Quezon City experienced significant flooding as heavy rains from the southwest monsoon, or habagat, hit the area on Saturday, according to the city’s local government. Several neighborhoods were submerged in floodwater reaching up to the knees, with officials providing an update on road conditions at 11:45 a.m. The advisory highlighted the impact of the weather on urban mobility, urging residents to exercise caution.
The flooding was attributed to the continuous rainfall brought by the habagat, which has been affecting the region for several days. While no immediate casualties were reported, the city government warned of potential disruptions and advised citizens to stay informed through official channels. The situation remains under monitoring as the weather system is expected to persist.
Meanwhile, other activities in Quezon City, such as cultural events, continued despite the weather conditions. For instance, members of the K-pop group MAMAMOO were seen exploring the area ahead of a concert, showcasing the city’s role as a cultural hub. (newsinfo.inquirer.net)
