A total of 28 families or 112 individuals are in evacuation centers in Muntinlupa due to flooding caused by monsoon rains.
According to the Muntinlupa Public Information Office and Social Services Department, the families are staying in four evacuation centers in the city.
These are the Sucat multipurpose covered court (1 family) in Barangay Sucat, Buli covered court (2 families) in Barangay Buli, JRF multipurpose hall (13 families) in Barangay Cupang, and Tunasan pavilion (12 families).
Mayor Ruffy Biazon visited flood areas in Muntinlupa to know the situation of residents, including the Davao compound in Alabang. He ordered the installation of foot bridges to help residents.
The Muntinlupa City Engineering Department distributed coco lumber and installed foot bridges in flood areas.
City health workers distributed free medicine to residents in flooded areas, including Doxycycline for leptospirosis and other waterborne diseases.
Biazon said the city government contacted the University of the Philippines Resilience Institute to come up with a drainage masterplan for the entire city.
“Kasi interconnected ang mga komunidad natin. Hindi pwedeng iisa lang ang ayusin dahil maaapektuhan din ang iba. Kailangan ng malawakang solusyon para sa malawakang problema (Because our communities are interconnected. We can't fix just one thing because it will affect others as well. We need a comprehensive solution for a comprehensive problem),” he said.
