00:00Some residents who live near the Marikina River seem to have left early because the rainwater level is rising.
00:07Let's update on the first live news of EJ Gomez. EJ.
00:15Egan, here in Marikina City, this is the first time we are experiencing this.
00:20But earlier, the rain here was strong and continuous.
00:23The water level here in Marikina River has reached 14.4 meters.
00:29Egan, compared to two hours ago, the water level here in August is stronger.
00:39Early in the morning, several residents were alerted and monitored the situation in Marikina River
00:45due to the strong rain.
00:46Just like Father Josel, who went to the river before going to work this morning.
00:52I also monitor the water level so that even when I'm at work,
00:56I chat with my wife to make sure that I'm ready in case something happens.
01:02Even though he's improvised, he's also wearing full gear, especially that he's riding a bicycle while traveling.
01:07Even though the water level here in Marikina River is strong,
01:11if it continues to be like this and the rain is strong,
01:14some residents are still visiting here to temporarily catch fish
01:19using their improvised fishing nets, just like this net.
01:23Earlier, we talked about their catch.
01:27These are tilapia for their breakfast.
01:31We caught more than 20 tilapia.
01:33Their family just eats them.
01:35We just take care of them.
01:37If the rain is strong, we just monitor the situation because it's a waste.
01:44At 5 a.m. earlier, Marikina LGU declared that the face-to-face classes
01:50will be held in all public and private schools here in the city.
01:54Asynchronous classes will be held.
01:57There are also some parts of the road where the water is already flowing from the river.
02:07Because the water is already flowing from the river to the side of the road,
02:17the people riding bicycles, motorcycles and cars cannot pass through.
02:22The same is true for the water that flows from the river to the side of the road.
02:28The water also flows directly to the garbage that reaches up to the Pasig River,
02:34which is connected to this river.
02:36Here is the first news from Marikina, EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
