00:00While the situation in Marikina River is still calm, we will talk to Mayor Marcy Teodoro.

00:04Good morning to you, Mayor. This is Connie Sison.

00:10Mayor?

00:14Mayor Marcy, can you hear me?

00:17Yes.

00:18Alright. We will hear about the evacuation efforts of the residents near Marikina River

00:23given that we are now in the third alarm and forced evacuation.

00:28Yeah, third alarm. Our water level is now 18.2 and we are now forced evacuation.

00:34Especially to the communities that are near the river.

00:38Nangka, Tumana, Malanday, Providence Village, Bulantes.

00:44After four years, this is what we are afraid of again.

00:51We are now managing our evacuation centers.

00:56Actually, Sir, you had initial efforts like dredging before the rise of Marikina River.

01:04Is this what helped?

01:06We have massive and continuing dredging that we are doing.

01:09That's why the water carrying capacity of Marikina River increased.

01:13That's why we noticed that it didn't rise quickly.

01:17And like now, the water level is now 18 meters.

01:22Unlike before, when it reached 18 meters, the whole house was submerged.

01:28Now, what we can see here, beyond Bewang,

01:39I am showing that we still need to change our flattification model.

01:44It is still not enough.

01:46Especially if the rainfall is this strong.

01:50The new norm is different now.

01:52As we can see, the storms are causing convergence.

01:56The other two storms are combining.

01:58That's why it is stronger now.

02:00Until tomorrow, it is expected that this storm will continue until it leaves.

02:06And one more thing, the rainfall count is very strong.

02:11It is 197.

02:13On the average, it is 197 millimeters.

02:16On the top of the mountain of Marikina.

02:21That's why it increased the amount of water coming down to Marikina River.

02:26Okay.

02:27But for now, how is our effort in flattifying?

02:30Our fellow citizens in Marikina are already used to it.

02:34They are following us.

02:36We don't have any problem in flattifying.

02:38Hello, Connie.

02:40I'm outside. I can't hear you.

02:43How are our efforts in forced evacuation?

02:47Are they all following us, Mayor?

02:49Yes, they are fleeing.

02:52Even before the forced evacuation, pre-emptive,

02:56you can see that people are fleeing.

02:59This is not a problem in Marikina because this is already part of the discipline that they have.

03:04I see.

03:06What is the number of families living near Marikina River?

03:11We expect that our evacuation centers will be occupied.

03:15Will they be able to get everything they need, food?

03:20For now, Connie, our ballpark figure,

03:24we have 3,000 individuals fleeing now.

03:30If we continue, we will reach 10,000 to 15,000 individuals.

03:36On the average, given the number of structures that will be affected along the Marikina River.

03:43Mayor, worst case scenario, and I hope it won't happen,

03:47but if the Marikina River rises to 18 meters,

03:52what are our preparations for the rescue?

03:57Especially for those who live there.

04:00Connie, our immediate concern is the camp management,

04:06the evacuation management that we are doing right now.

04:10For the people, we will be able to settle them in our evacuation areas.

04:17We will be able to give them their medical needs.

04:22We will be able to help them flee.

04:27This is our immediate concern.

04:29Actually, I am here at an evacuation center in Malanday.

04:33We can see that a lot of people are fleeing.

04:36We are also sending food so that when our evacuees arrive,

04:42they will have food.

04:44We are also mobilizing our volunteers.

04:49Because we are expecting a lot of evacuees,

04:52we may not have enough regular personnel.

04:56Yes, Mayor.

04:57It is up to you to call if there are people who want to volunteer,

05:03or if you can help them, or if you can give them goods

05:08that our countrymen in Marikina need.

05:11Mayor, do you have a number that they can call?

05:14Yes, first of all, food.

05:16For sure, we will need it.

05:19If there are people who want to help,

05:21they can bring it directly to our evacuation centers.

05:25These are the goods that we have in Malanday,

05:28in Nangka, in Concepcion, in Tumana, in Espotica.

05:32Inside, I saw that there are a lot of small children here.

05:38Maybe the needs of the children can also be helped.

05:47This is how the Filipinos really help each other.

05:52Here, I can see that there are people here

05:56who don't have much equipment or materials to help.

06:01But there are people who help to carry the goods of the evacuees.

06:07There are young people who volunteer here.

06:10Thank you very much for your time, Mayor Marci.

06:13We pray that you will all be safe until this is over.

06:17Thank you, Ma'am Connie, Sir Raffy.

06:20Thank you.

06:21That was Mayor Marci Teodoro of Marikina.
