00:00The barangay of Santa Inez in Tanay, Rizal has been trying to reach the affected residents for three days

00:08because of the typhoon Karina and Habagat.

00:10President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led the situational briefing in Lawigan.

00:16This is what Patrick De Jesus reported.

00:23Because of the heavy rainfall due to the typhoon Karina and Habagat,

00:28the residents of Santa Inez in Tanay, Rizal are still struggling to reach the affected residents.

00:35This is what President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. showed

00:39when he led the situational briefing earlier in Lawigan.

00:43The road was damaged, there was a flood,

00:46the family of Santa Inez in Tanay, Rizal was able to reach 3,000 people

00:50who are now isolated.

00:52Santa Inez is up there.

00:55For how many days already, they can't get food,

00:57the barangay can't sell food there.

01:01We have been trying to, every day.

01:03In fact, today, we still attempted to go up.

01:07What's the problem?

01:09They're not on the road.

01:13There are roads that were damaged in Tanay.

01:16The road was damaged?

01:18Yes, the road.

01:19So they were saying that they're looking at an aerial view.

01:24The President is focusing on this.

01:26That's why he ordered the deployment of all the assets of the government

01:30to be able to reach the needs of the residents there as soon as possible,

01:35such as food, water, and medicines.

01:38Is the water still that high?

01:40Until now?

01:42Like in the video?

01:43Until now, it's still the same.

01:45It's still the same?

01:46Even in August, it was the same?

01:47No, not in August.

01:48It's not that high?

01:50It's still high, and the water is coming from far away.

01:54We have to get those supplies up to those people

01:57who haven't been there for three days.

01:59I'm always thinking of the elderly and the children.

02:05They will be affected.

02:08So let's find a way to do that.

02:12I'll call up DND, AFP, helicopters, for the meantime,

02:18let's find a way to get food and water.

02:25Six places in the province of Rizal were the first to declare a state of calamity.

02:31These include the towns of San Mateo, Cainta, Taytay, Morong, Rodriguez, and Angonok.

02:39In the President's aerial inspection of a floodway in Rizal,

02:43he was able to see how affected the residents were by the flood.

02:47But according to the LGU,

02:49the Upper Wawad Dam Project helped to reduce the flood.

02:55If without it, I feel that most likely San Mateo and Montalban would be down,

03:01and definitely Marikina and parts of Quezon City,

03:04and even Pasig would be affected because of Laguna Lake.

03:08Mr. President, actually, we have submitted last year to the DPWH,

03:15we have a pending plan in planning and services

03:20for the Wawad Dam Reservoir downstream area.

03:26The President also greeted earlier the distribution of aid to San Mateo, Rizal,

03:32Patrick De Jesus for Pambansan TV in Bagong, Philippines.
