Tropical Storm Enteng causes flooding in Metro Manila, affecting major roads; 13K Marikina residents evacuate

Heavy rains from Tropical Storm Enteng caused flooding in several major roads across Metro Manila on Monday morning, with some areas still experiencing water levels up to eight inches as of Tuesday morning.

The MMDA reported that Commonwealth University Avenue, Edsa Roxas Intersection, Andrews Avenue Tramo, Sucat Road Evacuation Center, and other locations were affected by the floods, which have since subsided in many places but remain passable in others.

On Tuesday morning, floodwaters as high as eight inches continued to affect roads such as Katipunan Avenue, White Plains; United Nations Avenue, Taft northbound; Taft Ayala northbound; and other areas, with all affected roads becoming passable by 11 a.m.

In Marikina City, 13,000 residents evacuated due to rising water levels in the Marikina River on Monday morning, with local authorities lifting the evacuation alarm later as conditions improved.

Meanwhile, a 16-year-old girl's body was found floating in a Parañaque creek after she went missing during a drinking session, according to local authorities.

Enteng continues to move west northwestward over the West Philippine Sea, packing maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gustiness up to 115 kph, with six areas under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2.
