00:00The MMDA assured that the pumping stations are working
00:03despite the heavy rain in Metro Manila due to Hurricane Christine.
00:07In Pililya, Rizal, some residents fled
00:09because they were afraid to experience the flood again.
00:14Witnesses, Marie Zumal.
00:18One and a half.
00:21The water level here is high.
00:23Here in Barangay Atmos, the tobacco is floating.
00:26The water flow is fast in this part of the Pililya River
00:30in Barangay Hulo in Pililya, Rizal.
00:32The heavy flow of water
00:34followed by the heavy rain in the area.
00:37It reached a critical level
00:39where the water level is almost 15 meters above the river.
00:43We are afraid that everyone will drown.
00:46That is why the residents of the barangay
00:48went to their homes
00:50to comfort the residents near the river
00:53who fled early.
00:54It will be very difficult to reach the river at night
00:57if the flood is already there.
00:59Some residents in Barangay Hulo fled early
01:03because they were afraid to experience the flood again
01:06like the previous hurricanes.
01:08I don't want to experience the same thing again.
01:11I was in Bontis before.
01:13They rescued us until the water level was low
01:16and I fell into the river.
01:18I almost died.
01:20But some chose to stay in their homes
01:24because the rain stopped and there was no flood yet.
01:27The authorities continued to guard the river
01:30and now the flood is getting closer.
01:33They are preparing vehicles
01:35that can be used if there is a need to rescue.
01:37It hasn't been 20 minutes yet
01:39and the flood is already big.
01:41When we monitored,
01:42the wind was only 6 meters.
01:44When the rain started,
01:46it became 10 meters already.
01:48The barangay also assured that they have enough supplies
01:51of food, blankets and blankets
01:53at the evacuation center for those who fled.
01:58In Barangay Bagong Silangan in Quezon City,
02:00the Marikina River is strong.
02:02The MMDA hopes that the heavy rain
02:05caused by Hurricane Christine will not affect Metro Manila.
02:08Today, the MMDA sent a rescue team
02:11consisting of up to 60 people in Bicol.
02:14We are ready to send them to other places
02:17because we are also preparing
02:20if the NCR is hit.
02:22We will leave half of them here
02:25until we ensure that the NCR is safe.
02:32If the Emergency Operations Center works,
02:35all the local authorities in Metro Manila
02:38will be connected
02:39to quickly coordinate the rescue.
02:41The MMDA assured that their pumping stations are working
02:44to prevent flooding.
02:46Our pumping stations,
02:48if ever,
02:49let's hope that the heavy rain
02:52will not reach Metro Manila,
02:54will help to quickly stop the flooding.
03:00For GMA Integrated News,
03:01Maris Umali,
03:02Succeed!
