MANILA (UPDATED) -- More than 3,400 residents, or 1,062 families, have been evacuated from various parts of Manila as the city government implemented preemptive evacuation measures on Sunday ahead of the expected onslaught of Super Typhoon Uwan.According to the Manila City Government, evacuees have been transferred to 10 designated evacuation centers across the city. Among them are over 200 families currently staying at the Hermenegildo J. Atienza Elementary School in Baseco, Manila.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/weather-traffic/2025/11/9/-uwan-close-to-making-landfall-over-aurora-2045">READ: 4 areas under Signal No. 5 as &#x27;Uwan&#x27; traverses Luzon</a></div>City officials ordered all barangays to carry out early evacuations, particularly for residents living in low-lying and coastal areas near Manila Bay. Most evacuees come from these vulnerable communities, which are prone to flooding and storm surges.Among those rescued were senior citizens Delia and Elisio Robles, both of whom are suffering from health conditions. The couple had to be carried by personnel from the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) while seated in their wheelchair and chair. &quot;Ang misis ko galing sa stroke. Hindi ko alam kung ano itong nasumpungan namin na nagkaganito kami. Sa ngayon okay lang. Wala naman kaming pupuntahan. Bahala na sila kung anong mabuti para sa amin,&quot; said Elisio. Other residents took alternative measures to protect themselves from the rain. Rosario Lliemos, a senior citizen from Barangay 649, Baseco, made an improvised raincoat out of plastic. &quot;Ginawa ko lang po ito kasi wala po akong pambili,&quot; she said.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1762703957639G5T3800agAAAVFL.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Rosario Lliemos, a resident of Brgy. 649 in Baseco, Manila, uses plastic bags as an improvised raincoat.

May mga text messages pa tayong natatanggap. Sa ngayon hindi kailangan ng rescue, ang kailangan sa kanila pumunta na lang ng kusa,&quot; said Diana Espinosa, Chairman of Bgy. 649, Baseco, Manila.The city government has opened 28 evacuation centers across Manila to accommodate more evacuees. They have also prepared 25,000 doses of doxycycline to distribute to residents potentially exposed to floodwaters.In an emergency broadcast, Mayor Isko Moreno announced the implementation of a price freeze on essential goods in all public markets in Manila to prevent profiteering amid the typhoon threat.&quot;Pumanatag kayo, we will do our best. Bago tayo matulog, ipagdasal natin ang ating bansa - huwag lang ang Maynila. Kaliwa&#x27;t kanan, tayo ay binibisita ng mga hamon ng ating kapaligiran tulad ng lindol at bagyo. Nawa&#x27;y pagtibayin ng Diyos ang ating kalooban at iligtas tayo sa kapahamakan dala ng mga trahedyang ito,&quot; said Moreno.<div> </div><div> </div>
