MANILA — Parts of Marilao, Bulacan were submerged in floods on Monday due to rains triggered by Tropical Storm Enteng.

A little before noon on Monday, the water level of Marilao River was deemed close to overflowing, with only two meters left as the water continued to rise due to incessant rains.

Houses around the river area, particularly in Barangay Ibayo, were inundated.

Some roads in the town were also deemed impassable to light vehicles while other residents parked their vehicles on a bridge to protect them from flooding.

The town's market was also closed due to the floods.

Flooding rose quickly in the Arsega, Sampalukan and Ilalim ng Tulay areas in Barangay Tabing Ilog, making them impassable to light vehicles as of 9 a.m.

M. Santiago Street in Barangay Lias is also not passable to light vehicles.

The McArthur Highway, a major thoroughfare in the province, is heavily flooded as well.

Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando has suspended classes at all levels and closed government offices, except for health, social services, and emergency response units, due to the effects of Tropical Storm Enteng.
