Transcript
00:00A few barangays were flooded in the city of Ravecija due to the heavy rain that poured this weekend.
00:075,000 residents were affected.
00:10Several residents were evacuated by boat.
00:13The floodwaters were not at the same time as the floodwaters in Malabon and Navotas.
00:19The water level is still high, especially with a high tide and the damaged floodgate has not been repaired yet.
00:24Mark Salazar is the witness.
00:26The beginning of the class in Navotas and Malabon, private or public, did not continue due to the flood.
00:38Aside from the heavy rain, the high tide is expected.
00:45In Malabon, it is expected to reach 1.9 meters this morning.
00:50This level of high tide can flood up to 3 to 5 inches on the street, which is why the classes are suspended.
00:59Also in Navotas, the floodwaters were gutter deep until 2 p.m.
01:04Like this in barangay Tanza 1 and 2.
01:07According to the MMDA, the high tide would not be a problem if this floodgate only works in the north Navotas pumping station.
01:15The high tide is a big help here.
01:18That's why we will operate and close the gate here to protect the Malabon and Navotas area.
01:25Due to the high tide, only 80% of the floodgates were operational for the past two years.
01:30A fishing vessel sank here, which is why it was completely destroyed.
01:35The dredging operation started earlier to remove the floodgate debris and garbage.
01:40The target is to finish the repair on August 16.
01:44The operation was suspended because it is important for the flood control of Navotas and Malabon.
01:52However, it seems that the target will not be operational on August 17.
01:58Because the problem of the damaged floodgate is not that simple.
02:03Continuous dredging. Now, they have a schedule for the repair activities.
02:11For now, only the floodgates in Malabon and Navotas are not open for classes today.
02:18For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
02:25Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
