00:00The number of people affected by Hurricane Karina and Butsoy, according to NDRMC, rose to 39.

00:09The effects of the floods, which were reported on August 5, affected their schools.

00:14Witnesses, Marie Zumal.

00:20A heap of garbage was collected at Vicente P. Trinidad National High School in Valenzuela the following year.

00:27Teachers, students, parents, and the local government helped clean up the area.

00:34The water level suddenly rose, so we still have a lot of work to do.

00:42But according to our LGU, the trucks are on their way.

00:49Valenzuela City is in a state of calamity, and the school was closed on August 5.

00:54The cleaning work at Valenzuela National High School, which was used as an evacuation center, was also in a state of calamity.

01:00And at Malabon Elementary School, which was flooded with water to remove the debris.

01:05There is still flood in front of Dampalit Elementary School.

01:08Some fish are swimming there.

01:11As you can see, the distance between the school and Dampalit Elementary School is only a few meters.

01:18Because of the heavy rain and the high tide, the water level here suddenly rose.

01:26That's why this school, here in Malabon, was affected by the flood.

01:31It was really high, up to the ceiling.

01:35The four classrooms were flooded.

01:37The cleaning continues inside.

01:39We want this to remain clean because this is what we were taught.

01:47We want it to remain clean.

01:49Flooding in Metro Manila can be reduced, but it cannot be completely avoided, according to the DPWH.

01:55That is if the Flood Control Master Plan, which was approved in 2012, is completed.

02:00I think 70 percent, 70-80 percent, including here in the drainage program inside Metro Manila,

02:11we will be addressing the debris and our settlers.

02:17More than 5,000 flood control projects were completed under the term of President Bombo Marcos,

02:23including those that were continued since the last administration.

02:27656 of these are in Metro Manila.

02:30A large part of the projects are being carried out to fix the drainage,

02:35which has been designed for several decades, and 70 percent of it has been repaired.

02:39The President also ordered more water impounding systems to be installed from high places.

02:46For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali, your witness.

02:52Kapuso, let's all be witnesses.
