00:00The level of water in Magat Dam is being monitored because of the heavy rain caused by Hurricane Hiner in Cagayan Valley.

00:07Residents are being prepared for the towns that will go through the river due to the possible flood.

00:13Benjie Durango in Detail Live. Benjie?

00:17Audrey, I'm here at Naguilian Bridge.

00:20That's the bridge that you can see behind me.

00:22It's part of Naguilian or the town of Naguilian here in Mayisabela.

00:27It's only a few kilometers away from the town of Mayisabela where Hurricane Hiner passed earlier this morning.

00:34I'll just show you the situation here in our location for now, Audrey.

00:42It's still dark and rainy here, signal number one.

00:47Under that tree is the Cagayan River that is being monitored by the authorities.

00:53Due to the impact of Hurricane Hiner here in Cagayan Valley,

00:56there is no access to schools in Cagayan, Mayisabela, Nuevo Vizcaya, and Querino.

01:02Aside from the heavy rain and wind,

01:05Magat Dam is being monitored now even though its water level is only at 186.72.

01:12It's lower than the normal high of 190 meters above sea level.

01:16Two gates of the dam are open at the moment.

01:19It produces 858.72 cubic meters per second

01:24which is the amount of water that falls into the Cagayan River.

01:28Audrey, how much is this 858.72 CMS?

01:33It can fill two large swimming pools in just 1.2 seconds.

01:39It's not felt in Cagayan River yet but

01:43when heavy rain falls on the mountains of Sierra Madre and Cordillera,

01:49the amount of water produced will increase.

01:52The problem is that some places in Cagayan River may be affected.

01:57Some barangays in Lungsodang Kawayan and Ilagan,

02:02in the town of Rojas, Alicia, Gamu, and Angadanan.

02:08But NIA Maris clarified that Magat Dam is still within the safe limit

02:13but the alert level is high in Cagayan River

02:16and in its tributaries.

02:18It is expected to gradually increase in the next few hours

02:22and authorities should be prepared to issue a warning.

02:29Audrey, that's the update from Naguilian.

02:32Isabella, back to you, Audrey.

02:34Okay, take care. Benji Durango, thank you very much.
