Thunderstorms cause floods in parts of PH

Several parts of the country experienced flooding due to inclement weather caused by localized thunderstorms. In a ''24 Oras Weekend'' report by Jamie Santos, a motorist took footage of vehicles forced to cross the gutter-deep floods in some parts of Cainta, Rizal on Saturday morning. The flood was almost ankle deep in Montalban, Rizal. Inclement weather also caused heavy traffic on E. Rodriguez Avenue, Sumulong Memorial Circle Road in Antipolo, Ortigas Avenue Extension, and Taytay Diversion Road. Meanwhile, waters entered the homes of residents in Barangay Malanday, Marikina, while some of them removed blockage in their sewer, including trash, cement and dried leaves. They called on local authorities to take action regarding fast-rising floods despite little rainfall. In a separate ''24 Oras Weekend'' report by Nico Waje, a school was hit by flood in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, due to localized thunderstorms. Students and teachers worked together to remove water from classrooms. According to the school administration, flooding was caused by both rain and the construction of the drainage system. Thunderstorms also occurred in parts of Metro Manila on Saturday. Most parts of the country will continue to experience rains on Sunday because of the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), PAGASA said in its Saturday afternoon forecast. Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan will have occasional rains, while Metro Manila, Mindanao, Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Western Visayas will see cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. Bicol Region and the rest of Visayas will expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. —Jamil Santos/VBL, GMA Integrated News
