4 barangays in Mandaluyong City heavily flooded, 400 families evacuated

Stay safe, Mandaluyong folks.

“At least four barangays in Mandaluyong City—Barangay Addition Hills, Barangay Plainview, Barangay Daang Bakal, and Barangay Villarica—are flooded as Typhoon Mario continues to bring heavy rains,” reports Gus Abelgas on ABS-CBNnews.com.

Most of the streets in the said barangays are “impassable due to waist-deep flood water.” Rescue teams have been deployed in the area. They use rubber boats and lifebuoys to bring residents to safe grounds.

The report noted: “Motorists are advised to avoid the Shaw Boulevard- Daang Bakal area due to floods.”

Around 400 families have been evacuated and are now staying in four designated evacuation centers.
