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!
