00:00It is possible that the heavy rains will continue for a few more days.
00:04The rains last night and this morning were heavy and flooded various places.
00:10Joseph Moro witnessed it.
00:12High water levels on the road and the debris and scattered garbage
00:19were what flooded the motorists this morning in various parts of Quezon City.
00:24On the other hand, some cyclists and motorists were forced to cross Araneta Avenue to get to work.
00:30It's hard to cross.
00:32The road is deep.
00:34It's a long way.
00:36It's not even 10 kilometers of water.
00:38What happened to your motorcycle?
00:40It's broken. It's deep.
00:43The jeepney and tricycle drivers in Caloocan City are also permitted to cross the river.
00:48I don't have a passenger and I don't have electricity.
00:50I don't have a boundary.
00:52I don't have anything to eat for my family.
00:54I don't have anything to earn.
00:56It's a big problem.
00:58It's not enough.
01:00Earlier this afternoon, in the area of Montinlupa,
01:02the flow of traffic slowed down due to the floods.
01:04It also flooded around Tuliahan River in Malabon City.
01:08The water level reached a critical level of 12.3 meters
01:12in the area of Tinejeros Bridge around 6 a.m.
01:17The water level in Marikina River reached 14.4 meters earlier this morning
01:22near the first alarm of 15 meters.
01:25This afternoon, the water level in Marikina River reached only 13 meters.
01:30However, according to Mayor Marci Chudoro,
01:33he was alerted by Rescue 161 in case the heavy rain falls again.
01:37It's not just the typhoons or floods that they consider to be a bad omen,
01:41but a lot of rain will fall.
01:43It's a new normal.
01:45That's why we're monitoring the volume of rainfall.
01:50Not only here in Marikina, but also in the upstream communities.
01:53We don't want it to suddenly rain heavily.
01:58They hope that their advisories will be given earlier
02:02so that they can be more prepared.
02:04Maybe they can give it earlier.
02:08In advance.
02:09In advance or if not in advance.
02:11There's a time to prepare.
02:16There's a lead time.
02:17We experienced that earlier.
02:20We were surprised.
02:23Here in Pagasa, we are taking this data that we receive very carefully.
02:29We are also taking care of releasing the forecasts.
02:32It's also crucial to give it earlier.
02:34But at the same time, we feel that on our end,
02:37it's only right that there will be heavy rainfall on the night before.
03:02If it will rain in the next two to three days because of the current rainfall,
03:06it won't be as heavy as the enhanced rainfall in Baguio-Carina.
03:12For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong, your witness.
03:36For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong.
