00:00A typhoon hit the Philippine Area of Responsibility this morning.

00:05In the latest forecast, two people were hit by the typhoon and eight were injured.

00:10More than 300 houses were destroyed while more than 200,000 individuals were affected.

00:16Among the affected areas, almost 100 tourists are still stranded.

00:21Live on the show, Joseph Boroc.

00:24Joseph.

00:27Emil, for many residents here in Basco, Batanes,

00:31almost no one is left in their homes when the typhoon hit.

00:36Just like this house behind us here in Barangay San Antonio.

00:39Not only that, more than 200 tourists and residents were stranded here in Basco, Batanes because of the typhoon.

00:49From Himbabawit, the effects of the super typhoon Julián in Batanes can be seen.

00:57The natural beauty of the province that was recommended by the tourists

01:00was not temporarily replaced by images of destroyed houses, houses, and villages.

01:06Telecommunications here, because most of the time when the typhoon hits, they cannot contact.

01:17The National Government, the Office of Civil Defense, we strengthened the radio system here.

01:22Some residents want to leave the province because they lost their livelihood.

01:27We don't have income yet, so while we don't have power, but eventually when we have power, we will return here.

01:37But the problem is, there is no commercial flight outside Batanes, so they are stranded here.

01:42Many tourists were also affected by the beautiful vacation they experienced in the typhoon Julián.

01:47They have been stranded in Basco for more than a week.

01:50Jennifer, who is from America and is just on vacation, her trip was canceled five times.

01:56I can really see that the wind is blowing, the clouds are flying on the roof.

02:02Of course, that's my first time to experience that, signal number four.

02:07But despite their efforts, they were able to find a place for themselves among their fellow passengers.

02:13You would think that this group of people have been friends for a long time, but they just met here.

02:18Gerard is from Cagayan de Oro and is just on leave from work.

02:22I might be replaced, I am under HR.

02:25Fortunately, today, a C-130 arrived because the Office of Civil Defense and DSWD brought relief goods and water that the residents need.

02:34Those who want to ride, especially the tourists, are our priority.

02:39If you want to ride, just go to Lawag City.

02:42Of the more than 200 residents and tourists stranded, 70 were the first to board the C-130 leaving Batanes.

02:49Some tourists who were stranded here in Basco, in Batanes, because of the typhoon Julián, already boarded the C-130 of the government.

03:00This is not directed to Manila, but to Lawag first.

03:05They will look for a place to go home to their provinces.

03:10There are also tourists left in Batanes who are still waiting to ride.

03:16According to Batanes Governor Marilu Caico, the National Government has approved the request of the residents of Cagayan de Oro for the damaged houses.

03:25He promised that we will be given iron.

03:29And the DNR will give us around 70,000 board feet of wood from Region 2.

03:46That alone can solve the problem of the damaged houses, the totally and partially damaged houses.

03:57It's free.

03:59Emil, according to the Office of Civil Defense, more than 10,000 tourists left Batanes this afternoon.

04:09And on October 6, relief goods will be added to the province.

04:15Joseph, when is the next trip of the C-130 of DSWD and OCD?

04:20For the tourists and residents who want to leave Batanes, will there be a special flight for them?

04:27Tomorrow, something important will happen here in the province.

04:33So, it's not a priority to send tourists and residents home.

04:39But the locals who want to go to Manila can stay here.

04:46Maybe the next schedule is on Saturday for the residents who want to go to Manila or other parts of the country other than Batanes.

04:55Joseph, for the residents affected by the typhoon, is there any information on when they can receive the materials, iron and wood?

05:03How is the food supply and clean water?

05:10The food supply was pre-positioned by DSWD.

05:14So, when the typhoon hit, the relief goods, the food packs, were ready to distribute during the typhoon.

05:24For the water, it's a bit difficult here.

05:26That's why we sent the OCD mineral water here this morning.

05:32What's the other question, Emil?

05:36This is about the food supply and clean water.

05:46The iron and wood will take time.

05:49It will take 70,000 board feet from the DNR.

05:52It will come from either Region 2 or Cagayan.

05:56But tomorrow, there will be an announcement for the local communities.

06:03The members of ACAP will be called at 8 o'clock tomorrow.

06:07They will be given 10 kilos of rice and aid.

06:12It's ready for them tomorrow, Emil.

06:16Thank you, Joseph Morong.
