00:00Many barangays in Las Piñas were allowed to cross the river until a while ago.
00:04Many motorists were stranded, especially those going home to Cavite.
00:09First news is from James Agustin.
00:14At 3 am, the Zapote Junction in Las Piñas was still submerged in the river.
00:18Many people were walking on the steep river.
00:21Their bicycles and motorcycles were pushed.
00:24One of its motorcyclists was helped by residents who were able to cross the river.
00:29Someone used a rubber boat and a boat.
00:31Meanwhile, a passenger jeep crashed in the middle of the river.
00:34Many motorists were stranded and were waiting for the Zapote flyover.
00:39Richmond came from work in Pasay and was going home to Noveleta, Cavite.
00:43He has been waiting for more than an hour.
00:45It's hard because we can only cross the river.
00:49We just have to get on the boat and wait for the river to subside.
00:55Nelson's situation is the same.
00:57He was able to go home to General Tries, Cavite.
00:59We just have to wait for the river to subside so that the motorcyclists can be patient tomorrow.
01:06It's already late.
01:06Yes, it's already late.
01:08There's still a flight tomorrow.
01:09Some residents were forced to cross the river.
01:12Like Erwin, who walked from Bacoon to Las Piñas.
01:16It's okay, but it's really in the way of the workers.
01:22That's all.
01:24How high is the water level?
01:25It's higher than here in Bewang, Hita.
01:29There are many stranded people there.
01:31It's hard.
01:32The drainage needs to be fixed.
01:34That's the only solution.
01:36Increase the drainage so that the water can flow better.
01:41Even though the businesses are affected,
01:43the water that Aileen is bringing in has already entered.
01:46When the water reaches here, it will flow directly.
01:50When the water reaches here, it will immediately enter.
01:56Do you have customers?
01:58We used to have customers.
02:00When the water level is high, we don't do that anymore.
02:02We stopped providing food.
02:04We will just clean the area.
02:06After that, we will open again.
02:08According to the Las Piñas CDRMO,
02:1110 out of 20 barangays experienced flooding.
02:15More than one and a half hours of heavy rain.
02:1721 families in 2 barangays needed to be evacuated.
02:21We have barangays that are flooded up to Bewang.
02:31It started on or before 10 p.m.
02:35The rain was really heavy.
02:37That's the big factor that increased the flooding in Las Piñas.
02:43This is the first news.
