living near the flooded river.

08:50Children, pregnant women,

08:53PWD, elderly people,

08:57most of them needed to be taken to the hospital.

09:02The others that we rescued

09:05were stuck together.

09:09This man was caught in the rain

09:12while riding in a rescue boat.

09:15The affected residents

09:17don't know how they will recover

09:19from the effects of the flood.

09:21The clothing store that Jamil works at

09:23was not saved from the flood.

09:25It's very sad.

09:27There are a lot of things that can't be sold.

09:32It was rejected.

09:34It's hard because it's very frustrating.

09:37It's hard because it's very tiring.

09:39We felt fear and trauma.

09:43The Araneta Avenue was also flooded yesterday.

09:46This is the first image of the scene

09:49here in the Araneta Avenue.

09:51The water level is still rising.

09:55Here on my side,

09:57this taxi is parked on the side of the road.

10:00But because of the strong and unceasing rain

10:03and the fast rising of the water level,

10:05this is the position of this taxi.

10:09Father Amado, who is 65 years old,

10:11was also traumatized.

10:13Father, how are you here during the flood?

10:16Now, I have experienced

10:19that the water level here is this high.

10:22Our equipment was damaged,

10:25including the machines.

10:29Even our clothes were wet.

10:32The car also collapsed.

10:34Our office was also damaged.

10:36Father Amado asked for help from the government.

10:40According to the local government,

10:42more than 14,000 families

10:45or more than 50,000 individuals

10:47need to be rescued from the impact of the Karina Flood.

10:50EJ Gomez reports for GMA Integrated News.

10:55Because of the wide-ranging flood effects

10:58of the Habagat and Karina Floods,

11:00there are still suspensions in schools and jobs this Thursday.

11:04There is no access to all government jobs

11:07and classes in public and private schools

11:09in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon.

11:13According to the Malacanang Bureau,

11:15the rescue, emergency, and health services agencies

11:18will continue their operations.

11:21The decision is being made by the private sector

11:24if they will let their employees in.

11:28As for motorists,

11:29the number coding scheme in Metro Manila is still suspended

11:33according to the MMDA.

11:37Many flights were canceled due to bad weather.

11:41Domestic flights, including flights from Davao and Cagayan de Oro to Manila,

11:45as well as flights to Manila-Basco, Manila,

11:48and Manila-Tuguegarao, Manila.

11:50Flights to and from Manila and Cagayan de Oro to Legazpi,

11:59Also to Naga and San Jose.

12:02As for Visayas,

12:15Some flights to Cagayan de Oro and Davao,

12:19as well as to Butuan, Sambuanga, General Santos, Dipolog, Pagadian, and Siargao.

12:27Yesterday,

12:28Naya Terminal 4 was temporarily closed due to flooding.

12:32A flight from Vietnam was diverted to Clark Airport.

12:37To the Philippines!

12:43Kapuso, the Philippine Area of Responsibility is out of the storm.

12:48According to the forecast,

12:49the storm has passed through the north of Itbayat, Batanes.

12:53It has a force of 150 kmph,

12:56a force of 185 kmph,

12:59and a speed of 20 kmph.

13:02At the moment,

13:03Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 is only in Batanes.

13:06Even if the storm is already outside Par,

13:09it will continue to push the strong winds

13:13that will continue to bring rain in some areas of the country,

13:16including Metro Manila.

13:18According to Metro Weather,

13:19some areas in the north and central Luzon will experience intense rainfall.

13:24It will be moderate to severe rainfall in some areas.

13:28Other parts of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao

13:31will experience moderate to severe rainfall.

13:35In the next few hours,

13:37that is also the expected time in a large part of Metro Manila.

13:41According to the forecast,

13:42it will reach 590.1 mm.

13:46There will be a lot of rain in Metro Manila and Laloigan

13:50due to the strong winds of Tropical Storm Carina

13:54from Monday morning until Wednesday afternoon,

13:57or 58 hours.

14:02We will talk to Chris Perez,

14:04the Assistant Weather Services Chief of Pag-asa.

14:07Good morning and welcome back to Balitang Hali.

14:11Good morning, Connie,

14:12and to all of our listeners.

14:14Yes, sir. Chris, what are we expecting to be the time

14:17when Tropical Storm Carina is already outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility?

14:23Connie, even though Tropical Storm Carina is already outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility

14:26at 6.20 a.m.,

14:29the strong winds of Tropical Storm Carina

14:31reach up to 660 kilometers from its center.

14:35That's why the center is outside the park

14:37but it is still surrounded by the Batanes area

14:40by the strong winds.

14:41That's why we still have the Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1

14:44here in Laloigan, Batanes.

14:46Our countrymen are hoping that the rain

14:49and sometimes the strong winds will subside.

14:51Meanwhile, the continued strong winds of Tropical Storm Carina

14:55will continue to make Habagat home,

14:57even though the strong rains are still expected,

15:00especially in Laloigan,

15:01here in the Candurang part of Luzon, Connie.

15:03Okay, in your mentioned reports,

15:06the amount of rain reached 590.1 millimeters

15:11due to the loss of Habagat due to Tropical Storm Carina.

15:16What comparison should we make here?

15:18Because you are saying that it should not be compared to Tropical Storm Ondoy

15:21because it is also Habagat.

15:23I think it was 2012, if I remember correctly.

15:26Well, Connie, the first thing we mentioned was 593 millimeters of rain.

15:31It broke the monthly record of normal rainfall

15:36here in Science Garden, Quezon City.

15:38So it means that there was a lot of rain

15:40due to the loss of Habagat here in Metro Manila

15:44in this current episode of the loss of Carina.

15:47Now, in terms of comparison,

15:49because usually our countrymen compare the storm to Habagat,

15:53this is a different weather system

15:55although it was the same that caused the rain.

15:57If we look at our historical data,

16:00in terms of Ondoy,

16:02let's go back to Ondoy,

16:04Ondoy caused more than 300 millimeters of rain

16:07in just 6 hours.

16:09This current Habagat episode

16:12reached around 18 hours

16:14before it reached around 300 millimeters of rain.

16:18So if we look at the strength, the rain was stronger

16:21brought by Ondoy because it was a storm compared to Habagat.

16:24Now, the similarity with another Habagat episode

16:27that we saw in 2012,

16:29there was a storm that had almost the same location

16:32as with Typhoon Carina

16:34and the enhancement of Habagat was almost the same.

16:37Although, that Habagat episode in 2012

16:42and the Habagat episode in 2024

16:44had almost the same scenario,

16:46there was more rainfall or the rainfall was faster

16:49that was caused by the Ondoy storm in 2009.

16:52I see, okay.

16:53But is this going to be our new normal?

16:56Because it was said before that

16:58it will not happen again

17:00that strong and heavy rain after Ondoy

17:03and yet, we are here and we can see

17:05in Habagat only in 2012

17:07and again, it happened again in 2024.

17:10Connie, extreme weather events

17:12such as heavy rain or wind

17:15or heavy storm,

17:16sometimes we call it a return period.

17:18It can be every 10 years, 20 years.

17:20So, the return period of extreme weather events still varies.

17:24Sometimes, some of our countrymen call it a new normal.

17:27The best that we can do is to adapt.

17:29How can we adapt?

17:31We should always be aware of the weather and climate information

17:34that is being released by the government.

17:36Especially, if this is what we need to improve,

17:38inclement weather, typhoon

17:40or the upcoming storm

17:42during the second half of this year.

17:44So, the key to survival or adaptation

17:48in terms of weather and climate

17:51is the up-to-date information

17:55from a credible source

17:57that we can use for immediate action

18:00to avoid any hazard

18:02of this extreme weather or climate event

18:05that might affect us in the future.

18:07Okay, thank you very much for guiding us

18:10and for your update.

18:11As Assistant Weather Services Chief, Chris Perez.

18:15There is a price freeze in Metro Manila

18:18due to the occurrence of a state of calamity.

18:20According to the Department of Trade and Industry,

18:22the price freeze will be implemented for basic necessities

18:25including vegetables, rice, meat, oil, coffee,

18:29soap, detergent, candle, medicine, and others.

18:33It is said that the price of goods

18:35for affected residents during the storm

18:37can still reach far.

18:40According to the DTI,

18:42businesses that want to increase their prices

18:45can be fined or evicted.

18:53The price of tilapia

18:55in Buhi Fish Port in Camarines Sur

18:57dropped to Php 130 per kilo,

18:59which is only Php 20.

19:01According to the Lake Development Office,

19:03this is due to the occurrence of fish kills

19:05in Lake Buhi

19:06resulting from low dissolved oxygen.

19:08That is why the fish cage operators

19:10were forced to sell their fish cages.

19:12Despite the loss,

19:14it is better than nothing.

19:17It is estimated that 25 fish cage operators

19:20were affected by the incident.

19:22The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources

19:24conducted a water sampling

19:26to determine the cause of the fish kill.

19:31Meanwhile, a man was killed

19:33when he was cycling

19:35after bumping into a post in Kalasaw, Pangasinan.

19:37According to the CCTV,

19:39the man was riding a bicycle

19:41when he was suddenly chased by a dog.

19:43The chase lasted for almost half a kilometer.

19:46The man did not notice the post

19:48because he was looking at the chasing dog.

19:51According to the barangay council,

19:53there is no promise that the dog is the owner.
