00:00Here we have an update on the width of the Habagat and Baguiong Karina Peninsulas.

00:04We will talk to Director Edgar Posadas, spokesperson of the Office of Civil Defense.

00:09Director Posadas, good evening. This is PR Kanghel.

00:12Good evening, PS. Good evening to all the viewers and listeners of your program, ma'am.

00:18Director Posadas, how is your monitoring on the Habagat and Baguiong Karina Peninsulas?

00:23Do you have an estimate on how wide the Peninsulas are?

00:28Yes. This is a wide area, almost the whole of the Philippines.

00:33Aside from Baguio, the Habagat is also affected, especially on the western side.

00:48As of now ma'am, we have already recorded 686 barangays in almost all of the regions in the country.

01:00This is affecting 183,464 families or 882,861 individuals.

01:14As of now ma'am, we have a total of 90 evacuation centers catering to 8,230 families or 35,388 individuals.

01:26The number of our countrymen who were chosen to be burned by their relatives and friends is higher.

01:37But we are also monitoring their needs ma'am.

01:42Sir, today, did we have a problem with the evacuation?

01:46Because we know that there are some individuals who don't want to evacuate when it comes to this kind of situation.

01:54Yes. In our monitoring, it's not like before.

02:00Maybe, like your report earlier, I was listening, maybe they didn't expect that the effects are that big and the water level is rising fast.

02:12So basically, here in Metro Manila, that's what we focused on for the last three days now.

02:20That's our recommendation to suspend the classes tomorrow and the offices of the government.

02:34Because of the rise in the level of hope, basically, the rain will be like this tomorrow, although Karina will be released.

02:44But that's what's affecting us.

02:49Earlier, you mentioned that the President was here.

02:55In order to focus on the needs of our countrymen, we have elevated the alert level status of OC2 Red, along with other regional offices of OCD.

03:13Sir, in your monitoring of the effects of Karina and Habagat in our country, are there particular areas that need to be prioritized?

03:23Earlier, our President had his assessment, aside from Metro Manila, where Secretary Avalos recommended the DILG to put it in a state of calamity.

03:41They affirmed that when they had a meeting with the MMDA yesterday afternoon, after that meeting with the President.

03:47Basically, this Metro Manila plus this region of 4A, Calaparzon and Region 3, is what we are focusing on.

04:01We may recommend to put it in a state of calamity.

04:08But we will wait for the decision of the officials.

04:14Director, this is the last question. Do you have anything to remind our countrymen?

04:18Although the typhoon is about to come out, but according to the forecast, there are still chances of rain until Friday.

04:25Do you have anything to remind our countrymen?

04:28Yes. Thank you.

04:30To our countrymen, although the typhoon is about to come out, let's not be too confident because we can still feel the effects of the rain.

04:39They said that there are strong antecedent rainfalls.

04:43Right now, we are experiencing heavy rainfall in Metro Manila.

04:47Let's not be too confident. Our safety is a shared responsibility.

04:54Your government, your OCD and your Henry Mosey are here and on our highest alert to meet your needs.

05:08If we need to be alert, if we need to evacuate, let's do it.

05:17For your own good and safety.

05:21Once you are safe, you can keep your family safe and your community safe.

05:26Thank you very much ma'am.

05:28Director Edgar Posadas of the Office of Civil Defense. Thank you very much.
