00:00A few places in Rizal were hit by a heavy rainstorm.
00:04Let's update on the situation there live from Rizal, Mahinang Manita, EJ Gomez. EJ?
00:15Susan, we went to a few places in the province of Rizal, particularly in Antipolo City and here in Rodriguez.
00:23Let's find out the situation of our fellow countrymen as the rain continues to fall in the country.
00:36This is the scene in Sitio Laan, Rodriguez, Rizal this Friday.
00:40The water in the ditch was flooded with garbage.
00:44According to the uploader, Jenny Tagadtad,
00:46their area is being filled with garbage from the nearby sitio.
00:52Those who live on the side or near the ditch are worried that their houses may be flooded by the heavy rain.
00:59The smell of garbage is so bad that it hurts my nose.
01:03I'm really crying for us, not just for myself.
01:08I can see the garbage falling on my neighbor's house.
01:13I'm so nervous that I can't even laugh. It's been almost a week.
01:17Earlier this morning, the rain was heavy in Rodriguez, Rizal.
01:21Almost zero visibility in some streets.
01:23The rain in Antipolo City is also heavy.
01:26If the weather is this bad, it's problematic for some drivers of public vehicles.
01:31Their income is low, especially since classes are suspended in schools.
01:36According to Alfie, a tricycle driver,
01:38the average income of 800 pesos in yesterday's trip may be only 500 pesos.
01:44I can't avoid Rodriguez because it's flooded.
01:47Sometimes, when I go out, it's flooded.
01:50But I still need to travel because it's for my family.
01:53I can eat everyday.
01:56Juven, a vendor, also noticed that there are fewer customers when there's a storm and continuous rain.
02:02They don't dare to go out because it's raining.
02:04So if it's just inside their house, they can handle it.
02:08There are some who are working hard to earn money and have a place to go home to their family.
02:12Just like Rayan, a vendor of pandesal.
02:15It's okay if it's still early in the morning.
02:19But in the afternoon, when people go out, it's okay.
02:29Susan, we tried to go to Sapa,
02:33where the water level is high, along with the garbage in Sicolaan.
02:38But from the cemented road to the rough road, cars can't enter.
02:44It's dangerous for our team.
02:46The residents there called for rescuing the residents near Sapa.
02:52Meanwhile, here behind me,
02:54you can see the high water level in this river,
02:58which is part of the Marikina River because of the continuous rain.
03:03That's the first news from Rodriguez Rizal, EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
03:33EJ, thank you.
