00:00The level of water in Marikina River quickly rose due to the strong and continuous rain.

00:05Because of this, several families were forced to evacuate.

00:09Find out the update in the news center of Ryan Leziguez, live.

00:17Angelic, even though there are families who have been evacuating since this morning,

00:22the Marikina City Mayor, Marcy Chodoro, is still persuading them.

00:25To the families who live in the lower areas,

00:29they are asking to evacuate as soon as possible

00:31so that the situation here will not continue to rise.

00:40According to the Marikina City Mayor, D. R. Remo Angelic,

00:44earlier this morning at 7 a.m.,

00:46they were able to count the maximum amount of rain

00:49that reached 200 millimeters in just one hour.

00:54Even though the Marikina River was not yet raised to the first alarm at 6 a.m.,

00:59the residents of Marikina started to evacuate

01:03who live in the lower areas.

01:05This is because of the unceasing rain caused by the Enteng typhoon.

01:09One of the early evacuees earlier was Jasmine,

01:13from Barangay Malanday.

01:14Her story is that there is still no flood water in their house,

01:18but she insisted on evacuating early

01:21because of the recent typhoon

01:23that caused the flood water to reach Quisa, Manila.

01:38Aside from some personal belongings,

01:40Jasmine also tried to bring her stocks from her Sari-Sari store.

01:49How about now? Is it closed?

01:52Yes, it's closed.

01:53What if you sell here?

01:55No, there might be no space upstairs.

01:57According to the Marikina City Mayor, D. R. Remo Angelic,

02:00earlier at 11 a.m.,

02:01more than 500 families evacuated from their homes.

02:07This is equivalent to almost 3,000 individuals.

02:10The local government of Marikina assured

02:13that all evacuees' needs are ready.

02:17The rescue equipment was also placed early.

02:20Earlier, PTV News reported

02:23that their rescue personnel are preparing their equipment.

02:27According to Dave David,

02:29the chief of Marikina City D. R. R. Remo,

02:31at 7.50 a.m. earlier,

02:33the Marikina River was raised to the first alarm.

02:36More than 30 minutes later,

02:39it was raised to the second alarm.

02:42We are monitoring the areas

02:45where the water level rose rapidly.

02:48Surface flooding.

02:49These are the areas on our street.

02:51This is the volume of water we received this morning.

02:55The rainfall was very high.

02:57In a matter of one hour,

02:59at 7 a.m.,

03:00it was 200 millimeters of rain.

03:02The total rainfall in our gauging stations

03:04was very high.

03:06That's what raised the water level rapidly.

03:10It was equivalent to the height of our river,

03:13roughly around 2 meters.

03:15As the water level continues to rise in the Marikina River,

03:19a forced evacuation can be carried out.

03:22The one that caused the earthquake earlier

03:24was rescued by more than 30,000 individuals

03:28because of the flood.

03:29At the third alarm, at 18 meters,

03:32we were forced evacuated.

03:34But the term forced evacuation

03:38does not happen anymore

03:40because people are evacuating as early as first alarm,

03:43second alarm.

03:44To prove that,

03:45we evacuated a lot.

03:47Almost 3,000 people were evacuated.

03:49That's what we evacuated at the evacuation center

03:51as early as 6 a.m.

03:53Angelic, at this time,

03:55the rain continues to fall here in Marikina City.

03:59But the good news is

04:01that the amount of rain that was falling here earlier

04:06was only around 50 millimeters.

04:12Just the same,

04:13the authorities are still taking care of the residents here.

04:17Earlier, at 9.40 a.m.,

04:19Angelic, the water level was at 17.1 meters

04:22here in Marikina River.

04:24But now,

04:25it's lower and it's only at 16.6 meters.

04:30It still remains at the second alarm

04:34of the authorities here.

04:36Angelic.

04:37Okay, so it looks like the water level is going down.

04:39Is that right, Ryan?

04:40Does this mean that the residents who evacuated

04:43can go home again?

04:50Well, Angelic, you're right.

04:52It's going down from 17.1.

04:54Now, the water level is at 16.6

04:58here in Marikina River.

04:59But your question is,

05:00is it possible for them to go home?

05:02Not yet.

05:03Because what Marikina City DRRMO is currently monitoring

05:08is crucial, Angelic.

05:10From this morning until later in the afternoon,

05:13because of the storm,

05:14it's only close to the mountains

05:17that are surrounding Marikina.

05:18Actually, if Angelic is honest,

05:20the amount of rain here in Marikina is not that strong.

05:25The amount of rain is strong

05:27for the nearby towns and the mountains near Marikina.

05:31The problem is that Marikina City becomes a catch basin.

05:35This Marikina River in particular.

05:37That's why the water level is high here.

05:41That's why the local government is still monitoring

05:44and they are still asking for people to evacuate,

05:47especially the elderly,

05:49so that they don't need to be rescued.

05:51If ever, I hope that the water level here in Marikina River

05:54doesn't rise again, Angelic.

05:56Thank you very much, Ryan Lasigas.
