Over 5,000 families or 21,000 individuals in Bulacan province were forced to evacuate over the weekend due to the floods brought about by the continuous rains, according to local government officials.

The latest figures were coming from an interview with Bulacan Vice Governor Alex Castro, who said the province is already prepared to declare a state of calamity, as reported by Chino Gaston on GMA’s “24 Oras Weekend” on Sunday.

“Ang NLEX was forced to close ‘yung Bocaue area natin, sapagkat medyo mahirap pong daanan,” Toll Regulatory Board spokesperson Julius Corpuz said. For his part, Governor Daniel Fernando said that out of the 24 cities and towns in the province, two cities and 14 towns experienced heavy floods over the weekend due to the continuous rains.

“Nag-report sila na unti-unti daw na pinapakawalan nila since pa ‘yung ganyan [na] sitwasyon,” he said in the same report.
