00:00A huge flood left Baguio, Pepito in some parts of Nueva Ecija.

00:06That's why a lot of people can't go home.

00:08There are also roads that can't be crossed yet.

00:11James Agustin is live reporting on that situation.

00:15James?

00:19Mel, this is Barangay Riz de Liz in 17 barangays that experienced flooding here in Cabanatuan City.

00:26Earlier this afternoon, a huge amount of water was brought down but a lot of houses were still submerged.

00:36In the strong winds, this ride is heading to a fairground in Bungabon, Nueva Ecija.

00:41Tens flew by.

00:43There was also a thunderstorm.

00:45A few establishments were also damaged.

00:48And a store was damaged on the side of the road.

00:51In Cabanatuan City, there was also a strong wind and thunderstorm until last night.

00:56That's why a lot of evacuation centers were flooded.

01:00Until this morning, there were still people escaping.

01:03Some places were still flooded.

01:05There was a lot of water in Vivian's house.

01:07It was very fast.

01:08You just need to turn a little bit and the water is already there.

01:11Walid was also worried about carrying his belongings.

01:14The water was rising fast.

01:16We were used to it.

01:17We were used to the strong winds.

01:19But now, it's just rising.

01:22The amount of water that was escaping was more visible in this drone video that was taken earlier this morning.

01:27Seventeen barangays were affected.

01:30From upstream, the volume of water will be saved.

01:33Three to six hours for the water to come down.

01:37This happened earlier this morning.

01:39The barangay of Riz Deliz and Isla was also submerged.

01:43The water reached their road.

01:45There were also people using boats.

01:47This is the part of the river that is still submerged because of the rising tide.

01:52The water level here has already reached its peak.

01:56But if you go through here, especially the entrances to the houses, the water level is higher.

02:01Other than the roof, you can't reach their houses.

02:06The senior citizen, Samira, was at the window of her house when the rescuers passed by.

02:12I can't do anything. I can't go out.

02:14I'm used to it. It's not just now.

02:16We're always flooded.

02:18Arlie was brought back with his son's school supplies.

02:21The water inside the house has already crossed the town.

02:24How are the supplies, sir?

02:26The others were raised.

02:28It's really hard, sir.

02:30It's a sacrifice.

02:32Carlos used an improvised raft made of styrofoam to reach his house.

02:37You don't know where you're going.

02:41Sometimes, the evacuation center is already full.

02:45Sometimes, we just sleep up here.

02:49In Palayan City, where the water from the Pampanga River,

02:53the Singal and Bravo Bridge, is being damaged,

02:55because it can't pass through,

02:57the roads that lead to General Mameto's house in Tibidal are far away.

03:05Meanwhile, according to information from CDRMO,

03:08more than 800 families will remain in evacuation centers tonight.

03:13That's all for now from Cabanatuan City.

03:15Back to you, Mel.

03:17Thank you very much, James Agustin.
