00:00We will interview Edgar De La Cruz, Hydro Forecaster from Pag-asa. Sir Edgar, good morning.
00:08Good morning also, sir.
00:10What time did the water start flowing from Lamesa Dam and what level is the water now?
00:16Earlier at 5am, it started flowing at 80.16 meters.
00:25Earlier at 6am, we reported an elevation of 80.19 meters.
00:3480.19, so it increased even more. So the flow continues?
00:38Yes, it increased by 3 centimeters since 5am.
00:48Sir Edgar, it is still raining and it is expected to continue for the next few hours. What is the scenario if it continues to rain?
00:57If it continues to rain, the elevation of Lamesa Dam might still increase.
01:05The people along the Tulyahan River need to be alert because there might be floods in the water that flows from Lamesa Dam.
01:23You mentioned the people along the Tulyahan River. Can we be more specific? What are the LGUs and barangays that will be affected?
01:34Here in Quezon City, Fairview, Forest Hill Subdivision, Tirino Highway, Santa Cateria and San Bartolome,
01:51Valenzuela, Barangay Ligon, North Expressway, Huerta Subdivision and Malabut.
02:02If that's the case, will you issue a notice to evacuate those who might be affected, Sir Edgar?
02:10Yes. Actually, we already issued flood bulletins in the Tulyahan River.
02:18This is included in the hydrological situation that we are issuing.
02:26Yes. The Tulyahan River is also close to a critical level. The water level is 12.3 meters. Is this the effect of flooding in Lamesa Dam?
02:36Yes. The effects of flooding in Lamesa Dam and the floods that we are experiencing are combined.
02:45That's why the water level is increasing along the Tulyahan River.
02:50Okay. Let's repeat. For our Kapuso, those who are living along the Tulyahan River in Quezon City and Valenzuela, the water level is increasing.
03:00Let's monitor and be careful. Sir Edgar de la Cruz, thank you very much.
03:06Good morning. Thank you very much.
