00:00Meanwhile, the rescue operations that were carried out in different parts of Quezon City yesterday were also on the sidelines.
00:08As for those who were rescued, those who were trapped in the heavy rain,
00:13as well as the residents whose houses were flooded.
00:19Here is the first news of Tina Panganiban-Perez.
00:23In the middle of the heavy rain, there was no rescue operation in Barangay Bagong Silangan.
00:31Even the pets were not left behind.
00:34Others just walked in the heavy rain.
00:37Some of their belongings were broken.
00:39The flood reached the roof of the second floor of the house in the area of Ana Linang.
00:44She was already evacuated but she wanted to return because she left her four-piece ID.
00:50The water reached the roof of the house.
00:53I forgot my ID and my four-piece wallet.
00:58I left it because it was too heavy.
01:01We warned them to get ready.
01:03We evacuated many people last night.
01:06Our rescuers were not able to rescue all of them at the same time.
01:09I think we were the last ones to take care of her because she drowned.
01:15Some were told not to evacuate.
01:17Especially those who have a house on the second floor and near the main road that is not flooded.
01:23Others hoped that the water would go down, like Efren Cabalan.
01:27But he estimated that the water was five meters deep in their bungalow.
01:31I waited for the water to go down.
01:34But it went up.
01:36It reached the roof of the house.
01:39So they just drove away.
01:42These people are near the main road.
01:46That's why they asked for help from the rescuers.
01:51They waited for the water to reach this level.
01:56So they can secure their belongings in their house.
02:02The main road is just a few steps away.
02:05That's why the rescuers did not put them in danger.
02:13Ma'am, why did you ask for help just now?
02:15No, we were just there because we were carrying our belongings.
02:19We are monitoring this area.
02:21There are people here.
02:22So that if there is a flood, they can be evacuated immediately.
02:26There are many evacuation centers in Barangay Bagong Silangan,
02:29like this Bagong Silangan Elementary School.
02:32The residents are holding on to a candle
02:35because a large part of the barangay has no electricity.
02:38But there is food and drink supply.
02:41Many streets in Quezon City were flooded,
02:44like some parts of Mindanao Avenue.
02:46The flooding in Pasong Tabo Bridge
02:49almost reached the road.
02:51Some parts of Congressional Avenue were also flooded.
02:55A car crashed into the Quezon Avenue underpass
02:59when it was stuck in deep water.
03:01It was trapped inside.
03:02We pushed it here.
03:04How deep was it?
03:06It was up to here.
03:08Some youths made a swimming pool
03:10in one part of Luzon Avenue
03:12which was also flooded.
03:14They didn't know that the cars were also stuck in the water.
03:18This is the first news.
