NewsTranscript
00:00This is a live report from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:11I am here live in the Rojas District, Luzon, Quezon.
00:16This is one of the flooding areas of Luzon.
00:20The entire Metro Manila is under state of calamity.
00:25Despite the flooding, we are reporting this live on the GMA Network.
00:31We will be following the weather forecasts up to the regions.
00:43GMA Integrated News and GMA Regional TV are broadcasting live from different parts of Metro Manila,
00:50even to the provinces of Luzon, to bring you the latest news
00:56regarding the widespread flooding of Superbagyong Karina and Habagat.
01:01And here, Kapuso, in my position, in the Rojas District,
01:06the effects of Habagat, which was intensified by Superbagyong Karina, are very evident.
01:12Residents were evacuated one by one.
01:16In this area, it is only near Arnetta Avenue, Binaharit.
01:28This is the road that leads to Arnetta Avenue, Banahue.
01:34At this time of day, especially in the afternoon,
01:39this situation, definitely, I cannot imagine what kind of disaster this is.
01:48Because of the constant rain, the rise of rivers in this part of the Barangay Rojas District in Quezon City is at risk.
01:57I will just show you, Kapuso, that it is almost over.
02:02This is the river that is flooding.
02:05Here, in this river, where I am standing right now,
02:10our countrymen, in my position, are evacuating in case they can get plastic, like that,
02:18and maybe even make a living.
02:20The situation now is worse than in the past few days.
02:23The COVID-19 rate is higher now.
02:26Because of what happened yesterday, it was only up to Bewang.
02:30Up to Bewang? Now?
02:31Now?
02:35This is the situation now in the area of Haliraya and Campupot.
02:40From where I am standing right now, I just moved a few steps.
02:45Some of our countrymen are still inside their houses.
02:49This is what some of our people are saying.
02:52They haven't been rescued yet, but look at this.
02:57The water level has almost reached the roof of the house.
03:03We managed to rescue a family from the second floor of the house.
03:09We were able to rescue them while the rain was pouring.
03:16Almost all of the members of the family who live in that house are being rescued manually.
03:20Fortunately, there is a volunteer group here at the entrance of the house.
03:24A while ago, a senior citizen came out.
03:29They are afraid that the water level will rise too much.
03:33Look at the water level here.
03:39There are two more.
03:40There are two more.
03:41There are two more.
03:42They will be rescued.
03:53Sir, why did you decide to rescue them?
03:55Because the water level is rising.
04:00Where did you bring them?
04:02We brought them here.
04:03But we will go to the evacuation center.
04:08In the middle of the continuous rising of the water level.
04:12This is one of the situations that we faced.
04:15This is Barangay Rojas, District, Quezon City.
04:19The rescue volunteer group brought a rope to that place
04:27so that they can reach the house.
04:31According to the information, only five people are still there.
04:35They will be rescued after the flood.
04:38With the help of the volunteers, one by one, the trapped family was able to escape from their house.
04:44Meanwhile, the Holy Family Parish Evacuation Center was able to save more than 800 individuals
04:51from three barangays in the area, including the Rojas District.
04:55It's terrible, sir. It's terrible.
04:58It's like they are second class.
05:01You just go in and when you come out, they are in shock.
05:07They are in shock.
05:09The water level is already on the second floor.
05:11How are you here? Food, clothes, medicine?
05:14We have no problem here in our health center.
05:17This is just next to us.
05:19It's just a tumbling center.
05:21They were here earlier with the doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.
05:31We mentioned Araneta Avenue.
05:34A bus was stranded there.
05:36That is the video that was captured in the middle of the road.
05:41Halfway up the bus, the level of the flood was recorded.
05:46Later on, the driver of the bus peeked out of the window.
05:50The residents slowly approached to help.
05:55After a few minutes, the passengers went out one by one and climbed up the roof of the bus
06:02until a nearby boat rescued them.
06:09Meanwhile, Metro Manila is in a state of calamity.
06:12A town in Oriental Mindoro and two other towns in Cotabato are also in a state of calamity.
06:18Some have already declared a class suspension tomorrow, Thursday.
06:23Maris Ubal, Maris, is live.
06:25Maris!
06:29Because of the heavy rains caused by Tropical Cyclone Karina,
06:35which was caused by strong winds,
06:38Metro Manila Council has declared that the entire National Capital Region is in a state of calamity.
06:47Mr. Secretary, I move for the declaration of state of calamity in Metro Manila
06:52in light of the effects of Tropical Storm Karina.
06:56There's a motion to declare Metro Manila in a state of calamity
07:02by Mayor Francis Zamora and by Chairman Don, seconded by Mayor Lanny Cayetano.
07:08The motion is hereby approved that Metro Manila is now in a state of calamity.
07:13Thank you.
07:44In the state of calamity,
07:47the Quick Response Fund can be used to help those affected by floods and heavy rains.
07:55As of now, the number of evacuees in Quezon City has reached 1,000.
07:59The number of evacuees has reached 22,000.
08:02The number of barangay residents has reached 142,000.
08:05The area of Camanava, which is about 60 to 80 percent of the entire area,
08:10has been affected by floods.
08:12Marikina, which is also at a critical level, has also been affected by floods.
08:16According to the PNP, residents are now being forced to evacuate.
08:21They will be evacuated if the residents need to leave even if the area is already flooded
08:27because this is a life-threatening situation.
08:30The MMDA and Bureau of Fire Protection are also involved in providing assistance to those affected by floods.
08:35Before this, the State of Calamity in Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro, Cabacan, Cotabato,
08:43Pikit, Cotabato, and Barangay Butuan, Jose Abad Santos, in Davao Occidental, has also been declared.
08:48As of now, 96 roads, 13 bridges, 11 seaports are affected.
08:55There are 33 power interruptions, 3 water interruptions, and 7 communication lines are also affected.
09:02Earlier, there was also an emergency meeting at NDRRMC where President Bombong Marcos of DILG,
09:10DSWD, OCD, Pag-asa ng Sitwasyon, and Lawak ng Pinsala in the entire country,
09:16as well as the number of casualties and those missing.
09:19The President is particularly focusing on those affected by the opening of the dam gates.
09:24The President also assures that all those affected will receive assistance, even those in isolated areas.
09:32I just want them to focus on the areas where so far we haven't been able to enter.
09:42That will be the next priority of DSWD and of course Public Works
09:51because if the roads are landslides, they need help from the LGU to clear the roads.
09:59The only other main issue was...
10:21...that Malacanang has already declared that all classes of Region 3, Region 4A, Calabar Zone, and the National Capital Region will be suspended.
10:37That will be tomorrow, July 25.
10:40That was announced by Executive Secretary Lucas Beresamin just yesterday.
10:45Meanwhile, we are here in the Situation Room of the MMDA,
10:50where 24-7, the MMDA is monitoring the situation here
10:57so that all those who will be put in danger will be immediately called by the MMDA to the authorities,
11:03particularly to their flood control, rescue, and their hotline 136.
11:10To those of us who will also be put in danger,
11:16you can also ask for help on hotline 136 or post your requests for help, comments, or messages on the MMDA's Facebook page.
11:29That was the latest news from the MMDA's Situation Room here in Ortigas.
11:34Back to you in the studio.
11:40Thank you very much, Maris Ubali.
11:44Floods have hit seven provinces in Cagayan.
11:49The gale warning is still high due to the strong waves that hit their boats.
11:54And live from Roan, Jasmine Gabrielle Galvan is reporting.
11:57Jasmine?
12:01Connie, the Philippine Coast Guard is still monitoring the provinces in Cagayan,
12:06especially that fishermen are still not allowed to fish because of the gale warning.
12:18Ampion Shano raised the equipment in his house in Barangay Santa Cruz, Santa Ana, Cagayan.
12:24The flood is rising in the area due to the rain brought by Hurricane Karina.
12:29The water level suddenly rose. This is what it looks like in front of us.
12:34Your equipment ma'am?
12:36The appliances are wet.
12:39In the monitoring of the PDRRMO, several barangays in Santa Ana, Peña Blanca, Enrile, Apari, Bugay, Santa Teresita, and Calayan were affected by the floods.
12:51The Philippine Coast Guard is monitoring the provinces.
12:54Fishermen are still not allowed to fish because of the high gale warning.
12:59There are no fishermen fishing.
13:02No, ma'am. We are just stopping it.
13:05There are no fishermen fishing because they need to follow the law that we are implementing.
13:12For now, the gale is still strong and high in the province.
13:16That's why the fishermen's boats are still lined up in higher places so that the gale won't break.
13:24But some boats in the area of Barangay Palawig were destroyed.
13:28It was destroyed because of the gale.
13:31The gale is too strong.
13:33In Calayan, the authorities are helping to put the boats in a proper place so that the gale won't break.
13:41According to the PDRRMO, Tanging Anditor Bridge in Barangay Fusina,
13:46in the area of Lalo and Camalaniogan, vehicles are not allowed to pass today, July 24.
13:52Evacuees have already returned to their homes.
13:54But they are continuing to be careful in case of a flash flood, especially if there is a strong rain in the mountains.
14:02Since the rain will almost stop, we're expecting the volume of water to be reduced in Serang Madre
14:11and the caravans and motorbikers will come here to Cagayan.
14:15Connie, in the monitoring of the PDRRMO, as of 6 p.m., the Bunton River is at 2 meters, still far from the 6-meter critical level.
14:29Connie?
14:31Thank you very much, Jasmine Gabrielle Galbad.
14:34Update from Cavite area.
14:37More than 2,000 residents were evacuated from 21 evacuation centers in Lungsod, Bacoor,
14:43which was also included in the State of Calamity.
14:46Some of them say that the flooding is not a coincidence, and they are still looking for a way to survive.
14:52Live from there, John Consulta is on the air.
14:55John?
15:00About 40 out of 47 barangays here in Bacoor, Cavite, are affected by floods and flash floods.
15:09That's why Bacoor LGU is included in the State of Calamity.
15:13Calamity is the whole of Lungsod.
15:18Ms. Glenly's house is the only house in the 1,000-household area of Cavite with heavy floods.
15:24Inside their house, there are up to 20 floods.
15:28Even their bathroom is flooded.
15:30That's why they took care of their equipment so that it won't get wet.
15:34If it rains a little, there will be floods immediately.
15:38It's low here in our area.
15:41In Barangay Panapaan Uno, the floods are double-pervasive in Mang Tetaho, Mang Jose.
15:48Aside from flooding his house, he can't go out to look for a way to survive.
15:53We are selling taho.
15:55We can't go out because it's hard to go out.
16:00Our bags are heavy.
16:02We don't have money.
16:05I hope we can get rice.
16:11In the middle of the heavy rain here in Bacoor,
16:15we passed by Mang Tirso, who has a bag while walking in the heavy floods.
16:20When we asked him, he said he was walking to get food for his 5 children who were left at their house.
16:27I asked him if he's not afraid of the heavy floods.
16:31His answer is...
16:32I'm afraid. I have a wound, but we don't have food.
16:37My legs are broken.
16:39We don't have rice.
16:42I'm wearing slippers.
16:45I don't have slippers.
16:47I have nothing to do. My children need to eat.
16:49More than 2,000 residents were evacuated from 21 evacuation centers in Bacoor
16:55while the deployment of volunteer rescue units continues
16:59to evacuate the residents in need of help.
17:02We declare that Bacoor is now in a state of calamity.
17:08Many of our barangays, particularly District 1, are flooded.
17:13Some people still don't want to go to our evacuation centers.
17:18Let's not take any risks.
17:20We can't say for sure that the floods will continue.
17:24Ato, it's been an hour since the floods hit us,
17:34but we still feel the floods, just like what's happening behind me, in other parts of Bacoor.
17:39That's all for now here in Bacoor, Cavite.
17:41Back to you, Ato.
17:43Thank you very much, John Consulta.
17:45Karina is now one of the super-storms that continues to strengthen Habagat.
17:49Be alert, Kapuso, because it's possible that it will continue to rain tonight and tomorrow.
17:55Signal No. 2 in Batanes is still high because of the floods.
17:59Signal No. 1 in Baboyan Islands, northern portion of Mainland Cagayan, and Ilocos Norte.
18:05Earlier this afternoon, the floods were stronger
18:08and the super-typhoon category was reached while the typhoon hit Taiwan.
18:12It's still within the Philippine Area of Responsibility
18:16and it was last seen 380 kilometers away from Itbayat, Batanes.
18:21The winds are now at 185 kilometers per hour
18:25and the typhoon will hit at 230 kilometers per hour.
18:29It's expected to move at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
18:33According to the forecast, the typhoon is expected to landfall in Taiwan tonight.
18:39If the typhoon landfalls, it's possible that it will weaken again and become a typhoon
18:44and the Philippine Area of Responsibility will leave tomorrow.
18:48Next, the typhoon Babaybayin will hit Taiwan Strait and it will hit Southeastern China.
18:53Meanwhile, the super-typhoon Habagat will continue to strengthen
18:58and it will continue to bring heavy rains in the northern part of Luzon until Friday.
19:03Based on the data of Metro Weather, the rain will continue to pour in the Ilocos region
19:08Cordillera, Central Luzon, some parts of Calabarzon, Mindoro Provinces, and Bicol Region.
19:15Heavy rains are still expected in the Ilocos Provinces, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, and Mindoro.
19:23Be prepared for a flood or landslide.
19:26There will also be rains in some parts of Panay and Negros Island
19:30as well as in some places in the Caraga and Davao Region.
19:33It is also possible that there will be heavy rains in Metro Manila.
19:38So, be very careful, everyone.
19:42Meanwhile, we will talk to Chris Perez, Assistant Weather Services Chief and Spokesperson for Weather of Pag-asa.
19:50Good evening to you, Sir Chris.
19:52Good evening, Ms. Connie, and to all of our viewers.
19:55The rains in Metro Manila and the provinces still continue to pour, right, Sir?
20:00According to your reports, how much rain did we see?
20:05Well, Connie, we are looking at the rainfall of the heavy rains in our weather station in Metro Manila.
20:14In the span of 57 hours, that is from 8 a.m. on July 22 until 5 p.m. this afternoon,
20:21we saw 590 mm of rain.
20:25This is the current episode that Karina mentioned.
20:29So, we can see that there is a lot of rain,
20:33that is why we saw some parts of Metro Manila and the provinces
20:39in the Northern and Central Zone and in the Southern Luzon Area, Connie.
20:43And because of the heavy rains, a lot of things are still remembered, right?
20:47Like what happened in Baguio-Undoy in 2009.
20:51The question is, are there more heavy rains than in Baguio-Undoy?
20:57Actually, Connie, this is what we should do.
21:00Let's not compare the rainfall of Baguio and the rainfall of Habagat because they have different weather seasons.
21:06But the best information is, we looked at the Habagat episode in 2012.
21:11In 2012, there was a typhoon that was almost the same as Karina's typhoon.
21:16Our country did not get affected, it moved to the Taiwan area and Habagat also changed.
21:21And so far, this 2012 Habagat episode, it was enhanced by Typhoon Henner.
21:26It recorded around 1,007 mm of rain in the span of 3 days.
21:33Now, let's compare it with the current Habagat episode enhanced by Super Typhoon Karina.
21:38As I said earlier, in 57 hours, it recorded around 590.1 mm of rainfall in 2024.
21:48That's why we're comparing it because they have the same weather system as Habagat,
21:51and the same situation where two typhoons hit the eastern part of our country.
21:57If we look at 2012, there were more rains in the span of 3 days,
22:02but this current episode is not yet over, let's see, maybe there will be more.
22:05The 1,007.4 mm that we recorded in the 3-day period during the 2012 Habagat, Connie.
22:12And Super Typhoon Karina is already a type of typhoon that is far away in the country.
22:17Will it strengthen Habagat?
22:20Well, that's possible, Connie.
22:22That's why in our outlook of rainfall, we expect that the rainfall of Habagat,
22:28not only here in Metro Manila, but also in the provinces,
22:31we still expect that it will be possible until Friday.
22:33There is a chance of rain, then gradually, the rain will decrease this coming weekend.
22:39That is, if our forecast movement, the intensity of the typhoon,
22:43and its immediate effect on current Habagat will not change,
22:46which is expected here in the western section of Luzon, including Metro Manila.
22:49All right. Thank you very much for the update, Mr. Chris Perez,
22:53Assistant Weather Services Chief and Spokesperson for Weather ng Pag-asa.
22:56The land of a house in Ilocos Norte has been covered by landslides.
23:00While in Ilocos Sur, there are creeks and roads that cannot be passed.
23:06Live from Vigan, Ilocos Sur, this is Ivy Hernando of CME Original TV.
23:12Ivy.
23:16Emil, the monitoring of Ilocos Sur PDRRMO continues
23:21because no one from the Aplan Municipalities and Cordillera Region
23:25is possible to pass through the major river systems
23:29and flood the 1st District of Laloigan.
23:36In the town of Kawayan, the barangay officials
23:39monitored 50 houses in the mouth of the river
23:43after the water level rose.
23:46According to the residents,
23:48two years ago, the water level here in the mouth of the river
23:52was just a few steps away from the houses.
23:55But despite this, the residents still have no plans
23:58to evacuate because they want to protect their property.
24:02There are some houses that have already been evacuated
24:06but the residents still have no plans to evacuate
24:10because they want to protect their property.
24:12According to the PDRRMO,
24:15there are some roads and spillways that cannot be passed.
24:19The PDRRMO is also monitoring
24:22the three major river systems of Laloigan
24:25that are still at a normal level.
24:28If it turns red, it will be dangerous for our low-lying areas
24:32because it is possible for a large-scale flooding to occur
24:36especially here in Metro Vigan.
24:3888 families from 11 towns in Ilocos Sur
24:42were evacuated before a flood hit their area.
24:46In Ilocos Norte,
24:48two families were evacuated to the evacuation center
24:52after a flood in Barangay Tulawag City yesterday.
24:56The creek was also flooding there.
24:59In Barangay Barit,
25:01part of the island was covered by land.
25:04According to the CDRRMO Lawag City,
25:07no one was hurt in the landslide.
25:10The residents were already helping each other
25:13to evacuate the land.
25:16According to the data of the Ilocos Sur PDRRMO,
25:20as of 4.30 p.m. yesterday,
25:22there were already 130 families
25:25or more than 130 families
25:28that were evacuated.
25:30As of 4.30 p.m. yesterday,
25:32there were already 130 families
25:34or more than 450 individuals that were evacuated
25:37to their evacuation areas
25:40while others were still with their families.
25:43Emil?
25:47Thank you very much.
25:49I'm IV Hernando of GMA Regional TV.

26:15of a retired Philippine Air Force soldier
26:18in the middle of a high flood
26:20when he found his own son unconscious.
26:23Retired 2nd Lt. Reynaldo Silapan

26:34The flood reached the first floor of his house.
26:36He was also tried to be taken to the hospital
26:38but he was also brought back to life.
26:40His son, Airman 1st Class Jeron Silapan,
26:42was emotional when we talked to him.
26:44At 6 a.m.,
26:46when Jeron's father found out
26:48that his son was unconscious in the corner of his house,
26:50according to Chairman Alvin Zuniga,
26:52at the side of Tripa de Galina,
26:54at Barangay 183,
26:56that's where a lot of water leaked.
26:58The residents were also rescued,
27:00especially the children who were drowned in the flood.
27:04Next to Barangay 184,
27:06the flood water is also high.
27:08In St. Peter Street,
27:10the flood will reach Hita,
27:12but some young people
27:14screamed that the danger is not far away.
27:16In Bayanian Street in Maricaban,
27:18the water is still flowing since dawn.
27:20The danger is not far away
27:22in Luzon, Pasabaha.
27:24There is also a portion of Andrews Avenue
27:26near Naia Terminal 3
27:28that was flooded.
27:30Even though the cancellation of flights

27:34due to bad weather,
27:36Naia is still worried
27:38about the departure and arrival
27:40of airplanes.
27:42Here are some of our interviews.
27:43It's always good for me
27:45to do what I need to do,
27:47especially in my service.
27:49It reminds me that
27:51I always need to do my best.
27:53That's how it is, sir.
27:55I didn't expect this, sir.
27:57The flood, the storm,
27:59we really didn't expect
28:01that this would happen.
28:03We didn't expect
28:05that this would happen.
28:07We didn't expect
28:09that this would happen.
28:10We didn't expect
28:12that this would happen.
28:14It's hard for us
28:16because
28:18we really need to do our best.
28:20This is the first time
28:22after so many years.
28:24This road goes up to Bewang.
28:26What's the highest point?
28:28The highest point is Trinidad Street.
28:30If you can see there,
28:32people have already passed through there.
28:37Atom,
28:38here in Barangay 184
28:40in St. Peter Street,
28:42it's still flooded
28:44and vehicles can't pass through here.
28:46They're being pulled back
28:48because it's still hot in that area.
28:50There are also portions here
28:52where it's not raining anymore
28:54and the flood is decreasing.
28:56But there are also areas
28:58that are still flooded.
29:00That's why there's no electricity
29:02in their homes.
29:04That's why the people here
29:06are still praying
29:08for rain to stop
29:10so that the water
29:12in their communities will be gone.
29:14That's the latest.
29:16Back to you, Atom.
29:18Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
