00:00 The rescue operation in Pampanga continues.
00:02 The flood is getting worse.
00:03 The flood will continue for a week.
00:06 But some people don't want to leave,
00:08 like a family who is continuing on a jeepney.
00:11 The situation there is being reported live by Marisol Abduraman.
00:15 Marisol.
00:16 Emil, despite the rain in Pampanga yesterday,
00:23 16 towns and a city are still submerged in the flood.
00:27 Despite the rain we are witnessing in San Simon,
00:30 the village of Dilapas is still isolated.
00:34 As soon as San Simon is about to be flooded,
00:41 the flood will immediately hit.
00:43 That's why the traffic is not on the northbound lane.
00:46 When entering the town,
00:47 wherever you look, you will see flood.
00:50 This part of the village of Dilapas has been submerged for 5 days.
00:54 Residents are worried that if it rains, the flood will be higher.
00:58 The problem is that the flood is slow.
01:01 But some residents say that it's not a coincidence.
01:05 The flood is still going on.
01:07 You're not letting us leave?
01:09 No, I can't go in.
01:11 It's dangerous.
01:13 It's okay.
01:14 It's really submerged.
01:16 On the other hand, the flood is still rampant.
01:19 Some residents have left,
01:21 but some are saying that they are getting stronger.
01:23 That's why they returned to the village earlier.
01:26 This family is now in a broken jeep.
01:30 We are worried about the children.
01:33 We are just here.
01:35 We are just passing by.
01:37 Why don't you want to go home?
01:38 Because we have a lot of children.
01:40 This family did not go with the village owner
01:43 who has 5 children.
01:45 Maybe in the middle of your sleep,
01:47 your babies will fall in the flood.
01:50 The flood is far away.
01:52 We need help.
01:54 Our parents are just here.
01:56 This 72-year-old man who lives in Catrelang
02:01 also doesn't want to leave.
02:02 They really don't want to leave.
02:05 We did everything we could.
02:06 We didn't even visit them twice.
02:10 It's sad.
02:11 They are still trying to fix their situation.
02:15 This afternoon,
02:16 some people were rescued from the village.
02:20 The village is still isolated.
02:22 That's why they are using boats for transportation.
02:24 In Santa Monica,
02:25 the flood is up to Bewang.
02:27 Rebecca Cardenas, 65 years old,
02:29 was just helped earlier.
02:31 Ma'am, you're pregnant.
02:33 Yes, I'm diabetic.
02:35 You're not allowed to carry her in the flood, ma'am.
02:38 You have to leave first.
02:39 Yes, because the water can't reach here.
02:42 But Roda was allowed to stay
02:44 even if the flood reaches Bewang.
02:47 There's nothing to pass through here.
02:49 Almost all roads are flooded.
02:54 It's hard to cross even if we want to leave.
02:57 According to the PDRRMO of Pampanga,
02:59 the most affected are Macabebe,
03:02 Masantol, San Simon, Candaba, and San Luis.
03:05 The flood reached 15 feet high
03:08 in Barangay San Agustin in Candaba.
03:11 We had preemptive evacuation.
03:14 The barangays that have high water levels
03:20 are being evacuated.
03:23 If our mayor sees that our people are in danger
03:29 and they need to be evacuated,
03:31 he will enforce the flood evacuation.
03:39 The total number of affected families reached 184,000
03:43 or 600,000 individuals.
03:46 They are the ones affected by the flood here in the province.
03:49 Meanwhile, Emil, the PDRRMC is still facing a big challenge
03:53 in providing assistance, especially to Masantol and Macabebe
03:57 who tried to enter the province yesterday
03:59 to provide assistance.
04:01 That's the latest from Pampanga.
04:03 Back to you, Emil.
04:04 Thank you very much, Marisol Abduraman.
