00:00In Northern Luzon, the Cordillera Region is now ready for the expected earthquake to hit the Philippines.

00:07According to the authorities, landslides and heavy rains could occur in more than 800 barangays.

00:16Judel Tomelden of PTV Cordillera in Central Manila.

00:21The Cordillera-RDRRMC Operations Center has already issued a red alert to monitor the effects of Hurricane Christine.

00:31The region is also under the Charlie Protocol, which is the highest level of emergency preparedness of the Office of Civil Defense for the earthquake.

00:39The Department of Social Welfare and Development has prepared more than 63,000 family food packs and more than 25,000 non-food items for those affected by the earthquake in Cordillera.

00:51There are also nearly 3 million Pesos in standby funds for additional assistance to the victims.

00:57Currently, there are prepositioned family food packs in each province for quick assistance.

01:04As of 6 a.m. today, no family has been reported missing in Cordillera.

01:09But residents who live in the affected areas have been instructed to evacuate before the earthquake hits the area.

01:17We will continue to monitor and take the directives and advisories of those affected seriously.

01:30According to the latest data from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau,

01:33more than 800 barangays in Cordillera are expected to have landslides and flooding if up to 150 mm of rainfall is experienced.

01:43The most are in the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, Apayao, and Calinga.

01:48In Baguio City, the local government is monitoring the City Camp Lagoon, which is limited to flooding whenever it rains heavily.

01:56Drainage canals have also been inspected.

01:59Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong reminded residents not to take out their garbage so that there will be no clogging in the canals.

02:08There is a big improvement in our waste management.

02:12Previously, we expected that whenever it rains heavily, our City Camp Lagoon will be filled with debris and garbage.

02:21But right now, it's only up to one-fifth or one-eighth.

02:25Meanwhile, the Botanical Garden, Mines View Park, and Dominican Heritage and Nature Park were closed in Baguio City for the safety of the public.

02:34Atok LGU also suspended tourism activities until October 26 due to the typhoon or until the Christine typhoon is released.

02:43In Togon and Bukod, Benguet, LGU suspended mining activities of small-scale miners

02:50to avoid unexpected events due to the typhoon.

02:54In the situation of dams in Benguet, the Buklau Dam is still at a normal water level while a gate of the Binga Dam has lost water.

03:04BINECO has also issued a red alert for the typhoon.

03:07According to Tanggapan, their linemen are ready, even their various equipment, to respond quickly to the effects of the Christine typhoon.

03:16BINECO was instructed to expect to experience a power interruption in case of a typhoon.

03:22There is also a protocol that we are following.

03:25Of course, when it comes to the spread of damages, our linemen will go first

03:32to fix our primary lines, or our backbone lines, and then the laterals will follow.
