00:00The typhoon Hulian is hitting Palayans in Ilocos Norte for almost P85 million pesos.
00:08In Batanes, many tourists are still stranded.
00:11Here is the first news of Joseph Moro.
00:17Look at how strong the super typhoon Hulian is in Batanes.
00:24The province's beauty has been replaced by images of destroyed houses and houses.
00:28The telecommunications system here is very strong.
00:33Because of the frequent earthquakes, they can't contact each other.
00:40So the National Government, the Office of Civil Defense,
00:45we strengthened our radio system here.
00:48Some residents want to leave Batanes because their livelihoods were destroyed.
00:53We don't have income yet, so we don't have power yet.
00:58But eventually, when we get our power back, we will come back here.
01:02That's why there are no commercial flights outside the province.
01:06Aside from the residents, many tourists have spent a week stranded in Basco,
01:11like Jennifer who is from America.
01:13She has canceled her trip five times.
01:16I can see that the wind is blowing.
01:19I can see that the wind is blowing.
01:22Of course, that's my first time to experience that.
01:25Signal number four.
01:27A C-130 arrived for relief goods and water
01:30brought by OCD and DSWD for the residents.
01:34Those who want to ride, especially the tourists, are our priority.
01:39If you want to ride, just go to Lawag City.
01:42About 200 stranded residents and tourists, 70 of them, were on the C-130.
01:48Some tourists who were stranded here in Basco, in Batanes,
01:52were able to ride on the government's C-130.
01:58This is not directed to Manila, but to Lawag first.
02:03They will look for a way to go home to their provinces.
02:09Some tourists who were stranded in Batanes are still waiting for a ride.
02:15According to Batanes Governor Marilu Caico,
02:17the National Government has approved the request for wood and iron
02:20for the damaged houses of the residents.
02:23He promised that we will be given iron.
02:27And the DNR will give us around 70,000 board feet of wood
02:34from Region 2.
02:39That alone can solve the problem of damaged houses,
02:44totally and partially damaged houses.
02:48Is the wood free?
02:49Yes, it's free.
02:50The damage of Hurricane Julian in Ilocos Norte is huge.
02:53The farmers are crying because of the blackened and rotten roof of their rice fields.
02:59The rice fields of other farmers that were supposed to harvest this month were also not saved.
03:04I'm already crying because of the damage.
03:09The damage to rice fields in the province is almost 85 million pesos.
03:14We're hoping that with the recent type of damages, the effect will be minimal.
03:21When it comes to the supply of electricity based on the monitoring of Ilocos Norte PDRMO,
03:27the residents of Adam are the only ones who haven't received their supplies yet.
03:32The provincial government is hoping that the 100% supply of electricity will return to the province before the weekend.
03:38This is the first news, Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.
