reports of flooding started to pour in. Meanwhile, the president declared a
state of calamity in metro manila. Immediately after president's declaration,

swing the pants around to fill the legs with air. Promptly knot off the
ways to trap the air and hold the pants underwater so that the air would
not escape.
