00:00We will talk to the Office of Civil Defense spokesperson, Edgar Posadas.
00:08Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:11Sir Rafi, good morning.
00:13It's raining but good morning to all of you and to all the viewers and listeners of your program.
00:19How widespread is the flooding of Baguio-Enteng here in Metro Manila?
00:26That's almost all of Metro Manila.
00:29That's why we, Sir Rafi, have already declared that there will be no entry to all public schools and offices of the government.
00:41Because the safety of our countrymen is paramount to us.
00:47We are also leaving their declarations to private entities for their employees, Sir.
00:55Are there any casualties reported due to this bad weather?
01:01There are still some that are being recorded, Sir, but these are still for confirmation.
01:06One was affected by landslides yesterday in Cebu.
01:12We also have one in Bicol, Sir, that we are confirming.
01:16Other than that, we have nothing to report as casualties, Sir.
01:23Why is it only Metro Manila that has suspensions?
01:25Are other areas still being studied?
01:27No, there are suspensions outside Metro Manila, Sir, and we leave that to our regional RCMC and local government units.
01:38We are closely in touch with the local government units of different regions.
01:43Starting yesterday, we are in Region 7, Region 8, Region 5, Region 4A, Region 4B, Metro Manila, Region 3,
01:53and we will continue to do so when we are interviewing Pag-asa here in Northern Luzon, Regions 1 and 2, Sir.
02:01How is the evacuation effort in areas heavily affected by the typhoon Enteng?
02:05Were there pre-emptive evacuations carried out?
02:07Of course, it is the most difficult to evacuate when there is heavy rainfall and strong winds.
02:13Yes, there were, like here in Region 5.
02:17Our regional director mentioned it earlier, I talked to Director Yukot.
02:22I haven't been able to get the exact numbers yet, Sir.
02:25Please let me know because we are still responding.
02:28But as we speak again in the next few days, I will be able to give you the data, Sir.
02:34So now, based on the initial assessment, will this be the same as the one in Baguiong Karina on July 24?
02:40I am no expert on this, but according to Pag-asa, there are no two typhoons that are the same.
02:54Although they are the same, they both enhanced the length.
02:59So we are monitoring two typhoons now in our eastern seaboard,
03:05the typhoon tropical storm Enteng that could reach the severe tropical storm,
03:11and the typhoon category when it comes out in the Philippine area of responsibility.
03:15And of course, we are also monitoring on the western side, Sir Rafi,
03:21I'm from Sambales, so we are monitoring the western side of Luzon
03:27along with the western side of southern Luzon, Mindoro provinces, and Batangas, Cavite.
03:34And of course, the western Visayas because of the effects of the typhoon.
03:39In any case, whatever the status of the typhoon and typhoon,
03:43our countrymen should be careful and monitor the news.
03:46Thank you very much for your time on Balitang Hali.
03:50Thank you very much, Sir Rafi. Long live to you and good morning.
