The Valenzuela City government reported that all pumping stations and portable floating water pumps across the city are fully operational amid persistent heavy rains.

In a social media post late Saturday, 8 August, the local government said the pumps were operating continuously to help lower floodwater levels in areas affected by flooding brought by the southwest monsoon or Habagat.

“Dahil nakataas ang RED Rainfall Warning sa Metro Manila at patuloy na tumataas ang lebel ng tubig, nakaantabay ang ating mga tauhan at patuloy na pinatatakbo ang mga pump upang agad na matugunan ang pagtaas ng tubig at makatulong na maiwasan ang mas matinding pagbaha,” the LGU said.

Metro Manila remains under a Red Heavy Rainfall Warning, with the Valenzuela government assuring residents that personnel continue to monitor areas affected by rains and flooding.
