00:00The flood in Mindanao is still high. We got an update from Rhea Torres. Good evening, Ma'am Rhea.
00:08Yes, good evening to you and good evening to our listeners.
00:12Right, Ma'am Rhea. This is Dayan Kirar of Ulat Bayanan on PTV.
00:16Ma'am, in your monitoring, will it continue to rain in the region of Mindanao and how long will this last, Ma'am?
00:23So, we noticed that there is a developing low-pressure area here in the northern part of Mindanao.
00:29And based on our latest forecast, it is possible that it will continue to rain.
00:34There is also a possibility that there will be scattered floods in the areas of Caraga and Davao region.
00:40Meanwhile, in the northern part of Mindanao, although there are chances that they will experience isolated rain showers,
00:46these are sudden and temporary rain showers.
00:49Mostly, it is possible that Caraga and Davao regions will experience rain showers now.
00:54And while we are closely monitoring this low-pressure area,
00:58over the next few days, more areas of our country, particularly in the Mindanao area, will experience rain showers.
01:05So, before the weekend ends, we expect that the rain showers will continue, especially over Visayas and Mindanao for now.
01:13So, Ma'am Rhea, this is the LPA that you have seen, the northern part of Mindanao.
01:18What is the possibility that this LPA will become a storm?
01:22For now, for the next 24 hours, the possibility is low.
01:25But the possibility that this will become a storm will not go away.
01:28And it will become a storm since it is already inside our Philippine area of responsibility.
01:35Alright.
01:36Usually, vehicles are submerged in the flood, Ma'am.
01:39Ma'am, do you have a map of the areas in Mindanao that have been affected the most?
01:45For now, because we still need to gather data on the areas that have been affected,
01:52and not to mention, our data is limited to the stations of hope in the area.
01:59So, we still need to gather data so that we can get exact numbers of the areas that have been affected.
02:06For the fishermen, Ma'am, how dangerous is the situation now?
02:10For now, based on our forecast, more on the western section,
02:14our waters are a bit unstable due to the effects of the southwest monsoon.
02:18And we can see that the waters are still cloudy,
02:23especially here in the western part of Mindanao where the low-pressure area is high.
02:28As much as possible, let's not go too far.
02:31And if the sea level is high, be careful when planning to cross.
02:36Okay. Ma'am, aside from the low-pressure area you mentioned,
02:39I understand that there is also a tropical depression, but this is outside the country.
02:44Is this correct? Is there a possibility of entering the Philippine area of responsibility, Ma'am?
02:49For now, the movement of the tropical depression is going to Vietnam.
02:54So, it is not expected that it will reach our country.
02:57Although the effects of the southwest monsoon are enhanced,
03:01but more on the Palawan area,
03:03that's why we are experiencing the rains, especially here in the Calayan Islands and in Palawan.
03:09So, over the past few days,
03:12the rains that we have recorded in Palawan are stronger as compared to some parts of our country.
03:19Ma'am Rhea, please remind our countrymen, especially those in the Mindanao region.
03:25So, for the next few days, while the effects of the low-pressure area continue,
03:30especially in the areas of Mindanao, Visayas, and also in the southern Luzon,
03:34particularly in the Mimaropa and Bicol region area,
03:37for this week, let's expect the rains that we will experience
03:42and possibly the strong rains that will also cause floods.
03:47As much as possible, let's prepare for that.
03:49Also, let's monitor the heavy rainfall warnings that will provide details
03:54on which areas will possibly be affected or will experience heavy floods or landslides.
04:00Let's coordinate with our local government units.
04:04Thank you very much for the update, weather forecaster Ms. Rhea Torres.
