Reached Amulung town in #Cagayan. Trying to get to Alcala and Gattaran but many areas are still inundated. Hundreds of vehicles stranded along the highway #UlyssesPH
A common sight now in Amulung: people living in makeshift tents along the highway. Residents say they still can’t return to their flooded homes. Many have been here since last Thursday. #Cagayan#UlyssesPH
Residents who are currently living in makeshift tents along the highway in Amulung are appealing for aid, water and food. #Cagayan#UlyssesPH
Made it to Alcala. Many parts of the town remain inundated which is hampering relief operations. Water has receded but smaller vehicles are still not able to cross flooded bridges #Cagayan#UlyssesPH
This is where the public market in Baybayog, Alcala town used to be. Barely anything left standing after the deluge #Cagayan#UlyssesPH
Many residents in Alcala still on rooftops and terraces, appealing for aid. Drinking water, food urgently needed #Cagayan#UlyssesPH

Flood has subsided in many parts of Alcala. But debris in the aftermath of the deluge is slowing down relief operation as inner roads are still not passable. In Jurisdicion village, residents had to walk and meet stranded relief op vehicles for aid. #Cagayan#UlyssesPH
Alcala Mayor Cristina Antonio: 24 out of 25 barangays in our town were flooded, 7 were totally submerged. Some barangays are still isolated, inundated. Humuhupa ang baha pero mabagal #Cagayan#UlyssesPH
Antonio: 4 fatalities in Alcala. 4,630 remain displaced. Hindi pa kasama diyan yung mga kababayan natin na nasa kabahayan nila at binaha at umakyat sa mga bubong as taas ng bahay. #Cagayan#UlyssesPH
So we were able to interview DILG Usec. Jonathan Malaya earlier on @ukgdos. Here are some answers you might be looking for about the Metro Manila quarantine/lockdown that’s happening on March 15.
THREAD.
Q: I live outside Metro Manila. But I work there. Can I still go?
A: Yes, you can. Although you would need to show company IDs at the checkpoint. For those who do not have company IDs but have work in Metro Manila, gov’t is still discussing possible requirements.
Q: I live overseas and I have a trip to Manila within the lockdown period. Can I still go?
A: Yes (barring other travel restrictions from your country of origin). But you can only go to MM. If you live outside (Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, etc.), you will not be allowed to exit MM
