Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., national chairman of the NDCC, said he himself was forced to use the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) on his way to office in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City, from Pasay City because there was no passable road."
This kind of flash floods in Metro Manila took us all by surprise," he said, adding that flooding was also reported in Bulacan and Pampanga provinces north of Manila.
In an interview with GMA News, he urged motorists to stay home to avoid getting caught in the floods. He also called on the MRT and Light Rail Transit (LRT) authorities not to stop their operations for the benefit of stranded commuters.
Ondoy (international code name Ketsana), packing maximum winds of 85 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 100 kph, slammed into the eastern side of Luzon Island from the Pacific Ocean before noon Saturday.
It was crossing Central Luzon and was expected to be 230 km west-northwest of Iba, Zambales by Sunday morning as it continues to move into the South China Sea.
At least 12 areas in Luzon were placed under Storm Signal No. 2 as Ondoy made landfall near the boundary of Aurora and Quezon provinces.
A dozen flights in and out of central and northern Philippines were canceled because of poor visibility, airport officials said. Power distributor Meralco cut off electric services to some flooded areas in metropolitan Manila to prevent accidents, spokesman Joel Zaldarriaga said.
Hundreds of vehicles stalled in flooded streets around the capital and nearly 2,000 passengers and more than 150 vehicles were stranded in ports in several provinces south of Manila after the coast guard suspended ferry operations.
Weather forecasters advised those living along the coast under Signal No. 2 to be on alert against big waves generated by the storm.
Although Metro Manila was only under Storm Signal No. 1, many places were reported to be heavily flooded, leaving thousands of motorists and commuters stranded.
A resident of Kamias Street in Quezon City called GMANews.TV to say that floods have reached chest level in the area and many residents were stranded.
"We are flooded here! We have no second floor. Nalulunod na kami dito (We're drowning already)," Leah Centeno said.
Many vehicles were stranded in front of Camp Aguinaldo, the military headquarters in Quezon City, as floodwaters had risen above chest level and visibility was almost zero.
Henry Cabural, one of 30 passengers of a stranded provincial bus, told GMANews.TV in a phone interview that they opted to stay inside as flood waters already entered the driver's area and was rising.
"Kanina pa kami dito. Wala nang makadaan. Yung maliliit na kotse bubong na lang ang nakikita (We've been here for a long time. No one can pass through anymore. Only the top of small cars are visible)," Cabural said.
