00:00The rain in Quezon City is not common yet.
00:03For a few minutes, there were ice particles.
00:07Along with the heavy rain, a post of a solar lamp hit two vehicles.
00:12One of them was injured.
00:14Mark Salazar is a witness.
00:21In a rare opportunity, ice fell on some parts of Quezon City earlier.
00:26It's cold!
00:27Wow!
00:29Some motorists were shocked.
00:31But they were also worried that it might cause damage to their vehicles.
00:36This hail storm is very likely to happen
00:39if there's a thunderstorm like the one that rained in Quezon City earlier,
00:43according to the forecast.
00:45In a part of Quezon Avenue, a post of a solar lamp fell.
00:50A SUV hit it first.
00:52Then it hit a utility van.
00:55The rain was so heavy.
00:57Suddenly, the solar lamp fell.
01:03It hit our vehicle.
01:05It hit the van.
01:07The driver of the van was injured.
01:09He was in a panic.
01:10He could barely speak.
01:11Relax, relax.
01:14That's it, you're right.
01:16The owner of the vehicle arrived and took him to the hospital.
01:20We didn't expect that, but it happened.
01:24The solar lamp that fell was part of the MMDA's project.
01:28We have to look into it.
01:31But as soon as we have concrete information,
01:35we will let you know.
01:37A thunderstorm also rained and flooded Cotabato City yesterday.
01:42Some vehicles were also hit.
01:45A stream of white water appeared on a road
01:48in Bontoc Mountain Province
01:50because of the heavy rain.
01:52In hot Surigao del Norte,
01:54more than 25 houses were damaged in a landslide last Saturday,
02:00affecting more than 100 residents.
02:03Most of them are still in evacuation centers.
02:07Even though it's raining and flooding in some places,
02:10the heat is still spreading in some parts of the country.
02:1445 places recorded a danger level heat index,
02:19including two places in Metro Manila.
02:22The highest heat index recorded in Dagupan City
02:26is 50 degrees Celsius.
02:28The Task Force El Niño of the Department of National Defense
02:31was prepared by President Bongbong Marcos
02:34for the upcoming flood.
02:36Sometimes, more rain is expected
02:39that will follow the low season.
02:42The chance of this happening is 69%.
02:45Based on what we can see,
02:47this is what is called more than 50%
02:50than their climatological probability.
02:52This means that historically,
02:54if we can see that this is happening
02:56or this landslide is possible to develop,
02:59during July-August-September,
03:00it will be higher than the usual
03:03when this landslide happens.
03:06As a preparation for the rain,
03:0840 drainage laterals
03:11were placed under declogging and desilting operations
03:15throughout Metro Manila.
03:16In Fugoso Street in Manila,
03:18the MMDA Flood Control Unit
03:21is desalting the stormwater sewer
03:23to remove the debris.
03:25They are manually picking up the garbage
03:28that will be dumped by the backhoe.
03:31In Bambang, Manila,
03:32the declogging operation
03:34in the sanitary sewer was carried out.
03:36It will drain the wastewater of houses and businesses
03:40to the water treatment plant
03:42that will be desalted and dumped on the road
03:46along with the debris and garbage
