00:00The residents of Ipo Dam are now alerted to the loss of water because of the continuous rain.

00:09A dam gate is still open that could lead to rapid flooding.

00:14Find out more about the dams in the news center of Clay's Alpardilla, live.

00:22Angelique, the warning system of the dams in our country is still high.

00:28It's in front of us because of the continuous rain, heavy rainstorms, and heavy snowfall.

00:36The continuous loss of water from Ipo Dam in the middle of the continuous rainstorms

00:43and heavy snowfall today recorded a 100.55 meters level of Ipo Dam

00:49which is not far from 101.00 meters of spilling level or untouched that could overflow.

00:56One of the three gates of Ipo Dam is open and 30 cubic meters of water is coming out

01:02and it's possible for rapid flooding to occur.

01:05The warning status of Ipo Dam is high and residents of Norzagaray, Angat, San Rafael,

01:14Bustos, Baliwag, Pulilan, and other places in Bulacan are being alerted.

01:19This is another gate that is open at 0.15 meters.

01:25The continuous loss of water.

01:28But I want to emphasize, it's not only the releases from Ipo Dam that we are looking at

01:35that could cause the water to rise, but also the rainstorms within the downstream areas.

01:43The water is also overflowing at 130 cubic meters per second in Bustos Dam.

01:49After opening these two gates at 9 a.m., the water level in Bustos is at 16.75 meters

01:57while the spilling level is at 17.35 meters.

02:01Residents living near the so-called irrigation, such as in Barangay Tibagan, Bustos, Bulacan,

02:08While being alerted, Angelique, the residents living in the lower part of Tuliahan River,

02:15such as Fairview in Cazon City and several places in Valenzuela and Malabut.

02:21The water level in Lamesa Dam is still critical until 9 a.m.

02:27But I also want to emphasize that the downstream of Lamesa Dam is the Tuliahan River.

02:38So if the Lamesa Dam will rise, it will not only be the cause of the flood,

02:45but rather there will also be rainstorms along the Tuliahan River.

02:49So we have the warning sirens.

02:53The spilling level of Lamesa, Ipo and Bustos Dam is not yet reached.

02:58Can the dams still handle the water that will be brought down by a heavy storm

03:05or possibly the water will be drained from the so-called dams?

03:09Here is the answer of Pag-Ask.

03:11We are not yet discarding the possibility of that

03:16because we are still here in the southwest monsoons.

03:20So we are still expecting rain within this watershed.

03:24That is why we are closely monitoring with these two dams.

03:28So if possible, before our rivers overflow,

03:32our local DRRMOs are giving advice.

03:37So if they can give advice, we will follow it.

03:42The Pag-Ask is now suspended.

03:45According to the statement of ALBAI Congressman Joey Salceda,

03:48the Pag-Ask is currently sleeping and should give information

03:53as soon as possible on the incoming weather.

03:57We are monitoring 24 hours a day when there are inclement weather events.

04:05So we want to let them know that we are not sleeping

04:09and we want to let our countrymen know

04:14especially those who are affected by floods, storms, and calamities.

04:19Again, I just want to mention that as early as August 28,

04:23the Pag-Ask released information related to the possible tropical cyclone.

04:30Meanwhile, due to the effects of the Enteng typhoon,

04:332,000 Meralco customers have no electricity.

04:36Some lines of electricity in Cavite, Metro Manila, and Rizal were affected.

04:41Meralco is trying to get the supply of electricity back.

04:44It asked for a dispensary because it needs to follow the safety protocol

04:50especially since it is still raining at this time.

04:53That is the latest. Back to you, Angelique.

04:56Claisel, when will the dams be closed?

05:03The gates are still open.

05:05What did the Pag-Ask say?

05:08When will they plan to close the dams?

05:11Will the residents be able to expect rain and storm downstream?

05:19Yes, Angelique.

05:20The Pag-Ask will continue to give warnings to the residents

05:24who live near the dams.

05:26Because of the continuous rain,

05:28the agency continues to monitor the level of the dams.

05:33It is important that the gates are open so that the dams do not flood.

05:39The Pag-Ask warning is just a reminder

05:42to the advisories that will be released on August 28.

05:47The public should remain alert.

05:52Angelique?

05:53Thank you, Claisel Pardilla.
