6 Olongapo villages submerged in floods
Six villages in Olongapo City in Zambales province were submerged in floodwaters due to heavy rains on Monday, a local official said Tuesday.
Olongapo City Mayor Bong Gordon said some houses were submerged in neck-deep floods, forcing residents to stay on their home's roofs.
Gordon said rescue operations have been launched by teams from the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority for the trapped villagers. He said at least 70,000 residents were affected by the floods.
The mayor said he has ordered the suspension of classes in all levels in the city. He added that some affected residents have been brought to the Olongapo City National High School, which has been turned into an evacuation center.
Weather bureau PAGASA said provinces in Luzon and Visayas will continue to experience monsoon rains. It warned residents against possible flashfloods and landslides.
It also warned small sea crafts against rough seas in Luzon and Visayas due to the southwest monsoon. With a report from Doland Castro, ABS-CBN News

God Bless Olongapo and Zambales
Sana, humupa na ang baha sa Gapo at Zambales. Laki akong Subic at Olongapo at hindi ko matandaan na bumaha diyan noon, kahit ilang araw umuulan. Sira-sira na ang kalsada noon dahil sa tagal ng ulan, hindi bumabaha. Bukas pa ang base noon. Bakit ngayon, grabe ang baha? Ang mga relatives din namin sa Zambales, baha din daw doon. Sana humupa na ang ulan para masimulan na ang recovery nga mga kababayan natin. Isama natin sila lahat sa ating mga panalangin.

barangay
I think the correct term should be barangay. I am from sta. rita, and the flood in our place specifically in Cristobal St. raised up to .75 meters and when we took a view at Baltazar St., the water is neck-deep.. BARADO kasi ang mga DRAINAGES... calling the attention of LGU's.. meron po kaming sapa/canal sa lugar na ito, kaso nde nahuhukay at pinagtayuan na din ng mga bahay, which i think is illegal..
