The Navotas City Public Information Office said the navigational gate was closed as part of precautionary measures to prevent floods from Uwan.
However, the strong winds and storm surge from the super typhoon still caused it to overflow with water ahead of the high tide.
The Navotas City government is currently using pumping stations to pump out the water, but will cease pumping out water if the water continues to rise.
The local government unit and its disaster risk reduction and management office is on alert to respond to emergencies amid the onslaught of Super Typhoon Uwan. — JMA, GMA Integrated News
