00:00Residents in several places in Bulacan are hopeful that the loss of water in Ipo Dam can be affected

00:07because until now, the dam's gate is still open and it is possible that a quick flood will occur.

00:13This is Claycel Pardilla.

00:17Because of the unceasing rainfall, there was a strong and heavy storm.

00:21The loss of water from Ipo Dam continues.

00:26Today, the water level in Ipo Dam is recorded at 100.55 meters.

00:32It is not far from the 101.00 meters spilling level or above the possible flood level.

00:38One of the three gates of Ipo Dam was opened.

00:41The warning system in Ipo Dam is activated and residents in the town of Norzagaray,

00:47Angat, San Rafael, Bustos, Baliwag, Pulilan and other places in Bulacan are alerted.

00:54There is one more gate that is open at 0.15 meters.

00:58The loss of water continues.

01:01But I want to emphasize,

01:03it's not only the releases from Ipo Dam that we are looking at that can cause a flood,

01:10but also the rainfall within the downstream areas.

01:14The water level in Bustos Dam is also increasing to 130 cubic meters per second.

01:21After opening the two gates,

01:23at 11 o'clock this morning, when the water level in Bustos Dam reached 16.75 meters,

01:30while the spilling level was 17.35 meters,

01:34residents living near the so-called irrigation,

01:38such as in Barangay Tibagan, Bustos, Bulacan,

01:41were alerted while the residents living in the lower part of the Tuliahan River,

01:47such as Fairview, Quezon City, and several places in Valenzuela and Malabon.

01:51The water level in Lamesa Dam is still critical,

01:54until earlier this morning at 9 o'clock in the morning.

01:57The question is,

01:58is it possible for the water of Baguio and Habagat to spill on the ground,

02:02or is it possible for the water to escape from the so-called dams?

02:06We are not yet discarding the possibility of that,

02:10because we are still here.

02:12There are southwest monsoons,

02:13so we are still expecting rain within this watershed.

02:17That is why we are closely monitoring with these two dams.

02:21So if it is possible, before our rivers spill,

02:24our local DRRMOs are giving advice,

02:30so if they can give advice, we will follow it.

02:34The hope of the Albay Congressman, Joey Salceda,

02:40is that the hope is sleeping at work,

02:43and that information should be given early in the incoming season.

02:47We are monitoring 24 hours a day

02:52when there are such inclement weather events.

02:56So we want to let them know that we are not sleeping,

03:00and we want to let our countrymen know,

03:04especially those who are affected by floods,

03:08or calamities.

03:10Again, I just want to mention that as early as August 28,

03:14the hope of information is already out,

03:18in line with the possible tropical cyclone.

03:21In line with the effects of the Enteng Flood,

03:232,000 customers of Meralco have no electricity.

03:27Some lines of electricity in Cavite, Metro Manila, and Rizal were affected.

03:32Meralco is now trying to return the supply of electricity.

03:36It asked for a dispenser because it needs to follow a safety protocol during the rain.
