Title Metro Manila Floods A Knee-Deep Situation

As the monsoon rains intensified due to Tropical Depression Dante, various parts of Metro Manila experienced flooding, causing significant disruptions to daily commutes. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reported that floodwaters rose above gutter level in some areas, while others saw knee-deep waters impeding traffic.

In Manila, the Taft-UN Avenue intersection witnessed floodwaters reaching above gutter level, but remained passable to all types of vehicles. Similarly, portions of Taft Avenue near Pedro Gil and Kalaw, as well as Roxas Boulevard near UN Avenue and Kalaw Service Road, experienced flooding that was manageable for all vehicle types.

In contrast, Malabon's City Hall area saw knee-deep flooding along Rizal Avenue Extension, making it impassable to all types of vehicles. Nearby M.H. Del Pilar Street in Barangay Maysilo had half-knee deep water but remained passable.

Pasay City experienced gutter-deep flooding on roads at EDSA Heritage, Andrews Avenue corner Tramo, and EDSA near Roxas Boulevard, but these areas were still accessible to all types of vehicles. Caloocan's A. Mabini Street (near Damayan Tulay) had half-knee deep water, making it passable to all.

Makati's EDSA-Magallanes-Pasong Tamo tunnel saw gutter-deep flooding, but remained accessible to all types of vehicles.

Advice from the MMDA

As the rains are expected to persist, the MMDA advises motorists to avoid flood-prone areas and stay alert for further advisories. With the situation still developing, it is crucial to prioritize safety and take necessary precautions when navigating flooded roads.
