Residents of Sitio Fisheries in Barangay Malued, Dagupan City are battling knee-deep floods, forcing some to use rafts to reach the main roads while others brave the waters on foot.

"Napasukan na 'yung bahay ko [ng tubig baha]. Kahirap 'pag ganitong umuulan na," Eleonor Morante, a resident, said.

Despite the difficulties, many locals have become accustomed to these conditions, which often occur during the rainy season or when a typhoon hits.

Another resident, Arnel Cariño, expressed his concern, especially for the safety of children.

"Sobrang hirap. Nabahala ka sa mga bata. Baka mahulog sila," he said.

The Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (BDRRMO) is monitoring the area closely, ensuring the safety and well-being of at least 80 families affected.

So far, there have been no evacuations, but local officials remain vigilant.

"Kaya mino-monitor natin kasi ayaw natin na magkaroon ng casualties o problema sa ating constituents," Filipina Delos Santos, Chairperson of Barangay Malued, said.

In addition to Sitio Fisheries, the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) is keeping an eye on other low-lying areas, particularly those near the Pantal-Sinocalan River.

The river's water has turned muddy, a sign that runoff from the mountains is causing water levels to rise.

"Binabantayan po natin para at least, ma-warningan natin kaagad 'yung mga barangay along the Sinocalan river," Ronald De Guzman, a DRRM officer in Dagupan City, said.
