Habagat Floods Metro Manila: List of Affected Roads and Communities on August 9

The relentless Southwest Monsoon, known locally as Habagat, has once again tested the resilience of Metro Manila. As of early Sunday morning, August 9, 2026, several major roads and barangays across the capital region are submerged, disrupting travel and daily life. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and local government units have released detailed reports as of 8:20 a.m., and we are listing them here for the safety of our kababayans.

This is not just a city problem. It is a reminder that our rural and urban communities are connected by weather, by water, and by the need for preparedness. In the spirit of bayanihan, let us look out for one another.

What Does PAGASA Say About the Weather?

The state weather bureau PAGASA has warned that the Southwest Monsoon will continue to bring rains over Metro Manila and several areas in Luzon and the Visayas throughout Sunday. This means the flooding could worsen, especially in low-lying areas and near rivers. We urge everyone to monitor updates from local authorities and to avoid non-essential travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the flooding in Metro Manila dangerous?

Yes. Some areas like Barangay Doña Imelda in Quezon City have waist-deep water. This poses risks to health, safety, and property. Avoid wading in floodwaters to prevent leptospirosis and electrocution.

Can I still drive in Metro Manila today?

Many major roads are passable, but several key routes are not. In Pasig City, for example, Kabutihan Road is not passable even to sedans. Check the list above before heading out.

How long will the Habagat rains last?

PAGASA says the rains will continue throughout Sunday. The situation may change quickly, so stay tuned to official announcements from the MMDA and your local government.
