The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) on July 17, 2018
rescued and evacuated residents living along the river to temporarily evacuate
to a safer area as Typhoon #HenryPH caused flooding in low-lying areas.
PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio E. Goitia mobilized the river
warriors to assist him in the rescue operations while the river patrols
assisted in the monitoring of water level in the other areas of Pasig and San
Juan Rivers.
Goitia identified the families living along San Juan River, particularly in
Gumamela St., Barangay Roxas District in Quezon City.
Gumamela St., Barangay Roxas District in Quezon City.
During the inspection conducted by PRRC, Goitia observed the dangerous
current of water in San Juan River.
Because of this, Goitia appealed to the residents, who initially refused
PRRC’s help, to temporarily evacuate until the heavy rain pours out.
“Sana huwag na po nating hintaying malagay tayo sa panganib bunsod ng pagtaas
ng tubig sa ilog,” Goitia said.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)
raised Orange Rainfall Warning in Metro Manila.
