MANILA - At least 4 subdivisions in the town of Cainta, Rizal are still flooded with many people, especially children, pregnant and elderly, unable to leave the area, according to an ABS-CBN News field report.

In an interview, Cainta Mayor Mon Ilagan told ABS-CBN News said that although floods have subsided, they need to do more work in other villages that are still flooded.

"Meron pa kaming hindi napapasok, itong Don Mariano, Brookside, Villa Cuana, at Villa Rica," Ilagan told ABS-CBN's Doland Castro at around 3:30 am on Monday. 

He appealed for more relief goods such as food, clothes, medicines, especially since the evacuation centers and hospitals are getting filled up.

He said the rescue operations got delayed since the town doesn't have its own rubber boats and have to depend on the national government or other civic groups.

Ilagan said he himself got trapped on the first day in one of the town's garbage trucks, although he said he was able to call the national government to help his town. He said even the garbage trucks broke down from the floods.

Sen. Richard Gordon brought Philippine National Red Cross rubber boats to Cainta to help the rescue efforts there.

Ilagan said 10 people have been reported dead in Cainta, one of the badly-hit areas in the province of Rizal.

As of Monday morning, 7 barangays are still affected by floods, Ilagan said. 

From Sunday until 3:30 am. of Monday, Ilagan, together with Gordon, went to Vista Verde Executive Homes along Felix Ave. where they rescued many trapped children, pregnant women and elderly.

Around 90% of business establishments in Cainta have been affected by the floods and are shut down. This has affected the availability of food.

Food rations were only distributed starting Sunday after the floods partially subsided.

Gordon said he has asked for more Red Cross teams which can help rescue trapped families in Cainta. He said the government clearly has to buy more rubber boats so it can cope better with floods.

Only rubber boats, amphibious vehicles and 6X6 trucks can access the flooded areas.

The floods along Marcos Highway reached as high as the pink barrier fences (around 10-15 feet) of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). As of Monday morning, however, the highway was already passable.

ABS-CBN's Sagip Kapamilya also distributed relief goods at Cainta.
