We experienced brownout earlier this afternoon. I’m glad that electricity is back.
If you have electricity, charge your cellphones and laptops. Store water from the rain.
Parañaque Rep Rolilo Golez sent out this message at about 3 p.m:
I went all over Parañaque this morning during heavy rains, then to Red Cross Parañaque branch on Sucat for its inauguration and blessing.
But while we were having a blessing, Sucat got flooded up to waist level. My car parked on sidewalk was slowly getting flooded inside as waters entered ground floor of the building.
We are stranded here but as fate would have it, it’s agreatcoincidence that we are here for a blessing. Now stranded adn no more need to mobilize. We are using our time to good use with disaster response action.
I mobilized my brangay coordinators to give reports on flooded areas. Several barangay captains helping. Stranded volunteers here numbering 33 packing emergency food items fro distribution. We need a big truck for distribution of releif goods.
I already advised navy Chief Ferdinand Golez and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro.
My coordinators report more than 5,000 families affected. Areas that never expereinced flooding inthe past are now flooded.
South Luzon Expressway is closed. Reports said with all the stranded vehicles, it has become a huge parking space.
North Luzon Expressway is impassable.
