Rescues, evacuations in several areas due to Crising, Habagat rains, flooding
The effects of Tropical Storm Crising and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat were felt across the country during the weekend, as areas were flooded and residents fled to evacuation centers or were rescued. In Barangay Tatalon, Quezon City, at least 25 children, including three babies, were rescued from their homes amid severe flooding brought by heavy rains. According to Bea Pinlac's '24 Oras' report Sunday, waist-deep flood hit some areas in the barangay while other houses were submerged up to the roof. 'Di na makapasok yung bangka namin dun dahil maliit, makitid masyado. Wala kaming bangka na maliit so nasa bubong na sya,' said barangay chairperson Kiko del Mundo. (We cannot enter the area because it was too narrow. We don't have a proper boat for that.) Rescuers saved residents who were trapped from their residences including the children. They temporarily took shelter at the Diosdado Macapagal Elementary School on Saturday evening. 'Pahirapan pa yun. Kailangan pa idaan sa bubong, idaan sa bakod para makuha namin yung mga bata. Hindi namin maipasok agad sa lakas ng tubig. Nahihirapan kami,' said del Mundo. (It's difficult because we cannot enter the area due to the floods.) 'Yung iba nag-stay sa bubong. Pinauna nila ang mga anak nila, asawa nila tsaka mg babies nila,' he added. (Some residents were staying on their roofs.) Meanwhile, one rescuer sustained injuries due to the rescue operation. At least 100 families or over 300 individuals were affected by the flooding, which has been a perennial problem in the barangay. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), and the QC government said they have projects to resolve the floodings including a new pumping station and drainage system. Biñan, Laguna Residents in Barangay dela Paz in Biñan, Laguna, meanwhile, opted to use makeshift boats to traverse the knee-deep floods. 'Ang laking perwisyo lalo na sa mga estudyante, kawawa sila,' a resident told Jamie Santos' '24 Oras' report. (It is such an inconvenience for us, specially the students.) Gino Guico, barangay chairperson, said they did not expect sever floods to hit the area. He also proposed dredging in Laguna de Bay to ease their flood woes. 'Yung ganitong lalim ng baha ineexpect namin sometime in September or October. Ngayon July pa lang, ginulat kami,' Guico added. (We are expecting this level in September or October but not in July. We're shocked.) Camanava floods Severe floodings also hit the CAMANAVA area and nearby municipalities in Bulacan. In Barangay Hulong Duhat in Malabon City, residents waded through gutter-deep floodwaters. 'Sa kagustuhan ma-pump palabas, ang nangyayari dere-derecho ang pump, nasisira rin. Kagabi nayari itong talabahan, ngayon naman ang nasira naman 'yung pedela pero nakareport naman na sa MMDA,' barangay chairperson Wen dela Cruz. In Guiguinto, Bulacan, residents evacuated after flood waters reached as high as three feet. Deep floods were also observed in Sta. Cruz, Bocaue, Sta. Maria, and Malolos, and Bulacan, according to Mav Gonzales' '24 Oras' report. Meanwhile, the Bustos Dam released water due to the heavy rains. It may affect the low-lying areas in San Rafael, Bustos, Baliwag, Pulilan, Plaridel, Calumpit, Hagonoy, and Paombong. — Sundy Locus/BM, GMA Integrated News
