The continuous heavy rains have also caused floodings outside of Metro Manila. For instance, local responders rescued residents of San Antonio, Quezon Province who are living near the river.
The flood on Emilio Aguinaldo Highway in Bacoor, Cavite has yet to subside as of early Sunday.
According to PAGASA's 4 a.m. weather forecast, Habagat will continue to bring rains over Metro Manila and several parts of Luzon and the Visayas on Sunday.
PAGASA said monsoon rains are expected over Ilocos Sur, La Union, Abra, Benguet, Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila, the rest of the Ilocos Region and Cordillera Administrative Region, Nueva Vizcaya, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, Batangas, Oriental Mindoro, and Antique will experience occasional rains due to the Habagat. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/KG, GMA News
