00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:05It's been a short time, but it's expected to come back tomorrow.

00:10In the Philippine area of responsibility, the super typhoon Julian.

00:14That's why the citizens are still preparing for the most severe typhoon.

00:18That's why many houses are destroyed.

00:20The province is already in a state of calamity.

00:22And it's hard to supply electricity, water, and communication.

00:26That's why they're appealing for help.

00:28This is Joseph Moro.

00:34There's no forgiveness for the typhoon Julian in Batanes.

00:36It's felt in the videos captured yesterday.

00:38The gust of wind in Basco, Batanes.

00:44It's like a piece of paper that was torn by the storm.

00:51Because of the strong rain, there's almost no one around.

00:54The PDRNO office was also hit by the wind and rain.

01:07And even though the houses were saved from the typhoon,

01:10it didn't save the modern houses made of wood and iron.

01:18There are more houses like that in Basco.

01:20That's why there's almost no one left.

01:22Some residents were also injured.

01:24Some animals were also killed.

01:26Some tricycles and monorcycles collided.

01:28And many trees fell.

01:31The old tree of Vaditi that was saved from many typhoons,

01:34was completely destroyed by the typhoon Julian.

01:38The typhoon also destroyed the roof of the Church of the Municipality of Uyugan.

01:42That's why there's no strong protection against the continuous rain

01:45even though there was no typhoon.

01:47The typhoon left more than 2,000 houses there

01:50with limited electricity, water, and communication lines.

01:55This is the first time we had 2,543 evacuees.

02:04Before, we only had 10 or 20 evacuees.

02:10That's why Governor Marilu Caico was emotional during an interview with DCBB.

02:15It's sad because the typhoon lasted too long.

02:19Many houses were destroyed.

02:23And because of the heavy rain,

02:26we were not able to build our flats in Batanes for the first time.

02:32I was very emotional because I saw

02:36how quickly the typhoon destroyed the houses in Batanes.

02:45Many houses are now made of iron and wood

02:47because they are no longer allowed to get aggregates from the rocks.

02:51Batanes was declared a protected area.

02:54I called the DNR and the President

02:58to issue a moratorium

03:03and allow us to get home-use aggregates from the wood.

03:09Even if the typhoon cut the wood,

03:14we will still use it because our countrymen are poor.

03:20The airport is working again,

03:22so Batanes is asking for help from the national government.

03:25I'm asking for bottled water.

03:31I'm afraid that if there's no water,

03:33we might have a diarrhea outbreak here.

03:38The province of Batanes has declared a state of calamity.

03:41But according to Governor Calco,

03:43they have not yet complained.

03:46The forecast is that the typhoon will come back

03:49before it exits.

03:51How are you doing there?

03:53Of course, we're preparing.

03:55I told them not to delay anything

03:59and to prepare because we don't know

04:03if the typhoon will come back.

04:06According to the DSWD,

04:08they have prepositioned food packs

04:10to the towns of Ibana, Uyugan, Itbayat, and Sabtang in Batanes.

04:14It's time for the weather to improve

04:16and they will deliver it to those in need.

04:19The GMA Kapuso Foundation will also go to Batanes

04:22to help those affected by the typhoon.

04:26For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,

04:28for Tutok 24 Horas.

04:35.
