Residents wade through waist-deep flood in the Philippines

Trapped worshippers were rescued as waist-deep flood surged into a church during heavy rain in the Philippines.

Footage shows rescue volunteers helping the villagers trudge through the deluge in the Bulabog neighbourhood of Sorsogon City in Sorsogon province on December 1. The locals held their bags and shoes above the water, while some carried small children across the flood.
