Meanwhile, chest-deep flooding in Barangay Roxas District, Quezon City caused the forced evacuation for over 66 families.

“Umabot sa second floor, mataas yung tubig. Mabilis din yung pagtaas kanina,” said Dr. Tatta Gotladera, Barangay Roxas chairperson.

The affected families will stay at the barangay covered court until the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office provides clearance for a safe return to their homes.

Weather bureau PAGASA said Metro Manila will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms on Saturday due to the low pressure area and the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat). Moderate to at times heavy rains may result in flash floods, it added.
