00:00The Marikina River rose to a critical level yesterday because of the constant rain.

00:05So now, this is the first alarm.

00:07How is the situation there from Marikina Mayor Marcelino Chedoro? Good morning, Mayor.

00:13Good morning to all of us who are watching and listening.

00:17Mayor, how is the situation there in Marikina?

00:20Is there still rain and flooding?

00:21In the places where yesterday, the flooding was really severe.

00:26Now, we have the first alarm at 15.5 meters when the rain stopped.

00:33We recorded the highest number of evacuees at 30,000 more or less.

00:45We are now at 5,800 families.

00:50How was the rescue operations, Mayor?

00:53Did you have a hard time? Did you go there? Did you get all the necessary assistance yesterday?

00:58Some were left at home.

01:02Earlier this morning, when we were able to access those houses because the water level dropped,

01:07we were able to rescue them from their homes.

01:13I just verified this morning that there was a reported casualty.

01:21For verification now, in one of our barangays, in Barangay Tumana.

01:27But it was not in the house, but outside their house.

01:33As evacuees, were you also surprised because you did not expect that the rain would be that severe?

01:46And because of that, even those who should not be evacuated, were evacuated.

01:50The evacuation that was done by others was preemptive.

01:53The others were forced or mandatory evacuation.

01:5730,128.

01:59This is almost like when there was a flood here in Marikina.

02:04We were surprised because we did not expect such a strong rain and a lot of water.

02:13In a long period of time, it rained for 6 hours.

02:18Now, we are experiencing more than 8 hours of continuous rain.

02:24That is why these data should be studied.

02:27And the forecasting is very important.

02:30The LGU's guidance on expectations, data analytics,

02:36so that there is no surprise and it can be prepared.

02:41Our biggest challenge now, Susan, is the healthcare management for our evacuees.

02:50Earlier, I ordered doxycycline for people with leptospirosis.

02:55Because the city is preparing for 20,000 individuals.

03:02Now, we calculated 30,000 in the evacuation centers.

03:08The people who evacuated to other places are right.

03:12Those who evacuated to their friends and acquaintances.

03:19That is why the magnitude of this is very high.

03:25We can only say that Filipinos are resilient.

03:29This is a whole-of-society approach.

03:34Mayor, there are barges that are being monitored up to Manalo Bridge.

03:38Where are those barges from, Mayor?

03:41There is a dredging that is being done in Marikina River and in Pasig.

03:47It is in our boundary.

03:50These are the barges that are being monitored.

03:53I saw the other equipment.

03:55The first barge that was monitored passed through Manalo Bridge.

04:02We were happy about that.

04:04But the next time, there were so many barges and equipment.

04:10This is from the dredging that is being done.

04:14Because of the sudden, it was not secured.

04:16And it was not expected that the barges would be that strong.

04:20Because these are very heavy.

04:22It cannot be handled.

04:26Anyway, Mayor, if you compare the experience of the barges and the recent one,

04:32can you see the difference?

04:35If there is a difference, where were you more surprised by the extent of the barges?

04:43First, the barges happened at night.

04:46The dark barges happened during the day.

04:51It's a good thing that this happened because the people were able to escape safely.

04:57They were able to escape safely.

05:00That's why the data is very important.

05:03The forecasting is very important.

05:05Especially us, we are a downstream community.

05:08In the morning, it was not raining in Marikina.

05:11But we were able to record the rain in the upstream area,

05:16in the upper Antipolo area, in the Marikina River Basin,

05:19at the top of the hill.

05:21We saw that it was raining heavily.

05:23Then we computed what time the travel time would arrive here in Marikina.

05:28We thought that it was okay.

05:30We were done there.

05:32After that, the weather pattern,

05:35it was raining heavily here in Marikina, in the downstream.

05:39We computed how it would go down in our outfall area,

05:43going to Laguna de Bay and Manila Bay.

05:45So it's systemic.

05:47We should think of it as systemic, not just in one place.

05:50If this is a river system,

05:53then in the outfall area,

05:56if there is an outflow,

05:58how fast it is.

06:00This is technical.

06:01There should be a technical assessment also.

06:07So that we can prepare the communities on when to evacuate.

06:11More than anything,

06:13we should prepare for the return of our countrymen.

06:18Many of us were stranded.

06:21We were paid on a daily basis.

06:28Yes.

06:29They couldn't get in.

06:31In the morning, they left the house

06:34because they didn't want to lose their jobs

06:37because their income is important.

06:39But when they returned in the afternoon,

06:41their house was flooded.

06:43Many of their children were left in the house

06:46and couldn't get out of the house.

06:51These are the ones we rescued yesterday.

06:54Even this, we can see.

06:58Even the employment,

06:59even the needs at the level of the family,

07:02individual needs,

07:03should also be studied.

07:05We also plotted

07:08the first affected families

07:10and their economic profile.

07:14Mayor, we will hear more news.

07:16Thank you very much.

07:17Take care.

07:19Marikina Mayor Marcelino Chedoro,

07:21good morning to you.

07:22Thank you.

07:23Good morning.

07:24Long live.

07:38Music.
