00:00A more detailed assessment on the left hand side of Baguio, Carinat and Habagat.
00:05That is what President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. ordered the government agencies
00:10to help our fellow countrymen who were severely affected by the calamity.
00:15The incident of a sinking oil tanker in Bataan is also being targeted
00:20to immediately stop the oil spill.
00:23That is what Kenneth Paciente reported.
00:26President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. was right about the situation of the country.
00:30This is followed by the widespread flooding of the upper reaches of Habagat
00:34which was intensified by Hurricane Carina.
00:36Earlier, the President personally informed the Philippine government
00:39about the situation briefing at the Presidential Security Command Center Headquarters.
00:44The agencies of the government laid down their steps following the calamity.
00:48The President ordered the government agencies to make a more detailed assessment
00:53of the situation throughout the country
00:55to find out what other assistance should be provided
00:58and what needs should be prioritized.
01:01What we need to know now is what is the situation then.
01:04Is there still water? Can we enter?
01:06Do we need to clean the oil tank?
01:09What we need to ascertain now is what is the situation as of this morning
01:19and where do we go? Where do we send our people?
01:22Where do we send our equipment?
01:23That's what we need to define, to decide now.
01:28So, you know, it's not only NCR.
01:32But it's not NCR only.
01:34It's Region 3, Calabarzon 4A.
01:36So, we need to look at it.
01:39Where are the...
01:41We have to make an assessment as to where are the areas that should be prioritized.
01:48The Executive Board also laid down the infrastructure
01:51such as floodgates, pumping station, and several damaged bridges.
01:55What we need to know is not what's required but can we use it or not.
01:59That's all for now.
02:01That's all for now.
02:02If we can use it or not.
02:04Oh, God.
02:06The storm is so strong.
02:09Yes, sir.
02:10No matter what you do there, you can't control it.
02:15The President also ordered the DENR to conduct an environmental assessment
02:19on the sinking of an oil tanker in Bataan
02:22that contains 1.4 million liters of oil
02:25to avoid oil spills.
02:27Hopefully, we can catch it before landfall.
02:30But with the seas being so...
02:36It's a big ocean.
02:39The Coast Guard was reporting 3-4 meters high waves.
02:44Yes, sir.
02:45It's very hard to do anything.
02:47But hopefully, that will help us dilute the oil spill.
02:54Hopefully.
02:55But we'll see.
02:56We'll have to make that determination as to where the tides are running,
02:59how the wind is running,
03:02where, if in case, it is headed towards coastal areas.
03:09Which coastal areas are those so that we can try and prepare for that.
03:13According to the executive,
03:15the situation of those staying in evacuation centers should be addressed.
03:19The next part of this is going to be healthcare.
03:23Sometimes, we forget that.
03:25But those in the evacuated areas will need to...
03:28They need to have a clinic in every evacuation center
03:32or at least a medical team.
03:35The long-term problem, usually, when this happens, is medicine.
03:38So, that's another thing we have to prepare with,
03:42the medicines I'm talking about are the obvious ones.
03:52But the other medicines are the maintenance medicines of the seniors
03:57because they were separated from their supply.
04:00President Marcos Jr. also wanted the government agencies to act faster,
04:05which is what the concerned agencies insisted.
04:08Until 6 a.m. this morning,
04:10six places in the country declared a state of calamity,
04:13including Metro Manila.
04:15We have to be very focused in the use of what we have.
04:18So, that's what we need to determine.
04:21Where are the areas that still are in the rescue phase?
04:27Until now, we were still rescuing people.
04:32Where are the areas that are now in the relief phase?
04:36That doesn't mean that it's not mutually exclusive.
04:41You can be in the rescue phase and the relief phase at the same time.
04:44So, that's what we need to know.
04:46As of now, Bagyong Karina is out of the country.
04:49According to DOST Pagasa,
04:50the time for the next days is expected.
