00:00Meanwhile, the damaged flood wall in Barangay San Jose and the Tanza Navigational Floodgate in disrepair are chiefly to blame for the community of San Jose going way underwater.
00:11Over the weekend, a private contractor and the DPWH are scheduled to mend the flood control system, which was delayed for reasons unknown beginning later tonight.
00:22Isaiah Mirafuentes narrates the misery of the folks in evacuation centers and more in this report.
00:30This is how deep the flooding was in Barangay San Jose Navotas city over the weekend.
00:36The water rose up to the next level.
00:39Many houses were almost completely submerged, with only the roofs visible due to the death of the flood.
00:45The damaged flood wall in Barangay San Jose Navotas is being blamed for the incident.
00:50In this video, you can see the strong flow of water entering narrow alleys from the river.
00:55Some residents simply made the most of the flood, playing music amid the flooded street.
01:04Today, the situation in Navotas has changed.
01:06Due to low tides level, there is currently less flooding in the city.
01:11The local government of Navotas also placed sandbags as a temporary patch on the damaged flood wall.
01:16But the LGU promise, this is only temporary.
01:19The aim to finish it by this Friday.
01:42The suspected causes of the flood wall damage was the rise in the water level due to the damaged navigational floodgate in Tanzan, Navotas.
01:50The plan was to repair the damaged navigational floodgate by tomorrow, but it was delayed.
01:56Okay, ganito yung sitwasyon.
01:58Supposed to be ho, tapos na sila ngayon ng repair.
02:01Kaso lang ho, meron silang external consultant na pinatsyetsy ko kung yung quality of work na ginawa.
02:08Kasi ayaw ho namin, ayaw namin na gagawin tapos masisira ulit.
02:14So we want to make sure na whatever repair po yung ginawa, this will last.
02:19Total naman po, yung July 1 to 8 ay mababa naman po yung high tide.
02:23At yung possibility po ng pagbaha ay mababa.
02:27For now, there are still families in evacuation centers due to the flooding.
02:32The LGU wants to ensure that it's safe for residents to return home.
02:36But according to the CTDRMO, some families in the unsafe zone will no longer be allowed to return to their homes,
02:43but the LGU promise to help them.
