00:00Let's update on the effects of Hurricane Christine in Bicol Region where the province of Albay is in a state of calamity.

00:07We will talk to Gremil Alexis Naz of the Public Information Office of the Office of Civil Defense, Region 5.

00:13Good morning. Welcome to Balitang Hali.

00:16Hello sir. Good morning to everyone who is listening and watching us right now.

00:20How is the coordination and rescue of efforts of the OCD, particularly in areas that cannot enter due to high floods?

00:27Our coordination continues from the local, regional, and national level

00:33so that we can ensure that all rescue requests are met.

00:39We also requested augmentation at the national level

00:43because the number of calls we received since yesterday is overwhelming

00:49so that we can help all affected areas.

00:52Was it not foreseen that the effects of the floods will be this severe in Bicol?

00:58Actually sir, all of us conducted localized pre-disaster assessment meetings

01:04but based on our experience yesterday,

01:08the movement of Hurricane Christine was so slow

01:15that it was saved in Albay, Marina Sur area.

01:18That is where the concentration of floods is.

01:21Are there areas that cannot be entered until now?

01:25There are reports that there are still hundreds of people who were rescued.

01:32This is coordinated, especially with our uniformed personnel, specifically the search and rescue cluster

01:39so that we can help the LGUs who are overwhelmed with the response efforts.

01:44Sir, there are residents who were trapped in their homes.

01:47Did the pre-emptive evacuation not take place and did it cause trouble?

01:52The forced evacuation of our various LGUs also took place, sir.

01:59It was sudden.

02:01In our coordination, the LGUs have already experienced heavy rains for a long time.

02:07Are there any casualties now due to the rains?

02:12As of now, sir, we have three fishermen who were lost in San Fernando,

02:18and there are also reports from secondary sources that there are casualties.

02:23But we are waiting for the official reports from the ground

02:26before we send it to our official reports.

02:30If the fishermen were lost, did they spread out before the floods or after?

02:34Do you have a monitoring like this?

02:37That is also, sir, what we are coordinating with MDRIM in San Fernando.

02:41You will know better if they are the ones who spread out for a long time before there was a CCWS

02:51and at least about the strengthening of the LPA.

02:55As of now, how is the supply of food, water and electricity?

02:58What will be the communication line in the whole Bicol region?

03:02In the food and non-food items, we have the DSWP on our side.

03:07Their goods are already prepositioned.

03:10The LGUs do not need augmentation.

03:13And for the status of communications,

03:15we only have one LGU that gave a report that there is a problem in telecommunications,

03:22but it was fixed immediately.

03:26And how did you prepare the FIVOX report that the lahar flow is possible due to strong rains?

03:34We coordinated with various LGUs in Albay together with the Albay CDRRMO

03:39for their operational plan for any lahar flow that is caused by weather disturbance.

03:45And it was fixed immediately.

03:47And if ever the lahar flow gets worse, they also have contingencies or contingency plans.

03:55Do you have anything to say to the Bicol residents about the ongoing floods in the area?

04:00This is your chance.

04:02To everyone, please inform our local government emergency operation centers

04:09if there are residents in need.

04:12We are working together with our local DRM officers to help you

04:18and to ensure that everything is safe.

04:21Okay. Thank you very much for the time you shared in Balitang Hali.

04:25Thank you very much as well.
