Molino Dam monitored as Bacoor residents worry over floods

Authorities are monitoring Molino Dam amid flooding in Bacoor, Cavite due to heavy rains.

According to a 24 Oras report by Dano Tingcungco on Tuesday, it rained continuously throughout the day, creating gutter-deep floods that made it difficult to travel on parts of Molino Road, Panapaan Road and Niog Road.

In Barangay Tabon Uno in Kawit, residents work through floods caused by both enhanced Habagat and the high tide.

“Mga 8 p.m., mga hanggang hips na po yung tubig sa bahay. Bumaba naman po, konti lang… Nakakakaba po. Nasira na po dingding namin eh. Wala, magtitiis po kami. Sanay na po kami dito,” shared resident Nancy Castillo.

(Around 8 p.m., the water in the house reached our hips. It has lowered, just a bit… It makes me nervous. Our wall is already damaged. We’ll endure it. We’re used to it.) 

PAGASA has issued an orange rainfall warning over Cavite. — Jiselle Anne C. Casucian/BM, GMA Integrated News
