00:00Let's talk about the situation in Camarines Sur, where there was also a widespread flood
00:05because of Hurricane Christine. Live from Naga City,
00:08first news is from John Consulta.
00:11John?
00:14It is said that the strong winds and rains experienced here in the province of Camarines Sur were brought by Hurricane Christine.
00:22Because of the flood, the highways in Camarines Sur were flooded by the strong winds and rains.
00:29Some people were forced to ride their e-trikes and motorcycles.
00:33There were also big vehicles that hit the roads.
00:36We also passed by a place in Pili, Camarines Sur,
00:39where there were residents who were trapped inside their houses
00:43after the strong winds and rains suddenly disappeared from the road.
00:48Camarines Sur PD RRMC explained that the Bicol River was the main source of flood
00:53because Camarines Sur has a catch basin.
00:56More than 90 kilometers of almost 150 kilometers long Bicol River is in Camarines Sur
01:02and the water from Albay and the nearby province was their downpour.
01:08We are trying to find out what happened to the people who were trapped inside their houses.
01:13We are trying to get the latest data from Camarines Sur PD RRMC
01:17but they have not given us their location yet.
01:20We will try to go back to their office later
01:24to get the latest data regarding the effects of Hurricane Christine in Camarines Sur.
01:31John, the rescue operations there in Camarines Sur
01:34of course, it is difficult because the flood is not yet coming.
01:38Is there a shortage of people?
01:40There are a lot of people who need to be rescued.
01:46Yes, Igor.
01:47Even yesterday, when we were talking to their relatives,
01:50first, they had a pre-deployment of the Philippine Coast Guard
01:55and auxiliary forces from their volunteer groups and PNP.
02:00And we saw that there were a lot of people who were trapped inside their houses.
02:07And we saw that they were in a hurry to go to other towns.
02:11But last night, Igor, on the left and right,
02:14we witnessed people who needed help.
02:17The situation is really overwhelming
02:20because the highway, the place where I am standing right now,
02:24the one in front of me, is already flooded.
02:27And today, it is flooding
02:31but at the same time, Igor, it is still raining.
02:34We are hoping that there are still people who will ask for help.
02:38And we estimate that there are a lot of people who need to be rescued last night.
02:44And they cannot go there right away
02:47because the number of people who are on standby to do the rescue operations is limited, Igor.
02:53Okay, I noticed that our communication line has a problem.
02:57How is the supply of electricity and other communications in the area, John?
03:03Igor, right now, there is no electricity in the whole of Kamsur.
03:07It is brownout here and only the generator is running.
03:11Most of the establishments here have no electricity.
03:15And this is one of the things that makes the situation difficult.
03:19Especially last night, Igor, the place was very dark.
03:23We could not see anything.
03:26We could only see the source of electricity of our rescuers.
03:30And they are working hard to get the people who are in need.
03:34But we will continue to wait.
03:36We will get the latest data later, Igor.
03:38And we will try to come back to give the latest update.
03:42Thank you very much, John Consulta.
03:44Take care, John.
