00:04Why? Let's find out in the first news live of Bea Pinglan.

00:13Susan, for now, the amount of water here is not high yet.
00:17But according to some residents, since the end of June,
00:21the flooding has been increasing.
00:25After the Tangostanza floodgate was destroyed in June.
00:33The family of Mary Jane cannot sleep
00:37because they are worried that the water will reach their house.
00:42They say that the water quickly enters their house during high tide.
00:46And sometimes, they even have to lie down while they sleep.
00:52We can't sleep anymore.
00:56We have to lie down.
00:58We have to move our things.
01:02We have to put them on the table.
01:04We are really affected.
01:06Fernando, on the other hand,
01:08admitted that it is a bigger problem than their daily life
01:13since the floodgate was destroyed.
01:15But he says that they are used to it.
01:18It's difficult because the water level is high.
01:22That's why the people here are trying to survive.
01:27But there's nothing we can do.
01:30Of course, the people here are used to it.
01:33The effect on the well-being of his family
01:36is the main concern of Federico.
01:39Especially now that there are more cases of leptospirosis.
01:43Of course, the water level is high.
01:48It's a canal.
01:50The MMDA's target is to fix the destroyed floodgate this August.
01:54The floodgate was destroyed last June
01:56when a large barge went ashore during low tide.
02:00According to Navotas Mayor John Raytianco,
02:02even if it takes a long time,
02:04they are still trying to fix the navigational gate.
02:08Some of the challenges they are facing in fixing it
02:12are the time and the sea.
02:21Susan, some of the residents we talked to here
02:24are ready if the water level rises again today.
02:29And that's the first news from Navotas.
