Another netizen, Iza Labrague, posted on her Facebook, photos of the flooded mall.
Labrague told INQUIRER.net she saw floodwater inflowing around 2:10 p.m.
Meanwhile, the management of Farmers Plaza said the “very heavy mid-afternoon rains brought unexpected, unprecedented flooding inside our mall.”
The management assured it “immediately began dewatering operations” to ensure that normal operations will resume for its lessees and mall-goers.
“The water was removed within an hour after heavy rains stopped,” it said in a statement. /kga
