00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. conducted an inspection

00:04in the Pinsalan left by Hurricane Julian in the province of Ilocos Norte.

00:08Including the destruction of flood control infrastructure

00:13and how it will be resolved.

00:16The government agencies are sure to continue their response to the situation in the province.

00:23We have with us Kenneth Pachentel live.

00:27Kenneth.

00:31Yes Maan, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. personally visited Ilocos Norte

00:37which is also one of the places here in Northern Luzon that was hit by Hurricane Julian.

00:44From Batanes, President R. Marcos Jr. immediately went to Ilocos to find out the situation

00:49following Hurricane Julian.

00:51President R. Marcos Jr. inspected Gabuday in Barangay Gabunorte in Lawag City.

00:56It collapsed because of the heavy flow of water caused by the rain caused by the storm.

01:01The reason is to give more than 200 meters of area of 400 meters of dike.

01:07That's why President DPWH immediately decided to fix it.

01:12Instead of stock protection, we will put a dam.

01:16What happened here is the water from inside

01:21pushed the dike outside.

01:26That's why it collapsed.

01:28We will change the design.

01:30We will make a road with stock protection.

01:37So that even if a big flood comes, the stock protection of the dike will not be pushed.

01:43In the situation briefing, the President was asked why the flood control infrastructure collapsed

01:48like Gabuday, which has been there for a long time, just happened now.

01:53This is still my time.

01:55The other stock protections here are strong.

01:59When it changes, it doesn't break.

02:02That's why it's broken now.

02:04The riverbed is silted, so there is a tendency for the water to overflow.

02:09That's also what the President noticed when he did an aerial inspection earlier in some places in Ilocos.

02:15It's something that he should immediately address to avoid environmental issues.

02:20I was surprised when we were flying.

02:23The siltation here is too much.

02:26We have to do something.

02:28But we'll figure something out.

02:31I'll talk to whoever we can.

02:33We can talk to who can help us.

02:35Because I don't remember the rivers being that shallow before.

02:40I've never seen them this shallow.

02:44In all the time that I spent here in Ilocos.

02:49And they've been silted for a long time.

02:51There are trees already.

02:53So it really didn't dredge.

02:58I think that's the main problem that we're facing.

03:02It's the siltation.

03:04And that's what's causing all of this damage that we're seeing.

03:10That's the root.

03:12I think that's the root problem.

03:13That's the one that we have to attend to.

03:31I'll look for people who can help us.

03:35I will talk to some of the big companies who specialize in doing this.

03:42Maybe we'll have to import equipment from China, from Taiwan, wherever.

03:51San Miguel has a new machine. It's huge.

03:56Maybe it will fit us.

03:58Maybe we can put it here.

04:01And then I think your idea, government, of chopping up the areas.

04:08So that everyone, we can assign already somebody for each area.

04:13Almost at the same time.

04:15It will be almost at the same time.

04:19That's the thing that we have to do now.

04:21The President also directed the distribution of cash assistance for the beneficiaries of the DSWD,

04:28of which hundreds received P3,000.

04:31He also announced that starting Monday,

04:34the DSWD will distribute P10,000 of cash assistance

04:38to qualified individuals affected by the typhoon.

04:41Various government agencies like the DA, DSWD, DILG, and others

04:47continued their assistance in the situation in Ilocos Norte,

04:51especially in the need of affected residents.

04:58Earlier, President Marcos Jr. also received financial assistance from the government of Ilocos Norte.

05:05He received a check worth P100 million from Governor Matthew Manoto

05:11that the province can use for their rehabilitation efforts.

05:15Here is the latest. Back to you, Maan.

05:18Thank you very much, Kenneth Paciente.
