(UPDATE) MANILA, Philippines — Floods swamped parts of Quezon City on Saturday after an hour of record-breaking rainfall that exceeded levels seen during Trolical Storm 'Ondoy' in 2009, the local government said. The local government confirmed that 36 out of 142 villages were affected by waist-deep to chest-deep floods, especially in Districts 1, 3, and 4. Rainfall intensity in Quezon City reached 121 millimeters in just one hour, based on a preliminary analysis by the UP Resilience Institute and the UP NOAH Center, using rain gauges, information from the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) and the city’s IRISEUP system. They said the amount of rainfall was significantly higher than Ondoy’s peak of about 90 millimeters during its one-hour rainfall, which the city described as “phenomenal” or extraordinary. City officials admitted that the volume of rainwater overwhelmed drainage systems, resulting in flooding even in areas that were not usually submerged. The local government said that despite this, floodwaters receded quickly due to year-round declogging operations by the Department of Engineering, while cleanup teams were deployed to remove debris swept by the flood. Authorities vowed to push forward with the full implementation of the Quezon City Drainage Master Plan as a long-term solution, emphasizing that flood control projects must undergo thorough study and review before being carried out. At the time of the downpour on Saturday afternoon, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Flood Control and Information Center reported waist-deep water at Commonwealth Avenue near the UP Gym eastbound and at the Quezon Avenue–EDSA Tunnel in both directions, making both areas not passable to all types of vehicles. Earlier in the day, the Quezon City government confirmed waist-deep floods at: -A. Rodriguez Avenue corner D. Muñoz Avenue and Banlat Road fronting Rebecca Homes III in Barangay Tandang Sora -Anonas corner Savemore in Barangay Sikatuna Village -Holy Spirit Drive in Barangay Holy Spirit -Philcoa corner Masaya in Barangay Old Capitol Site -Fatima Street in Barangay San Vicente -Lagusan and Tabing Ilog Streets in Kaingin Bukid, Barangay Apolonio Samson.

In Sept. 2009, Tropical Storm Ondoy  brought an unusually high volume of rain, which generated high flooding in the Marikina River, causing extensive flooding in the Metro Manila and neighboring Rizal province.
