Floods hit Metro Manila due to Habagat rains enhanced by Crising


Several areas in Metro Manila got flooded due to overnight heavy rains from the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) enhanced by Tropical Storm Crising.

Malabon

In Malabon City, floods were reported in Barangays Panghulo, Hulong Duhat, Concepcion, Catmon, Tañong, San Agustin, and Ibaba, the Malabon Public Information Office said, according to a report by Christian Maño on Dobol B TV.

 

 

 

The floods in the above-mentioned areas were starting to recede.

Meanwhile, the water level at Tenejeros Bridge was at 11.8 meters while that of C4 Bridge was at a critical level of 12.5 meters on Saturday morning.

Parts of NBBS Kaunlaran, SIPAC, San Jose, Daanghari, San Roque, and Tanza 1 and 2 were flooded as of 8:15 a.m., according to the Malabon Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.

Manila

In Manila, among the flooded areas were Padre Faura going to UN Avenue LRT station, Padre Faura intersection, Taft Avenue in front of National Bureau of Investigation, España Boulevard portions from M. Dela Fuente, Maceda, Blumentritt to Antipolo Street, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said, according to a report by Christian Maño on Super Radyo dzBB.

 

 

 

The floods in these areas were gutter-deep and passable to all motor vehicles. Motorists however, tried to avoid going through the flooded areas to avoid having their vehicles stalled.

Some commuters along Taft Avenue and España Boulevard were thus stranded due to the lesser number of public transport vehicles on the said roads.

Quezon City

Meanwhile, in Quezon City, N.S. Amoranto Street near Araneta Avenue was still flooded as of before noon Saturday, according to Super Radyo reporter Carlo Mateo.

A brave motorist drove his car through the flooded street while a resident used a boat to get through.

 

 

De Vera Street near the corner of Morato Avenue in Barangay Paraiso also got flooded after a creek nearby overflowed. The floodwaters rose up to four feet.

The flood is receding, but barangay tanods are still on standby.

 

 

 

Some roads in Brgy. Roxas District in Quezon City also got flooded, according to a separate report by Carlo Mateo on Super Radyo dzBB.
