00:00Because of the heavy rain in some places in Metro Manila,
00:03some motorists, employees and vendors were affected by the flood.
00:07EJ Gomez, Bea Pinlac and James Agustin brought the latest news.
00:14The rain that fell in Quezon City before 11 o'clock last night was devastating.
00:18The roads were flooded, just like in Maria Clara Street.
00:21The water level in this area is also high, in Tudumigo Avenue.
00:25In Enes Amoranto Street, Patagos and Araneta Avenue,
00:28the light vehicles could not pass.
00:30One of the cars was submerged in the water,
00:32while another truck could not make it.
00:35The other motorists just returned.
00:37We couldn't make it.
00:39We were the only ones who could pass.
00:40There was a car there.
00:41Half of us.
00:42We couldn't make it.
00:44Maimai drowned in the water,
00:46along with her husband.
00:48The flood reached the house,
00:50and they were watching the store.
00:51That's why they took some of their belongings.
00:53We are just used to it.
00:56We are just looking for a place to live.
00:58But if it's a big flood,
01:00we will be scared.
01:02But if it's just a small one,
01:04we can still make it.
01:06It was past 3 o'clock in the early morning
01:08when the heavy rain fell on Payatas Road.
01:10The visibility was almost zero.
01:12The situation was also the same on some parts of Commonwealth Avenue.
01:15The rain also fell heavily on Elliptical Road.
01:18It also flooded this part of Araneta Avenue.
01:21Several trucks tried to pass.
01:23Many light vehicles avoided and crossed other routes.
01:26Some were riding bicycles and motorcycles.
01:28Some of them were discarded.
01:30Some even tried to push their motorcycles.
01:33Most of them were forced to go back to their jobs.
01:36It's hard.
01:38The water is deep there.
01:40You can't go back.
01:42It's really hard.
01:44We can't go back now.
01:46It's really hard.
01:48We can't go anywhere.
01:50What happened to your motorcycle?
01:52It's broken. It's deep.
01:54The rain didn't stop.
01:56That's why the water level is slowly rising.
02:00Even though he's used to it,
02:02it still hurts the pockets of tricycles and jeepney drivers.
02:04Whenever the weather is bad,
02:06they are forced to cross the road.
02:08I don't have a passenger in my hand.
02:10I don't have a boundary.
02:12I don't have anything to feed my family.
02:14I don't have anything to earn.
02:16Do you still have a passenger?
02:18For now, it's rare.
02:20There are no students.
02:22There are no students.
02:24It's a huge shortage.
02:26Not all of them have passengers.
02:30Some are working.
02:32Others don't want to pass.
02:34We met with George.
02:36He's enduring the rain and the flood
02:38to get home from work.
02:40He only wore slippers
02:42and the umbrella he used
02:44was just a bubble wrap sheet on the road.
02:46When I saw this,
02:48I threw it away.
02:50I don't want it to get wet.
02:52Do you just walk home?
02:54Yes, we just walk.
02:56Why?
02:58We don't have a budget.
03:00Early in the morning,
03:02several residents were alerted
03:04and monitored the situation in Marikina River
03:06due to the heavy rain.
03:08Just like Father Josel,
03:10who went to the river
03:12before going to work this morning.
03:14I also monitor the water level
03:16so that when I'm at work,
03:18I can be prepared
03:20if there's a flood.
03:22Even though he's improvising,
03:24he's wearing full gear
03:26and a bicycle.
03:28Even though the water level
03:30in Marikina River is high,
03:32when there's heavy rain,
03:34some residents still come here
03:36to catch fish
03:38using their improvised fishing nets
03:40like this one.
03:42Earlier,
03:44we talked about their catch.
03:46These are tilapia
03:48for their breakfast.
03:50We caught more than 20 tilapia
03:52just to feed our family.
03:54We're just being careful.
03:56If it's heavy rain,
03:58we'll just swim
04:00because it's a waste.
04:02There are also some parts of the road
04:04where you can see
04:06the water flowing from the river.
