NewsTranscript
00:00Aside from Metro Manila, the price freeze was also implemented by the Department of Trade and Industry in other places that declared a state of calamity.
00:08President Bambang Marcos went around the affected areas and there were reports of missing people.
00:14Let's witness this with Ivan Mairina.
00:19The roads were flooded again.
00:23Many residents were trapped.
00:26Even hospitals and other establishments were flooded.
00:30Cars were also submerged.
00:33Flooding was widespread.
00:35There was no sign of rain because of the heavy rainstorm.
00:39According to the Philippine National Police, 21 people were injured, 5 were missing, and 15 were injured.
00:46The price freeze was also implemented by the DTI in places that declared a state of calamity.
00:52In the briefing that the President called earlier, he seemed to lack the information that will give him hope.
00:59In addition to the Office of Civil Defense, there was also a flood in Pinzala.
01:02This is only NCR. I need a nationwide report.
01:07The typhoon didn't only hit NCR.
01:10Yes, sir.
01:11We'll coordinate with Pag-asa too, sir.
01:16Okay, look. What I need to know, what we need for us to be able to decide what to do next.
01:24We have to understand.
01:27It's not very useful for me to hear that 164 requests for rescue were made.
01:35That means nothing.
01:37Where?
01:39130 of them were from one place.
01:41We went there right away.
01:43To see Pinzala more clearly, the President went to some of the most populated areas, starting from Valenzuela.
01:51Just on MacArthur Highway, the flood level rose.
01:55The GMA Integrated Use is still in effect around the President in Valenzuela City.
02:00We are now in the area where the flood level is still high.
02:04That's why we are driving in high trucks because small vehicles can't handle the high flood level here.
02:12Many residents are struggling to walk in the flood from Tuhon to Hita.
02:17Many businesses in Pinzala are closed.
02:19Every passenger has to ask for help or request for assistance.
02:25After the briefing from Mayor Wes Gatchalian,
02:28the President once again emphasized the lack of timely information on the loss of dam water.
02:34Yesterday, for example, a dam was flooded in Tulyahan River,
02:39which may have added to the flooding in some parts of Valenzuela.
02:42We have a weakness in communication.
02:44When a dam is opened, the downstream communities need to know and the LGUs.
02:53From Valenzuela, the President also passed through Ubandung and Malabon
02:57to Navotas where the reason for the heavy flooding is located,
03:02Navotas Navigation Gate that was once damaged.
03:06Before this, he asked MMDA and LPWH to find a temporary solution
03:12while the company that damaged the gate is still in operation.
03:15I want to see what the damage is. Is there something that we can do?
03:18Should we pour a sandbag or something? I don't know.
03:22But we have to get an engineer to look at it and to tell us what we can do
03:29so that the water won't continue to flow in.
03:33The water level is still high.
03:34The President also went around the evacuation centers in Barangay Balanday
03:37but he didn't go down because even in the evacuation center itself,
03:41the water level is still high.
03:42Thousands of Filipinos are staying in the evacuation centers.
03:46Among them is Maria Teresa Ragul,
03:49who gave birth to her baby girl here in the evacuation center yesterday
03:53and named her after her baby, Karina.
03:57For GMA Tiguete News, I'm Ivan Meir and you're watching Saksi.
04:02Public hospitals in four regions of the country were alerted
04:07when they were hit by typhoons Karina and Habagat
04:10as part of the strict monitoring of possible cases of leptospirosis
04:15following widespread flooding.
04:17Saksi, by Bernadette Reyes.
04:22Almost no one was affected by flooding in many places yesterday.
04:26From commuters
04:30to even their own cars
04:36and even inside their homes.
04:41There was no choice for the rescuers who were stuck in the beaches.
04:47Even though there is a high possibility that the waters were also flooded
04:52that there could be bacteria causing the disease of leptospirosis.
04:56So the water, when it flows or gets dirty,
04:59the floodwaters that have the flow of the water or the dirt of the water,
05:06there are live bacteria.
05:09When you swim in the water,
05:11when you swim in the water,
05:13if you have an injury to your foot,
05:15you drown the water
05:17or your conjunctiva is pierced, your eyes,
05:20the bacteria can enter your body.
05:23So you will have an infection.
05:26Now that the water is flooding here in Araneta Avenue in Barangay Tatalon, Quezon City,
05:32the garbage has piled up.
05:35According to the Department of Health,
05:37while the garbage is piling up,
05:39the population of fish is also increasing
05:41that could be the cause of the disease of leptospirosis.
05:45That's why Belen was forbidden by her children to swim in the water.
05:50It's really disgusting.
05:51And there's a lot of garbage floating around.
05:54I really didn't let them swim.
05:56But what about people like Arnel
05:58who need to walk in the garbage,
06:00sometimes even in the flood?
06:02It's scary.
06:03It's scary.
06:04That's why, of course,
06:05we need to do it.
06:06If we don't move, we won't be able to eat.
06:08According to the Department of Health,
06:10for those who swim in the flood,
06:12they should observe for up to two weeks
06:14because the incubation period is this long
06:16or the time before the symptoms of leptospirosis appear.
06:19There is also a chance
06:21that the disease is misdiagnosed
06:23as a simple concussion or hepatitis
06:25due to a skin rash or tan,
06:27but it's actually leptospirosis.
06:29It's good to be examined immediately
06:31so that the antibiotic can be treated immediately,
06:33especially if there is an open wound.
06:35If you can't eat right away,
06:37you may need dialysis
06:39and reach the critical stage
06:41where it will be difficult to be treated.
06:43The cause of leptospirosis is
06:45your liver, which turns yellow,
06:47and your kidneys,
06:49which causes renal failure.
06:51In addition to leptospirosis,
06:53the number of cases of leptospirosis is also increasing,
06:55which is why it is important to destroy
06:57the possible homes of mosquitoes.
06:59Hospitals in Metro Manila,
07:01Ilocos Region, Calabarzon,
07:03and Central Luzon are now on a blue alert.
07:05Code blue, that means
07:07the personnel are there,
07:09there is a command system installed.
07:11Reporting from GMA Integrated News,
07:13Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.
07:41San Juan, Pasig, Mandaluyong,
07:43Makati, and Manila
07:45will start tonight until 5 a.m. tomorrow.
07:47Manila Water will send a water tanker
07:49to provide water
07:51to affected areas.
07:55Problems in various places
07:57are the fences left by the storm
07:59Karina and Habagat.
08:01Like in a school in Pangasinan,
08:03where instead of preparing the entrance,
08:05the safety of the equipment
08:07is the priority.
08:09Reporting from GMA Regional TV,
08:11I'm CJ Torrida.
08:15Almost half of the strong winds
08:17hit that canopy
08:19in a park yesterday
08:21in Bagu City, Negros Occidental.
08:23This is still the effect of the storm
08:25Karina and Habagat.
08:27Because of the fear,
08:29the people running in the canopy
08:31ran away.
08:35The canopy moved for almost 3 minutes.
08:37No one was injured
08:39in the incident.
08:41Instead of preparing
08:43the entrance for the teachers
08:45of Anoled Elementary School
08:47in Mangaldan, Pangasinan,
08:49they are fighting one-on-one
08:51the school equipment
08:53after the flood entered the classrooms.
08:55The books and modules
08:57that we use here in the classroom.
08:59Because if the water enters the room,
09:01it will get wet.
09:03It will be a waste.
09:05The rainfall from Quizame
09:07was also affected.
09:09The school brigade was also cancelled
09:11because of the frequent rain.
09:13Payas Creek also flooded
09:15next to the school.
09:19In Nasugbu, Batangas,
09:21a 100-hectare rice field
09:23was flooded.
09:25According to the Provincial Agriculture Office,
09:27the damage to the agriculture
09:29in Batangas is worth more than
09:31Php 36 million.
09:33Like rice and corn.
09:35We are always prepared for this.
09:37We will provide
09:39planting materials, seeds again.
09:41That is our
09:43help to them.
09:45For GMA Integrated News,
09:47I am CJ Torrida
09:49of GMA Regional TV,
09:51your witness.
09:53The Office of the Vice President
09:55who traveled abroad
09:57is Vice President Sara Duterte
09:59with her family.
10:01Vice President Duterte
10:03traveled to Germany
10:05with her husband,
10:07children,
10:09and mother yesterday morning.
10:11In a statement,
10:13the OVP said
10:15it is unfortunate
10:17that she traveled with the storm.
10:19The OVP added
10:21that it was a personal trip
10:23of the Vice President
10:25with her family
10:27and that she had permission
10:29from the Office of the President
10:31that is scheduled for July 9.
10:33However,
10:35the Disaster Operations Center of the OVP
10:37is always ready to help
10:39the families affected by the calamity.
10:41Today, the OVP distributed food
10:43to the disaster responders
10:45in Barangay Malresa, Quezon City.
10:47There are also relief bags
10:49for the 300 families rescued.
10:51More than 200,000
10:53farmers were affected
10:55by the rain and flood.
10:57This is the story of
10:59Emil Sumangit.
11:09The flood hit
11:11this place
11:13called Tribu Community
11:15in Barangay San Isidro,
11:17Quinta Rizal.
11:19It was entered by Quinta Rescue last night
11:21to save the 15 people
11:23including children and adults
11:25who were trapped.
11:27A wall was placed in the area
11:29and it was flooded with rain.
11:31The place was isolated
11:33and there was no electricity.
11:35We got everyone
11:37and brought them here
11:39to the evacuation center.
11:41The rain stopped
11:43here in Quinta
11:45but most of the residential areas
11:47were still flooded.
11:49Next to the road,
11:51a parking lot was made
11:53for the residents
11:55who live in the flooded areas.
11:59The floodwaters
12:01hit the old refrigerators
12:03that were penetrated
12:05by the communities.
12:07Here, we saw the residents
12:09who were trapped in the flood
12:11to buy food
12:13and other necessities.
12:15We bought rice and vegetables.
12:17It was scary.
12:19There were also
12:21the residents who were trapped
12:23in their houses.
12:25The floodwater
12:27was still flowing.
12:29The floodwater was long-term.
12:31Before, it was just for a short period.
12:33There was no flood in Phase 1.
12:35Now, there is.
12:37What did you see, Captain?
12:39The floodwaters increased
12:41and the creek overflowed
12:43and it backflowed.
12:45According to the local government,
12:4785% to 90%
12:49of the residents were affected by the flood.
12:51Did you save anything?
12:53Clothes?
12:55Or money?
12:57I don't have money.
12:59There are pumping stations
13:01that have been running for 24 hours
13:03to lower the water level.
13:05In the early days,
13:07the rain stopped
13:09so that the water in the floodway decreased.
13:11It depends on the Marikina River.
13:13When it flows through the Marikina River,
13:15it is affected.
13:17My problem is in Barangay San Isidro.
13:19That's where the higher slopes
13:21of Rizal come from
13:23where the creeks
13:25of the villages along Imelda Avenue
13:27are flooded.
13:29According to the Rizal Police,
13:31three people were trapped after the flood.
13:33Six people were injured in the landslide.
13:35One person was missing
13:37while the evacuees
13:39in the evacuation center
13:41were more than 12,300 families.
13:43The Rizal Provincial Government
13:45has given money to those affected.
13:47They are happy to give a little help
13:49to our fellow countrymen
13:51like the partners
13:53in the food business
13:55Jesse and Kremi.
13:57Even though it rained,
13:59they opened their restaurant
14:01to give food to those affected
14:03by the flood.
14:05They are happy that even though
14:07their restaurant is closed,
14:09they will still receive their salary.
14:11We tried to give back
14:13to the community.
14:15It feels good to give.
14:17For GMA Integrated News,
14:19I'm Emil Sumangin, your witness.
