We can&#x27;t find a route to ply so we have to temporarily stop.)Several parents and their children also got stranded on their way home from school.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/weather-traffic/2025/9/29/residents-in-malabon-caught-off-guard-by-afternoon-thunderstorm-1455">READ: Residents in Malabon caught off guard by afternoon thunderstorm</a></div>&quot;Sobrang hirap po kasi di mo masasabi, yang baha, may daga na nakakalat, may leptos, mahirap sa mga bata kung ganyan,&quot; said Charmaine Mojica, a parent.(It&#x27;s so hard because it&#x27;s quite dangerous for our health, since we may get leptospirosis.)&quot;Di na kami makakatawid, di pa kami pinapasakay ng tricycle, yung iikutan nila, barado na traffic na,&quot; she added.(We could not pass through and the trike drivers are not taking rides.)One motorist figured in an accident as he bumped into a gutter due to rising water.He says this incident could have been avoided if only the flood control projects worked properly.&quot;Dapat makulong na ang dapat makulong, wala tuloy ako kita, walang panggatas, ilang araw yan gagawin, iwrecker na yan.
