MANILA, Philippines?The flood has reached even the stars.

Actress Cristine Reyes was forced to stay on the roof of her two-story house in Marikina City when water swept into houses and businesses on Saturday because of Tropical Storm ?Ondoy? (international codename: Ketsana).

Reyes was rescued at 2 a.m. on Sunday by actor Richard Gutierrez using a speedboat.

Reyes had been calling friends as early as 1 p.m. on Saturday when water began to rise to the second level of her house in Provident Villages, Gutierrez?s sister Ruffa reported on her Twitter account.

?Chard (Gutierrez?s nickname) just talked to Cristine. She?s almost hysterical. It?s dark. She?s freezing. Still no rescue in sight,? Ruffa said.

Reyes was with her mother, two nieces?aged 4 and 6?and her 12-year-old sister, the actress said on Saturday night in an interview with broadcaster Jessica Soho on GMA 7.

?Cristine?s relatives were rescued by (sister) Ara Mina and their brother using a Jet Ski,? Ruffa added.

Actress Jean Garcia and her daughter Jenica opted to leave their two-story home in Vista Real Classica on Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City at around 2 a.m. on Sunday for fear that the flood would reach the roof, according to their talent manager Manny Valera.

?After I spoke with Jean at 10 p.m. on Saturday, I immediately sought help from [Quezon City Vice Mayor] Herbert Bautista, who sent a rubber boat to the area. A section of the Marikina River runs near where Jean lives. The river overflowed,? Valera reported.

Valera, quoting Garcia?s handler Beth de los Reyes, said the actress and her daughter had braved through waist-high water to go to the house of fellow GMA 7 contract artist Jennylyn Mercado.

At Mercado?s home, mother and daughter ate, changed clothes and rested a bit.

?They later moved to the house of Jean?s grandmother also in Quezon City,? said Valera. ?Jean had cried a lot,? he added. ?They suffered a lot. Four years ago, their house in Green Hills was razed to the ground.?

Relatives of industry personalities Malou Santos, Bobot Mortiz and Olivia Lamasan also reside in Vista Real.

Siblings John and Camille Prats, who live in Village East Executive Homes in Cainta, Rizal, sent word at 10 a.m. on Sunday to TV networks that they were in need of rescue.

The Prats live with their parents, two siblings and Camille?s 9-month-old son Nathan.
