00:00This is really far from where we are standing, but now it has become an instant swimming pool for the residents of Barangay Sapangbayan here in Calumpit, Bulacan.
00:09As you can see behind me, the children are enjoying swimming because they have a new pool.
00:18This flood was the result of heavy rains, high tide, and the loss of water from two dams, Ipudam and Bustos Dam, July 24, when the flood began to rise here in the town of Calumpit.
00:35Calumpit is the so-called catch basin where the water goes from the nearby provinces.
00:42They are lucky because the area around Pampanga is not affected by floods.
00:49If the flood in Pampanga is severe, the water will go to Calumpit, said the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of Calumpit.
00:59They are hoping that the flood will last for a few more days before it reaches Calumpit, so that the children can enjoy their new swimming pool.
