00:00A river opened between Palawan and Mapalayan because of a heavy downpour caused by two typhoons.
00:09The impact on Albay was caused by several structures.
00:13Joseph Moro witnessed it.
00:22The retaining wall project in Pulangki, Albay was affected by heavy rain.
00:30The local authorities inspected the area to ensure the safety of the residents.
00:35A part of a road in the town of Jovellar was also damaged.
00:40While in Daraga, a flash flood occurred and the traffic became heavy.
00:44In Rojas, Palawan, a large river was crossed by this man.
00:48But it was Palayan that was flooded.
00:51To find out how high the water level in Palawan, Rojas, Palawan is,
00:58we brought him to a river that looks like a river and the water level is at its peak.
01:06Many of the residents here told us that they don't want the flood to continue.
01:12It started on a Friday.
01:14Oh, it started on a Friday?
01:15Then last night, it got really deep.
01:19Oh, so you didn't evacuate?
01:22We already evacuated.
01:24I just went back to my house.
01:25When do you think it will reach the ground?
01:28It will take a while.
01:30It will reach the ground on Saturday, I think.
01:35Because it's still raining, right?
01:36Yes, it's still raining.
01:37The rain continues.
01:38About 10,000 residents were affected by the floods.
01:41Some of them went back to their homes by boat.
01:45Animals were also left on the road.
01:48The water will reach the roof of some houses.
01:51Many houses were also flooded in Barangay Sigsigan, Puerto Princesa City.
01:56The evacuation centers were the first to evacuate the 86 families.
02:01Seven more barangays in the city were affected by the floods.
02:04More than 500 families in the tourist town of San Vicente were also affected by the floods.
02:13While in Barangay Abongan in Taytay, Palawan, the river was already flooding,
02:17so the crops were also flooded.
02:21Only a few crops were damaged because no one was able to send them.
02:25El Nido MDRMO was able to capture the strong waves in the sea.
02:30Some residents of Barangay Bebeladan, an isolated place, were rescued.
02:35In several places in Calasio and Pangasinan,
02:37the floodwaters still haven't been brought down yet.
02:41Residents are worried that the floodwaters may flood again.
02:45They are not the first to bring down their belongings
02:47that they used to carry in the upper part of their houses.
02:51If it floods again, we will have to go up again.
02:55In Dagupan City, Medina was also carrying her belongings
02:59in the second floor of her house.
03:01The water inside was already overflowing.
03:03It's hard because you have to carry everything up
03:07and you can't move much.
03:09The high tides followed due to the rain
03:11and the barangays near the Pantal River were affected.
03:15According to the CDRMO,
03:17the tide levels in the city were reaching 1.2 meters in two days.
03:21Our biggest concern for this week will be the high tides.
03:25It's possible because we have a gale warning
03:27that will go down in two hours, just like yesterday.
03:31The no sailing, no swimming and no fishing policy in the city is still in effect.
