MANILA, Philippines—At least three major roads in Metro Manila were flooded on Sunday afternoon as a result of the nonstop rains almost throughout the entire day, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said.

According to reports of the MMDA Metrobase, the south-bound lane of Chino Roces (former Pasong Tamo) Avenue under the Magallanes Interchange in Makati City was not passable to light vehicles as of 5:05 p.m. due to tire-deep floods.

Both lanes of the EDSA- P. Tuazon tunnel in Quezon City were under gutter-deep water since 3 p.m. but remained passable to vehicles as of this writing.

The MMDA said vehicles on the south-bound lane of the EDSA-Taft Avenue in Pasay City  were moving slowly because of the gutter-deep floods in the area.
