MANILA, Philippines — Waters from the Marikina River rushed toward the Manggahan floodway of the Pasig-Marikina flood control project after the eyewall of Typhoon Ulysses hit various parts of Metro Manila and Rizal province.

Videos from Radyo Inquirer showed raging water currents smacking into the floodgates that link the Marikina River to the Manggahan floodway, a system that ejects water towards the Laguna Lake.

Earlier, Marikina River’s water level went above 21.5 meters, which is higher than the water levels brought by Typhoon Ondoy in 2009. [ac]
