MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) dispatched before dawn on Sunday several rescue teams to the flooded Marikina City and Providence Village in Cainta, where residents have been forced onto their roofs.

Providence Village, a barangay where both middle and rich classes converge, was hardest hit by the torrential rains brought by typhoon Ondoy.

Rescue teams brought eight rubber rafts and an aluminum boat to the village to save residents trapped on the second floor of their homes or on their roofs. Among those trapped were actresses Kristine Reyes, Jean Garcia and daughter Jenica Garcia, who sought help through a television showbiz talk show Star Talk aired over GMA-7 on Saturday afternoon. Reyes claimed during the program that she and her family have been trapped on the roof of their house for more than 12 hours with nothing but the clothes on their back.

Jenica Garcia said their house in Vista Real was just across the Marikina River which swelled up fast and unleashed floods that moved up the floors of their three-story home.

Some 19 PNRC teams have also been dispatched to Pasig City, Valenzuela City, Quezon City, Parañaque City, Mandaluyong City, Makati City, Manila, Muntinlupa City, Taguig City, Antipolo City as well as the municipalities of Baras, Cainta and Tanay in Rizal Province.
