00:00A flood came, but the trash and debris left by Hurricane Christine

00:05in another part of Metro Manila.

00:07Witness, Emil Sumangin.

00:12It happened in an establishment in Cubao, Quezon City last night.

00:16The impact of Hurricane Christine was devastating.

00:19Not only was there a strong wind,

00:22but two people were swept away by the rain.

00:26He was also picked up by a commuter on his way home from work.

00:31It was past 2 o'clock in the afternoon,

00:33and the Araneta Avenue was still flooded,

00:35so the vehicles couldn't pass,

00:37except for the big trucks.

00:39In Barangay Tatalon,

00:41someone was rowing last night because of the heavy rain.

00:45Some houses were hit by black and dirty water.

00:48You're used to it. It's tiring.

00:50Just like Hurricane Carina, it's tiring for a few days.

00:53It's almost a week of cleaning and washing,

00:55but it's really tiring.

00:57But if you live here, there's nothing you can do.

01:00The Araneta Avenue was flooded,

01:03and the trash and debris was swept away.

01:06In Paranaque, the commuters were also swept away last night

01:10because of the flood near a mall.

01:12The water reached the roof, so some vehicles were swept away.

01:17In Marikina, more than 2,000 families were brought to evacuation sites.

01:21In the midst of heavy rain and strong winds,

01:24Hurricane Cristina raised the Marikina River to the second alarm last night.

01:28After it reached 16.8 meters,

01:31the establishments were closed early.

01:34Some of them were flooded with water.

01:37Customers of a restaurant were stranded in the midst of heavy rain.

01:42There was also heavy rain, but the thick white was left behind.

01:46We haven't slept for a few days.

01:48When the water level rises here,

01:50we need to raise our equipment.

01:53The water level in Marikina River is now normal.

01:55Earlier this morning, several residents were swept away by the water.

01:59What did you catch?

02:01Tilapia.

02:02Are you going to eat it or what's the plan?

02:05We'll eat it.

02:06Until when?

02:07Until later tonight.

02:08Until it's full?

02:09Yes.

02:10If we can catch more, we're lucky.

02:12We'll just wait here.

02:14We'll eat it if we catch more.

02:17If we don't catch more.

02:20We'll just eat it.

02:22For GMI Integrated News,

02:24Emilio Subangil is your witness.
