MANILA, Philippines — A mall in Barangay Sto. Niño of Marikina City, which lies near the Marikina river,  was flooded on Thursday after overnight rains from Typhoon Ulysses.

In a video from Radyo Inquirer, several individuals were seen evacuating out of the mall, which sits directly beside the Marikina River’s famous riverbanks.

Floodwaters along the mall’s roads ranged from knee-deep to neck-deep as water levels in Marikina River overflowed, reaching a level higher than 21.5 meters.

Due to the continuous rains, water from the higher lands in Rizal province like Antipolo, Tanay, and Baras trickled down to the Marikina river.
