Transcript
00:00Some of the early patients of the Philippine General Hospital visited the hospital this morning.
00:06And some of those who are confined were forced to leave the hospital.
00:10The latest news was brought to you by James Agustin.
00:16Patients were evacuated from the outpatient department after a sudden fire
00:20in the compound of the Philippine General Hospital this morning.
00:24Some were riding stretchers. Some were also in wheelchairs.
00:28Edeline was with her husband who had a check-up at the neurologist.
00:32They were in the hospital at 3 a.m.
00:35When we entered, they told us that we can't continue because there was a fire in the ward.
00:42That's why we all went out.
00:45Ms. Perlita from Pantagi had a laboratory test.
00:49The smoke was so strong in the back.
00:52That's why the tents were removed by the guards.
00:56They said, what are you doing there?
00:59They told me because I was surprised.
01:02There was a second fire alarm.
01:04Ms. Ponde was in the 13th firetruck of the Bureau of Fire Protection,
01:08aside from the fire volunteer group.
01:10The fire broke out at 7 a.m.
01:13In the initial investigation, the Manila Fire District burned the so-called call room
01:17in the mezzanine in the main building.
01:19What we are involved in is a mezzanine,
01:22which is a doctor's quarters where our doctors rest.
01:30What we are involved in is the overheating of the air-conditioning.
01:37Maybe because of the overuse, that's why there was an overheating.
01:43No one was injured in the incident.
01:46The initial cost of the hospital bed was P15,000.
01:49At 7.23 p.m., the patients were again admitted to the outpatient department.
01:54Dolores' cousin, who has a check-up in Buto,
01:56was taken to the ambulance to be taken back to Cavite.
01:59They will reschedule it next week.
02:02Of course, we're afraid.
02:04It's a good thing that we're not inside.
02:06My patients are in a stretcher.
02:08It's hard to stretch.
02:10The PGH has yet to issue a statement.
02:13James Agustin is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:18We will talk to the PGH Spokesperson, Dr. Jonas Del Rosalio,
02:23at the Philippine General Hospital this morning.
02:26Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
02:29Good morning, Connie. Thank you for the opportunity.
02:33Okay. What steps is the PGH taking
02:35for the patients who were evacuated because of the fire this morning?
02:40Actually, Connie,
02:41there was a small fire and then there was a fire.
02:47The fire was actually contained in,
02:50as mentioned in the news,
02:52in a room in Mezzanine,
02:54the call room of our residents.
02:58There was no fire,
03:01other than walls and flooring.
03:03So mostly, what was heard were some office materials.
03:09But there was smoke.
03:13So the patients in Wards 1 and 3 needed to be evacuated.
03:18They were placed in our A3.
03:20But now, they have been returned.
03:23All the patients have been returned to where they came from.
03:26And there were no problems with their health,
03:31no injuries to the patients who were evacuated?
03:35There were no smoke inhalation injuries
03:39or their health deteriorating.
03:42That's the report we received from the wards where they came from.
03:50It's good because the people who responded
03:55had some knowledge of the fire drill.
03:58That's why it was easy to evacuate the patients in the wards.
04:03And the patients,
04:06because the place where the fire took place
04:10behind Wards 1 and 3,
04:12was also close to the OPD.
04:15That's why for a while,
04:19the OPD was closed.
04:21I think the patients were told to close the outpatient.
04:26But now, the OPD is open again.
04:29So the operation is normal in all the departments of your hospital?
04:33That's right.
04:35Earlier, you said that the damage was not that big.
04:41You said that only the papers were affected.
04:45But aside from that,
04:47are you also looking at other facilities?
04:50Maybe there is a need to find a way,
04:54particularly in the wiring,
04:55because the PGH has been around for a long time
04:57and it was burned several times.
05:00Actually, if you remember,
05:01a few months back, there was also a fire in the PGH.
05:04Yes.
05:05Actually, it was in a place that was close to the PGH.
05:08That's why there are continuous rehabilitation projects
05:11including the inspection of the wiring.
05:15So it's ongoing.
05:16Actually, the area where the fire took place
05:20is still being renovated.
05:25So it doesn't look like it's normal.
05:28So we're still investigating.
05:29We're trying to find out why there was a fire there.
05:34Earlier, you said that it was in Ercon.
05:37Is Ercon also old?
05:38It's not yet.
05:39It's not yet, sir.
05:40It's not yet.
05:41We're waiting for the official report of the FD.
05:45All right.
05:46Thank you very much for your update.
05:47Amen.
05:48Take care of yourself and your patients.
05:52Thank you, Connie.
05:54That was PGH Spokesperson, Dr. Jonas Del Rosario.
06:02Tropical depression or typhoon
06:04is the first to hit the low-pressure area
06:06in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
06:09It's called the Hiner Typhoon.
06:11Last seen, 315 kilometers east-northeast
06:15of Kasiguran, Aurora
06:17and strong winds of 45 kilometers per hour.
06:22Tropical cyclone wind signal number one
06:25in the eastern and central portion of mainland Cagayan,
06:29Isabela and Quirino,
06:31eastern portion of Nueva Vizcaya,
06:34eastern and southern portion of Apayau,
06:36Bukalinga, eastern and central portion of Mountain Province,
06:40Buong Ifogao and Aurora,
06:42eastern portion of Nueva Ecija
06:44and northern portion of mainland Quezon
06:48along with the islands of Pulillo.
06:51This is just the latest news for the new list
06:54of places with wind signal
06:56that is expected to come out later.
07:00Within 24 hours,
07:01the Hiner Typhoon may landfall
07:03in Isabela or Quirino in Aurora.
07:05It will also pass through Northern Luzon.
07:08The storm may become a tropical storm
07:11before it comes out of the PAR on Wednesday.
07:15The Hiner Typhoon and the Tropical Storm
07:18with the international name of Pulasan
07:20that is outside the PAR
07:22will help strengthen the strong winds
07:24that are also blowing in some parts of the country.
07:27The storm with the international name of Pulasan
07:30was last seen 2,205 kilometers east-southern
07:34or south-eastern Luzon.
07:36It has a strong wind of up to 65 kilometers per hour.
07:39Tomorrow night or in the morning of Wednesday,
07:42the storm may also be inside the PAR
07:45with the local name of Helen.
07:48On the other hand,
07:49like the storm Ferdip,
07:51it has a low chance of landfall in the country
07:54and instead, it will hit China.
07:57It will be risky and dangerous
07:59for small sea vehicles
08:01to cross the seas around Visayas
08:04and their neighbors of Occidental Mindoro,
08:07Palawan, Romblon, Masbate, Zamboanga del Norte,
08:11Camiguin, Binagat, and Surigao del Norte.
08:14Almost the whole country, including Metro Manila,
08:17will be affected by the next few hours
08:20based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather.
08:24Heavy to intense and sometimes torrential rains
08:27are possible in some places
08:29that may cause floods or landslides.
08:32That's why the residents are being careful.
08:38Before the Tropical Depression will happen,
08:41some places in the country suffered this weekend
08:44because of the bad weather.
08:45This is the news of Bam Alegre.
08:49The flood has quickly accumulated in the Mycelo Circle in Mandaluyong
08:52because of the heavy rain since last night.
08:54Some passengers were stranded
08:56that's why rescue volunteers helped to cross
08:58using this rescue boat.
09:00Some people and vehicles were also stranded in the flood.
09:04Some also tried to pull the boat
09:06but it didn't work.
09:08We couldn't cross the flood.
09:10Usually, it's just fast.
09:12But now, we were pushed by the torrent twice.
09:16That's why we were stranded.
09:19We came from the church after the worship service.
09:22When we went out, the rain was heavy
09:24until the flood reached Bewang.
09:26Until dawn, this is the situation of the flood
09:28in a portion of the flood near San Francisco Road in Mandaluyong.
09:31There are trashes everywhere.
09:33In Makati City, there was gutter-level flood
09:36in the motorists' area of Chino Roses Avenue and Pio Campo.
09:40In Manila, the flood-prone area
09:43in the intersection of Taft Avenue and UN Avenue was quickly flooded.
09:48Because of the strong wind and heavy rain of Hurricane Ferdie
09:51and this weekend,
09:52that boat and its five passengers
09:54were stranded in the coast of Busuanga in Palawan.
09:57According to the authorities,
09:58the passengers were rescued and safe
10:01after some volunteers responded.
10:03They came from the town of Culion
10:05and asked them to go home immediately.
10:10That boat couldn't pass
10:11in Barangay Concepcion in Puerto Princesa
10:13after the water overflowed
10:15because of the continuous rain.
10:17The heavy flow of traffic continued.
10:19Some places in Barangay Sandoval were flooded
10:22in the town of Batarasa.
10:27In Negros Occidental,
10:28more than 6,000 people were evacuated

10:32because of the heavy rain and flood.
10:34Some residents were rescued
10:36from their homes in Bacolod
10:37after the flood.
10:39The residents of the barangays
10:41that are often flooded were advised
10:42to evacuate immediately
10:43and don't wait for the water level to rise.
10:47In Boracay,
10:48the Malay LGU temporarily suspended
10:50some water sports activities
10:52because of the bad weather.
10:53You can still take a bath
10:54but in low tide.
10:56While the authorities are on duty,
10:58there are trash and branches of trees
11:00in the basin that were immediately cleaned.
11:02Some parts of Barangay Balabag were flooded
11:04including the public market
11:05in Barangay Katiklan.
11:07In Pandan, Antique,
11:08a hospital was flooded
11:09after the water level rose
11:10because of the rain.
11:12According to the uploader of the video,
11:13the patients were transferred
11:14to a safe place.
11:15Some roads were not accessible
