Transcript

00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years have passed, 24 hours.

00:23Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:28The Christine storm is getting stronger.

00:31It is expected to landfall in Isabela any time from now.

00:35Because of that, there are places that have been submerged in Signal No. 3.

00:40The Bicol Region, which was one of the first to experience a storm that was submerged in a terrifying flood.

00:47Three people were rescued, but it was feared that it would increase due to the number of people trapped in the flood.

00:53In different parts of the country, Salima was able to catch a glimpse of the flood.

01:04The storm came in the middle of the dark and heavy rain.

01:10That's what caught the attention of Barangay Iraya Sur in Uwas Albay last night.

01:16According to the uploader, many people were trapped in their homes due to the sudden increase of water.

01:21Update today, guys.

01:23The resident of this area is also shivering in the cold while waiting for help while in the roof of her house.

01:30Because of the large number of people in need of help, the rescuers in each operation are not able to take a break.

01:39Like in Kabangan in Ligaski City, where 22 residents were rescued.

01:44Some residents were also shocked by the strong flow of water that rose to the top of the metal railings of the roof to cross.

01:55The water was so terrifying that it was felt in Barangay Bonbon in Libon.

02:01That's why some residents also climbed to the roof.

02:04In some parts of the town, there was only a glimpse of the flood.

02:08This uploader was able to catch a glimpse of the third-floor neighbor's house.

02:13The stone bridge was also destroyed.

02:18In the town of Pio Duran, there was a heavy flood.

02:21According to the uploader, the residents were saved in the area, but some houses were destroyed.

02:27In Ginobatan, not only did the town sink in the flood, but also in Buhangin and Mga Bato, which came from Bulcang Mayon.

02:35The river also gave way to the towns of Tewi and Malinaw.

02:39The landslides in the province also happened side by side.

02:41In Ligao City, a 36-year-old man was swept away.

02:50This man was in a desperate situation. He was holding on to a coconut tree.

02:55He was not able to withstand the strong flow of water in Navua, Camarinesur.

03:00He was also saved by the rescuers who were riding a boat.

03:03In Naga City, only a flashlight that served as a guide for some residents to move to a safer place.

03:12Even though it was slippery, they tried their best to cross the iron walls to reach the third floor of one of the houses.

03:24Some children were also rescued.

03:27And a baby who was riding a boat.

03:31The Naga Metropolitan Cathedral was also not saved from the flood.

03:35In Barangay San Jose, in the town of Pili, the rescuers were almost drowning while swimming in the water to save the trapped residents.

03:45The residents were also drowning one by one on the top of the flood.

03:51Almost now, the man who was riding a boat was swept away by the strong flow of water.

03:57A raft was also used to rescue the residents in Lapurisima, in the same town.

04:02The rescuers were also not able to save the trapped residents.

04:06The rescuers were also not able to save the trapped residents.

04:10A raft was also used to rescue the residents in Lapurisima, in the same town.

04:15In the town of Bato, the white-colored flood washed away the first floor of the houses.

04:22In this drone shot, you can see how wide the flood is in the town that the sea was washed away.

04:31In the middle of the storm, Christine in Sorsogon, a woman who was about to give birth was swept away by the Philippine Red Cross.

04:39She was taken to the stretcher while crossing the stormy flood.

04:43She was also rescued and brought to the hospital.

04:46A few streets in the town of Bulan were also not accessible.

04:49These two men were put on a dog in an icebox to be rescued.

04:55In the middle of the non-stop rain, four houses were flooded by landslides in Jose Panganiban, Camarinas Norte.

05:03No one was injured because the residents were rescued early.

05:07For the GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refra.

05:10It's been 24 hours.

05:13One of the worst floods in the Bicol Region is the one in Camarinas Sur,

05:20where it rained for almost three months and the flood only lasted 24 hours.

05:26From Naga City, this is John Consulta.

05:30John, how is the situation there?

05:37Well, the flood hit Naga City very hard after the storm Christine hit their town.

05:50Floods were pouring in our neighborhood last night while the storm Christine was approaching Camarinas Sur.

05:58The water was very high.

06:00Some motorcycles and trikes were not able to move due to the flooding.

06:06There's a man in the middle!

06:08There's a man in the middle!

06:10There's a man in the middle!

06:12There's a man in the middle!

06:14There's a man in the middle!

06:16A motorcycle was not able to move.

06:18Many houses were flooded because of the sudden flooding near the road.

06:22So, everyone was dispatched to ask the GMA for help for the rescue units.

06:28You can see on this cell phone video the flooding in a subdivision in Naga City.

06:33They were asked to ask for help for the rescue units.

06:39The next day, this is what happened to the residents.

06:43The vehicles, SUVs, and cars were piled up like matchboxes.

06:49According to the residents, during the rain, there was a flash flood.

06:56The vehicles that came from that area were all brought to this area.

07:06They were piled up here.

07:08The other vehicles were already floating.

07:11So, when we went out of the subdivision, we were being pulled by the floating vehicles.

07:17These three vehicles that came from the subdivision that was hit by the flash flood were brought to the river.

07:22The Naga City LGU went to the area that was hit by the flash flood.

07:27First, the river swelled.

07:32The concrete fence was broken.

07:37Because of that, the water entered the subdivision.

07:43It turned out that around 30% of the entire territorial jurisdiction of Naga was flooded.

07:52Around 70% of our population was affected or experienced flooding for the first time.

08:03This is unprecedented.

08:05All of the houses were flooded to the point of their necks.

08:09They were covered in mud, so they were forced to go up to the second floor to be rescued.

08:14According to the Naga LGU, even though they are usually flooded when there is a flash flood,

08:17this is the first time that they experienced the heavy rainfall caused by the Christine Flash Flood

08:23that lasted for almost 24 hours without stopping.

08:26By around 2 o'clock or 1 o'clock in the morning,

08:30there was around 700 millimeters of accumulated rainfall.

08:35Meanwhile, the normal or monthly average rainfall of Naga is around 230 to 230.

08:44This is equivalent to almost 2.5 months of rainfall that was accumulated within 24 hours.

08:52Let's add that Naga is a part of the Bicol River Basin.

08:58The flood water of Albay and Rinconada flows into the city of Naga.

09:08It was a combination of flash floods at the same time.

09:13The volume of water was very abnormal.

09:17What happened in the city of Naga is very much similar to what happened in Metro Manila in Ondoy.

09:24We are used to floods up to Bewang.

09:27That's why we prepared heavy equipment for the trucks.

09:34But what happened was not good.

09:38Even our 6x6 trucks were not able to go to the rescue areas.

09:47For now, Naga needs a lot of equipment to recover.

09:52Their evacuees amounted to more than 30,000.

09:56We need additional rescue equipment.

09:59We need additional rescue boats.

10:01We need food.

10:03Most of our homes are closed because of the floods.

10:12Of course, we need housing equipment.

10:14There are a lot of houses that need to be built.

10:17In the last few hours, there is still no electricity in the city of Naga.

10:30The establishments behind me are just running their generator sets.

10:36It is difficult to buy basic needs and supplies because most of the establishments are still closed.

10:45That's the latest.

10:47On social media, there are a lot of requests for help.

10:52A lot of people were trapped in their homes because of the floods.

10:58Is there an update on that?

11:00What about the residents who were not rescued?

11:07Yes, ma'am.

11:09We have footage of the deployment.

11:12The Philippine Army came to help.

11:14The Philippine Coast Guard rescued people from different cities and municipalities in Camarinas Sur.

11:24The evacuees amounted to more than 30,000 in Naga City.

11:34That's their area.

11:36Based on our information, the number of evacuees may increase.

11:41But what's clear is that there are a lot of needs.

11:45Not only in Naga, but in the entire province of Camarinas Sur.

11:49Food, relief goods, and help to reach the people who were stranded in their homes because of the floods.

11:59Thank you very much, John Consulta.

12:03The storm surge warning was raised in several provinces in Luzon.

12:08That includes Aurora, where it was recommended to evacuate the residents who live near the sea

12:15before the storm surge.

12:17The latest on the situation there, in the live coverage of Katrina Sol.

12:21Katrina.

12:25The red alert status in the entire province of Aurora was raised.

12:30Several towns here are experiencing strong winds and heavy rains.

12:39Banana trees fell.

12:42Branches fell.

12:45And the leaves of the plants withered.

12:48This is what the residents of Barangay Borlongan in Dipakulaw, Aurora experienced.

12:5384-year-old Valentina Sampaga Valdez cried out in fear.

13:00She did not expect that they would be swept away by strong winds.

13:05I'm afraid of the wind.

13:08I'm afraid of the things flying away.

13:13I don't want to die.

13:15Hilario Padua, on the other hand, was shocked when he saw that his papaya trees were destroyed.

13:22And he can no longer rely on them.

13:24Yesterday, the wind was strong.

13:26That's why we were forced to evacuate.

13:28Because when we were forced to evacuate, the wind was strong.

13:31The wind returned early in the morning.

13:33Strong winds accompanied by heavy rains were experienced by the residents of Barangay Borlongan in Dipakulaw, Aurora

13:41from last night until early this morning.

13:44That's why the papaya trees were cut and fell.

13:50According to the residents, it lasted several hours.

13:54The wind was strong.

13:56The leaves fell.

13:59We were afraid because we were close to the sea.

14:01We were afraid.

14:03We couldn't sleep well.

14:05The strong winds stopped earlier.

14:07It was accompanied by residents to clean and mow the branches of the trees.

14:12So that we can reduce the number of branches.

14:15So that even if the wind is strong, it won't fall.

14:18Last night, the wind was strong.

14:20That's why it was there.

14:23Since yesterday, pre-empted evacuations have been carried out in several towns here

14:27along with several barangays in Dinalungan, Kasiguran, Dilasag, and Dipakulaw.

14:33They are also taking care of the storm surge.

14:36They are the front line.

14:38Based on the track of hope, they are the ones who are close to our eyes.

14:45In Valer, Aurora, the Aurora PDRRMO in Valer LGU recommended

14:51the implementation of forced evacuations in Barangay Sabang and Sitio, Castillo.

14:58Emil, here in Kasiguran, Aurora, the pre-emptive evacuation is being carried out in Shum, Barangay.

15:06As of 5 p.m. earlier, there are more than 60 families or more than 200 individuals.

15:12It is expected that while it is still dark, there will be more evacuees.

15:17Emil?

15:19Katrina, tonight, it is expected that the storm in Isabela will landfall.

15:23How is the weather there in Aurora?

15:26Emil, earlier, when we came from Valer to Kasiguran,

15:31we experienced strong winds and heavy rain.

15:35But when we entered the town of Kasiguran,

15:39the strong winds and strong rain fell.

15:43But when we arrived here in the center of the town of Kasiguran,

15:47heavy rain followed by strong winds is what we experienced in Kasiguran.

15:52Emil, earlier, you said that the pre-emptive evacuation is being carried out.

15:57But are there still residents who did not evacuate?

16:01And if so, what will be the action of the authorities?

16:08Emil, you are right.

16:10There are still residents who did not evacuate until this time.

16:14Usually, they only evacuate after dinner.

16:17That is why it is expected that after dinner,

16:21the evacuees will go to the evacuation center.

16:25And all day long, they did not experience heavy rain.

16:29That is why they are still feeling strong.

16:32But because it is night, it is expected that the effect of the storm will be felt here.

16:37It is expected that there will be more evacuees later tonight.

16:41And if not, they will carry out the forced evacuation.

16:44Emil?

16:45Thank you very much and take care, Katrina Son.

16:50President Bongbong Marcos also ordered the various offices of the government

16:55to carry out rescue operations and provide assistance to those affected by the Christine storm.

17:01The President also ordered the removal of water from the dams

17:06in order to reduce the possible flooding.

17:09Ivan Mayrinas has the floor.

17:15Because of the heavy rain, the Christine storm happened yesterday.

17:18Many places in Bicol Region were flooded, particularly in Albayat, Camarinasur.

17:23In the briefing of President Bongbong Marcos with the various offices of the government,

17:27DILG Secretary John Vicremulia said that 300 barangays in Camarinasur

17:32or half of Laluigan were flooded based on the status report of the LGU.

17:36The problem is that it is not such a strong storm but the effects are very wide.

17:44If you look closely, Bicol is far from the center of the storm.

17:50But I've seen the news reports, the water level is high.

17:55Many places were flooded.

17:57On social media, residents who wanted to be rescued also helped.

18:01According to the President, their priority is to get there

18:04as long as the government has air, sea and land assets.

18:08As soon as we can enter, we will be doing that.

18:10And we are now beginning to marshal our assets.

18:15For example, rubber boats.

18:17Until Monday, we will get it first and bring it here to the area in need.

18:23The storm also has a wide impact on power lines.

18:26Most of them use electricity to save the residents.

18:30We are focusing right now on the Bicol Region in the Naga City area, Iriga City area.

18:39And Sorsogon area.

18:42Although there were transmission lines that were affected,

18:47we are left with one big transmission line.

18:51230 kV only needs to be returned and 6 lines of 69 kV.

19:0429 ECs are in partial power interruption.

19:08And 6 ECs are in total power interruption.

19:12There are 970,814 affected consumer connections for it.

19:18The DSWD's stockpile or food packs are enough.

19:22They are already being sent to the regions affected by the storm.

19:25In areas that are hard to reach, the Armed Forces of the Philippines will use force.

19:29The Department of National Defense is already in Singapore.

19:33They can also ask for help from neighbors in ASEAN such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei

19:38to help those in need.

19:40The President is using EDCA sites for this.

19:44They are prepared to provide, number one, from the AFP, airlift,

19:48because there are roads that are not yet accessible.

19:51And number two, they are continuing,

19:53the AFP is also continuing to monitor the situation

20:00so that we will be able to activate the EDCA sites

20:05which were put there specifically for this purpose.

20:08The DTI is reminding the price freeze on the main products in the areas

20:12that are in a state of calamity, especially in Luzon.

20:15It is expected that the storm will pass through Christine

20:17where most of the reservoirs are located.

20:19The President's order is to reduce the flood.

20:21Maybe what we can do is do a measured response.

20:28Even if it is not yet high water level,

20:31let's release a little, let's lower it

20:35so that the downstream communities are not affected.

20:40Let's release water

20:43so that when the heavy rain comes,

20:46we can lower the water.

20:49At 3 p.m. earlier, the Sun Rocket Dam lost water.

20:53At 6 p.m., the Ambuklao Dam.

20:56The Binga Dam was the first to lose water.

20:59For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrena, Katutok, 24 Hours.

21:08We received an update on the movement of Hurricane Christine.

21:13We will still be joined by Amol La Rosa of GMA Integrated News Weather Center.

21:18Amol?

21:20Thank you, Ms. Mel.

21:22Because the storm is getting stronger and closer to the land of Hurricane Christine,

21:26the chances of calamity in some places in the country are higher.

21:30Signal number 3 is in Isabela, Calinga, Mountain Province, Ifugawa,

21:35Central portion of Abra, Benguete, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya,

21:39as well as in the northern and central portions of Aurora.

21:42Signal number 3 is also high in the northern portion of Nueva Ecija,

21:45Pangasinan, La Union, as well as in the central and southern portions of Ilocos Sur.

21:52Signal number 2 is high in Metro Manila, Ilocos Norte,

21:56part of Ilocos Sur, Apayau, part of Abra, as well as in Cagayan, along with Baboyan Islands.

22:03Part of Aurora and Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Cavite, as well as here in Laguna,

22:09Rizal, Aquezon, Apolillo Island, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes.

22:15Signal number 1 is also high in Batanes, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro,

22:22along with Alubang Islands, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Calamian Islands, Albay, and Susugona.

22:29Signal number 1 is also high in Masbate, along with Anticao and Bureas Islands.

22:34Signal number 1 is also high in Aklan, Capiz, Antique, along with Caluya Islands.

22:39Signal number 1 is also high in Iloilo, Guimaras, northern portion of Negros Occidental,

22:45and also in the northern portion of Negros Oriental.

22:49Signal number 1 is also high in the northern and central portions of Cebu,

22:53as well as in Bantayan and Camotes Islands, Bohol, Eastern Samar, Northern Samar,

22:58Samar, Lete, Biliran, and Southern Lete.

23:01Signal number 1 is also high in Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte,

23:06as well as Surigao and Bucas Grande.

23:10It is expected that there will be a direct effect of Hurricane Christine,

23:14so residents should be careful.

23:16The last time we saw the center of this severe tropical storm,

23:19Christine, was at a distance of 175 kilometers.

23:22It is the coast of Etiague, Isabela.

23:25It has a strong wind of 95 kilometers per hour,

23:29and a gust of 115 kilometers per hour.

23:33It moves northwards at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

23:38It is expected to hit Isabela tonight or tomorrow morning,

23:43if it can maintain its current speed or direction.

23:47It is also expected to pass through the northern Luzon,

23:52it will pass through the Ilocos region until it reaches the West Philippine Sea.

23:56It is expected that it will be outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Friday,

24:03but it still depends on the changes in its movement in the next few hours.

24:09There are signs of a storm surge in the Ilocos region,

24:13Pangasinan, Cagayan Valley, Zambales, Aurora, and some parts of Quezon.

24:18Within 24 hours, 528.5 millimeters of rain were forecast in the Daet Kamarines Norte.

24:29It was forecasted within 24 hours,

24:32so one day, but it will be more than a month of rain in October.

24:38But not only in the Daet Kamarines Norte,

24:40because earlier we were surprised that in Albay and other parts of the Bicol region,

24:45the forecasted rainfall was really high.

24:49Now, why is the rain so heavy there?

24:52It is expected that the movement of the storm will be slow before it reaches the northern Luzon.

25:00This is our satellite image yesterday,

25:02the Bicol region was really flooded with floods brought by Hurricane Christina.

25:07That is why they were the most affected by the heavy rains brought by this storm.

25:15Based on the data of Metro Weather,

25:17it is possible that the rains will repeat,

25:19the rains may increase,

25:21and it will be very windy there in Cagayan, Isabela,

25:26we are expecting that in Aurora, Apayau, and also in the Ilocos region.

25:30There are also some parts of Calabarzon, Mimaropa,

25:33and there are still some places here in the Bicol region.

25:35There is also a chance of rain here in Panay and Negros Island,

25:40and we are also expecting that here in the Samar and later provinces,

25:44that is why be careful, Kapuso.

25:47Tomorrow morning, it is still possible for it to rain,

25:50almost the entire Luzon,

25:52as you can see here, there are still different colors on the map of Luzon,

25:55our map is still almost covered,

25:58it is still heavy to torrential rains,

26:00because we can still see that there is still orange,

26:03there is also red,

26:05it is still possible that it will rain, Kapuso.

26:07We are also expecting that here in some parts of Western Visayas.

26:11It is possible that it will continue in the afternoon,

26:14but it will gradually decrease when the night comes,

26:18you can see that compared to earlier on a map,

26:21the rains have decreased a bit,

26:23except for the part of Central Luzon,

26:25so be careful.

26:27In Metro Manila, it is still possible and the chance of rain is still high,

26:30tomorrow afternoon,

26:31if this typhoon Christine continues its current track,

26:36that is why it is still necessary to monitor

26:38that rainfall warnings will be issued tomorrow.

26:41The chance of rain in Mindanao is low,

26:43except for the Zamboanga Peninsula,

26:45Northern Mindanao, Barn,

26:47and also here in some parts of Soxargen.

26:49Meanwhile, Kapuso,

26:51the Philippine Area of Responsibility has not yet issued

26:54the typhoon Christine,

26:56that if there is a new weather disturbance,

26:58it is possible that it will be formed, according to the forecast.

27:00It is outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility,

27:03but there is also a chance of a typhoon.

27:05Now, if it will enter our park,

27:08it is possible that it is only here in the northeastern boundary,

27:11or in a corner,

27:13and it will hit Japan,

27:15but it is still a bit far,

27:17and it is possible that there will be changes.

27:19And that is the latest in our time.

27:21I am Amor La Rosa,

27:23this is the GMA Integrated News Weather Center.

27:25Expect any time.

27:30Let's go to Isabela,

27:32where the signal No. 3 was raised,

27:34because of the expected landfall of the typhoon Christine.

27:36The forecast there,

27:38let's watch the live coverage

27:40of Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.

27:43Jasmine!

27:48Emil, in the last few hours,

27:50the effect of the typhoon Christine

27:52in the province of Isabela is already felt.

27:54The rain is continuously pouring,

27:56with strong winds.

28:00It's still early,

28:02but the strong winds and rain

28:04are already felt in a large part of Isabela.

28:07The river level in the province is rising fast,

28:10so the typhoon Christine is not yet hitting the land,

28:13and some rivers are not able to pass

28:15because of the flooding.

28:17This is the only river in the province of Isabela

28:20that the motorists are not able to pass,

28:22because it is expected that

28:24as the rain continues to pour,

28:26the water level in the rivers will increase.

28:27The overflow bridges in Anafunan,

28:29Gukab, Alicaucau,

28:31Cabicerra 8 and Turodbankero

28:33are also not able to pass.

28:35This family in Ilagan City

28:37brought their pets and their belongings

28:39to a safe place

28:41because their house might be destroyed

28:43by the strong winds.

28:45We're going home, ma'am,

28:47because the river is already big.

28:50Some residents of different towns in Isabela

28:52also evacuated early.

28:54As of 11 a.m.,

28:55almost four individuals have been evacuated.

28:57Because the wind is strong,

28:59and it's not safe in the house.

29:01I have a baby.

29:03It is expected that tonight,

29:05the typhoon Christine will land in Isabela.

29:07Authorities are strictly monitoring

29:09the towns in the southern and northern part

29:11because of the flood.

29:13They are downstream.

29:15The flow of water is from the south

29:18to the north.

29:20The water is flowing from the south

29:22to the north.

29:23When it reaches the northernmost portion

29:25of the river,

29:27it will backflow.

29:29That's why the five towns

29:31are the lowest.

29:33Meanwhile,

29:35residents in the coastal town

29:37of Divilakan and Palanan

29:39were also evacuated

29:41because of the storm surge.

29:47Emil Asov, 5 p.m.

29:49Monitoring of PDRR MOIS,

29:50seven motorists were not able

29:52to cross the river

29:54after the flood.

29:56This means that the river system

29:58has increased rapidly.

30:00In particular,

30:02in Cagayan River.

30:04As of now,

30:06some places in the province of Isabela

30:08have no power supply.

30:10Emil?

30:12Jasmine,

30:14what other preparations

30:16are being made in Isabela

30:18before the expected landfall

30:20of PDRR MOIS?

30:22Actually, Emil,

30:24just yesterday,

30:26the preparation of different LGUs

30:28and the provincial government

30:30here in the province of Isabela

30:32is being carried out.

30:34Number one,

30:36they will identify the places

30:38where the flood will pass.

30:40After identifying,

30:42they will place rescue vehicles,

30:44rescue equipment,

30:46and rescue personnel

30:48in case they need to respond

30:50to the flood.

30:52Number two,

30:54the implementation

30:56of pre-emptive evacuation

30:58is better

31:00in case the flood lands

31:02safely in the area.

31:04According to PDRR MOIS,

31:06there is no shortage

31:08in the preparation

31:10and giving of assistance

31:12to our people.

31:14So, for now,

31:16PDRR MOIS is just waiting

31:18for the possible effect

31:20of the flood,

31:22Emil.

31:24Amen.

31:26Thank you very much.

31:28Jasmine Gabriel Galvan

31:30of GMA Regional TV.

31:32Yesterday, some passengers

31:34were stranded

31:36while waiting for their flight

31:38to Batangas Port.

31:40Chino Gaston was there

31:42live.

31:44Chino?

31:46Well, the heavy rain

31:48and strong winds

31:50have affected the travel

31:52of all ships

31:54and more than 200 passengers

31:56are stranded.

32:01In the strong winds

32:03from the sea,

32:05the rainfall

32:07in Batangas Port

32:09is getting worse.

32:11The waves are hitting the pier

32:13and reaching the water

32:15in front of the passenger terminal

32:17and parking area.

32:18This ship is still

32:20on top of the big waves.

32:22The strong winds

32:24and the big waves

32:26are hitting Batangas Port

32:28which is dangerous

32:30for sea vehicles

32:32if there are no passengers here.

32:34But if the situation gets worse,

32:36it could also be dangerous

32:38for the passengers

32:40who are stranded

32:42inside the passenger terminal.

32:44There are already 240 passengers

32:46stranded here

32:48according to international standards

32:50that passengers are allowed

32:52inside the ferry terminal

32:54whenever there is a storm.

32:56But because there are no more

32:58stranded passengers,

33:00they are allowed to enter

33:02and stay inside the terminal.

33:04Even though they are allowed

33:06to enter,

33:08even though it is beyond

33:10the standards of the port

33:12because of the inclement weather,

33:14the top management,

33:16the GM,

33:18is not allowing them to enter.

33:20Inside the terminal,

33:22the doors are closed

33:24because of the strong winds.

33:26The windows are closing

33:28and some passengers are worried.

33:30I am really worried

33:32because I wanted to go home yesterday

33:34but we were not able to go home.

33:36It's okay,

33:38as long as we are eating here.

33:40At dusk,

33:42the passengers were transferred

33:44to the back of the terminal building

33:46and the PDRRMO was ordered

33:48to return to normal

33:50because it is possible that

33:52the ships will return

33:54to normal on Saturday or Friday.

33:57Until now,

33:59the stranded passengers

34:01are still staying

34:03inside the passenger terminal

34:05in Batangas Port.

34:07Even though they are provided

34:09with food and help

34:11by the Philippine Force Authority

34:13and all facilities

34:15and food outlets

34:16inside the terminal.

34:18Mel.

34:20Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.

34:22Four barangays in Baguio City

34:24are being guarded by the authorities

34:26because of the landslide.

34:28We will update you on the situation

34:30during the live broadcast.

34:35Emil,

34:37Baguio City and Benguet

34:39are already under the 3rd signal.

34:41Yesterday evening,

34:43the weather became gloomy

34:44and it started to rain.

34:46However,

34:48some of our fellow citizens

34:50were still able to walk

34:52here in the City of Pines.

34:55The sky is gloomy

34:57and the wind is cold.

34:59That's why earlier this afternoon

35:01in Burnham Park,

35:03some of our fellow citizens

35:05were still able to walk

35:07even though the city is under

35:09the 2nd signal.

35:11Three of our fellow citizens

35:12were still able to walk

35:14even though the hotel is already booked

35:16and the schedule of the march

35:18is already scheduled.

35:20We were able to walk

35:22because we have a lot of booked accommodations.

35:24From here,

35:26we will go to La Union and Vigan.

35:28Are you all monitored?

35:30Yes.

35:32Sandra Bayudang

35:34will continue her march

35:36after attending the reunion.

35:38We were supposed to be here

35:40until tomorrow.

35:42But the storm has not yet passed.

35:44Earlier,

35:46after our exam,

35:48the reinforcement exam,

35:50it was very stressful.

35:52According to the Baguio CDRRMO,

35:54the storm is expected to pass

35:56by 2 am

35:58and by 5 am

36:00the heaviest rain

36:02is expected to pass.

36:04Four barangays are being monitored

36:06for a possible landslide.

36:08Two lagoons are possible

36:10for water to rise

36:12so they are being monitored as well.

36:14If it is possible for landslides to occur,

36:16let it be.

36:18Just reschedule it due to health

36:20and safety reasons.

36:22Because it is expected

36:24that when the rain starts,

36:26there will be a lot of garbage,

36:28a lot of garbage will be thrown.

36:30We will go there.

36:32What we will do is to monitor this.

36:35Emil, tomorrow,

36:37the LGU is reminding

36:39the residents

36:40and the tourists

36:42to stay inside their homes

36:44or hotels

36:46if there is no important

36:48outdoor facility.

36:50That is all for now

36:52from Baguio City, Emil.

36:54Thank you very much,

54:04She was told to go home immediately, but she couldn't do it.

54:07My boat didn't sail.

54:10But if you're going to travel, go home immediately.

54:12I will go home because my family is my children. I love them.

54:19Her son, brother and nephews are now in jail in a church near their ruined home.

54:25For GMA Integrated News, Rafi Tima reporting for 24 Hours.

54:30There are children who were kidnapped during a rescue operation in Lopez, Quezon.

54:37June Veneracion was live there. June?

54:45Mel, here in Barangay Gomez, in the town of Lopez, Quezon,

54:49the rescuers did not stop the rescue of the affected residents,

54:54even though they arrived early.

54:56However, Mel was the only one who survived the brownout,

54:59which made the rescue operation even more difficult.

55:06We need to rescue them because the water level here is very high.

55:13There's my mother.

55:15In the midst of the heavy rain caused by Hurricane Christine and the rapid flood,

55:20the rescuers helped in rescuing the residents

55:23of Barangay Gomez in Lopez, Quezon from last night until this early morning.

55:28There's another one.

55:29Okay, I'll take care of it.

55:33Okay, okay.

55:35There's another one?

55:37Okay, there's another one here.

55:40In this situation, they need to be quick because it's hard to fight the dark.

55:45A lot can happen.

55:47It was said that the pre-emptive evacuation was done early,

55:51but there are still people left in their homes.

55:54The rescuers were able to breathe easily when the flood broke out

55:58and they were able to rescue the people who needed to be rescued.

56:01In case it gets worse, we will put the mud.

56:04Fortunately, we did not have any reported casualties.

56:09In the entire town of Lopez, there were 400 evacuees.

56:14I'm afraid of water because the water level is high.

56:17That's why I'm nervous.

56:20Earlier this morning, they were returning to their homes.

56:25In the aftermath of the flood, 12 barangays were submerged.

56:29But now, only 7 are affected.

56:31Our water is up to here.

56:34That's last night?

56:35Last night.

56:36Now, before the water left, it was only up to here.

56:40But even though the flood is still coming,

56:42the residents are still not safe.

56:45Maybe later, there will be water again.

56:48Hopefully, the flood will not leave our town for a long time.

56:56Mel, for now, only the lower barangays are affected by the flood.

57:00So, if it does not follow,

57:02the strong rain yesterday and probably tomorrow,

57:06there will be no flood in the affected areas.

57:09Mel.

57:10I hope so.

57:10And thank you very much, June Veneration.

57:14And that's the news for this Wednesday.

57:17Good morning.

57:18It's already the 63rd day of Christmas.

57:21I am Mel Tiangco.

57:22For a bigger mission.

57:24For a wider service to the people.

57:26I am Emil Sumangyo.

57:28From GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Philippines,

57:31we learned 24 hours.
