According to Jonathan Andal’s Friday report on “24 Oras,” at least 10 municipalities in the province remain flooded as of Friday including Meycauayan, Hagonoy, Calumpit and Pulilan.

“Kung pwede po sana kung ano po yung makakagamot dito sa amin. ‘Di lamang po kasi kami yung mayroong alipunga, marami rin po roon tapos doon po sa relocation site, marami rin pong may alipunga,” a resident said.“Kunwari po, hindi po natin maiiwasan na nabaha po kayo, kailangan po pag-uwi patuyuin po agad. Meron po kasing ibang sinasabi magpapahinga po muna, mapapasma hindi po pwedeng iligo agad, mali po. Patuyuin po agad ‘yung paa nang maiging maigi,” said Chua.

Governor Daniel Fernando said the provincial government has ample supply of the medicines and residents may go to the municipal or capital health center to obtain it.Meanwhile, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is expected to visit the flood-hit province on Monday, August 7, according to Fernando.
