MANILA — Heavy rains brought by Tropical Storm Paeng (Nalgae) caused severe flooding in different areas in Metro Manila early Sunday morning.
In the City of Manila, Paeng brought gutter-deep floodwaters along Taft Avenue, Padre Burgos, and España. While TM Kalaw Street became impassable for vehicles due to heavy flooding.
A taxi got stuck in flood water on España Boulevard. Motorists were advised to look for alternative routes.
Knee-deep flooding was also experienced in G. Araneta Avenue to Caliraya Street in Quezon City, which made it also not passable for light vehicles.
