00:00In addition to the damaged buildings and affected livelihoods,

00:05flooding in Santa Cruz, Laguna is a problem for the health of the people.

00:09June Deferacion, June, was live on the scene.

00:17Well, it's not raining much here in Santa Cruz, Laguna,

00:21but there are still five barangays affected by flooding.

00:24And because of the flooding, some residents here are suffering from skin diseases,

00:31diseases such as alipunga.

00:36From the air, I can see how large the community of Santa Cruz, Laguna is.

00:42In this part of Barangay Santissima Cruz, residents made a bridge

00:46that connects the barangay so that people can walk.

00:50Because it's inevitable to get flooded,

00:52most of the people here suffer from skin diseases such as alipunga.

00:56Sometimes, I don't take care of myself.

00:59I just wet my feet with clean water.

01:05It's hard to get wet because the water is smelly.

01:10Aside from Barangay Santissima, there are four barangays still affected by flooding.

01:16Because Santa Cruz is a catch basin,

01:18that's why the water is flowing from other places.

01:21As of now, all water tributaries are still cleaning

01:26the possible path of rainwater and floodwater.

01:30That's why we are ensuring that even if the rainwater flows from other barangays,

01:35it will only be available in these areas.

01:39In the aftermath of the flood yesterday,

01:41there are children who need to be rescued from a subdivision.

01:45More than 100 families are in evacuation centers,

01:49including Lola Violeta, who can't count how many times she has been rescued.

01:54When you're here, you're safe.

01:56You have nothing to eat, but you're safe.

02:00That's why it's hard. But it's okay.

02:02You don't have to worry about the children's deaths.

02:05Last night, a large part of Mawitak in Laguna was isolated.

02:09The water was up to Beowang in some parts of Manila East Road,

02:14which is the main thoroughfare.

02:16Only a large truck and bus can cross it.

02:19The smaller vehicles were the ones to pull and push the residents.

02:24The flood was the effect of the Mawitak-Santa Maria River

02:28because of the unceasing rain last night.

02:36There are places here in Santa Cruz, Laguna,

02:38where the water has been flowing for a long time.

02:40That's why it's expected that those in evacuation centers

02:44will stay there for five more days.

02:46But the local government has ensured that there is enough supply

02:49to meet the needs of those who are evacuating.

02:52Mel.

02:53Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
