00:00Oh my God!
00:07The residents are just so confused while they are watching the landslide in their houses in Zone 3, Barangay Borabod in Libon, Alvaiv.
00:21Less than 10 houses were damaged.
00:24No one was seriously injured.
00:30In Libon, another house was found by the Coast Guard Bicol that was involved in rescue operations.
00:45Classes were suspended for all classes in the entire Luzon tomorrow.
00:50There will be no entrance to government offices in the entire Luzon tomorrow because of the rainfall caused by Hurricane Christine.
00:57It was announced by the Office of the Executive Vice or the Executive Secretary.
01:05Before the landslide happened this evening until tomorrow morning in Isabela,
01:10more than a million individuals were affected by Hurricane Christine in different regions of the country.
01:15Three people were injured.
01:17For now, Aurora experienced strong winds and rain.
01:21Katrina Zon has a live report.
01:23Katrina?
01:28Atom, at this time, we are experiencing strong winds and heavy rain.
01:38Northern and Central portions of Aurora are under Signal No. 3
01:43while Signal No. 2 is in the middle.
01:48At the same time of the heavy rainfall,
01:53the water level in the river in Isabela rose rapidly.
01:58I can't take it anymore, ma'am, because the road will sink.
02:03Some residents of Ilagan City brought their pets and belongings to a safer place.
02:09Almost 400 individuals evacuated from different towns in Isabela.
02:15The wind is very strong. I have a baby.
02:17It is expected that this evening, Hurricane Christine will landfall in Isabela.
02:22Residents in the coastal town of Divilacan and Palanan were also evacuated because of the storm surge.
02:30In Dipakulaw, Aurora.
02:31I'm afraid of the wind. I don't want to die.
02:35Strong winds accompanied by rain
02:39experienced by the residents of Borlongan in Dipakulaw, Aurora
02:43from last night until this morning.
02:46That's why the trees here in Papaya were cut and fell.
02:51Since yesterday, PMTV evacuated several barangays in Dinalunga,
02:57Kasiguran, Dilasag and Dipakulaw
03:00as a precaution against floods and storm surge.
03:03They are the front line. Based on the track of hope, they are the ones who are closest to us.
03:13The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office in Pangasinan
03:17has also alerted several river systems in the area of Umapau.
03:20President Marcos ordered the government agencies to focus on the residents who are being rescued
03:26and in areas that are difficult to reach.
03:28Number one, from the AFP, airlift, because there are roads that are not yet accessible.
03:33As for the dams,
03:34We will lower it so that the downstream communities are not affected.
03:40So that when heavy rains come, we can lower the water.
03:47Earlier this afternoon, the water in San Roque, Magat, Ambuklao and Binga Dam disappeared.
03:59Atom, 12 barangays here in Kasiguran, Aurora were submerged in a pre-emptive evacuation.
04:06As of 8 p.m. earlier, Atom, there are 116 families or more than 300 individuals.
04:13As for the outside evacuations or those who will sleep or stay with their friends or relatives,
04:20there are 87 families or 270 individuals. Atom?
04:26Thank you very much, Katrina Son.
04:29The Bicol Region was flooded by Hurricane Christine,
04:31where there was record-breaking rainfall.
04:34John Consulta has a live report. John?
04:41Atom, the weather is fine here in Naga City,
04:44but Hurricane Christine left a strong impact.
04:49He backed up to the tree, so that the flood would not affect the Navua-Cabarita Zoo.
04:55He was rescued immediately.
04:59In the town of Pili, Todokapit, in Salbabida,
05:02a resident was rescued so that he would not drown in the flood.
05:05He was quickly rescued by a rescuer.
05:10Residents also were rescued from the flood.
05:13Residents also were rescued from the flood.
05:17In Naga City, the flood reached the second floor,
05:21so some residents crossed the flooded roof to go up to the third floor of their neighbor's house.
05:28Along with the rescuers, a child was also rescued.
05:33The flood also quickly reached a subdivision.
05:36The next day, dozens of cars were hit by a flash flood.
05:41Others were swept away by the river.
05:43The river swelled and the fence was broken.
05:51Around 30% of the entire territorial jurisdiction of Naga was flooded.
05:59And around 70% of our population was affected or was affected by the flood.
06:09For the first time, this is unprecedented.
06:12In the town of Bato, the flood reached the sea level.
06:16Residents used boats because the houses were submerged.
06:21In Libon Albay, the flood also quickly reached the roof.
06:27It reached the second floor of their house.
06:30In Biak na Bato Bridge, in the town of Pio Duran, the flood reached the roof.
06:37While the flood was raging in the town of Oasca Gabi,
06:40someone heard shouting,
06:43Help!
06:46When the flood reached the roof of the house,
06:49cars were swept away.
06:53In Pulanggi, the flood almost reached the roof of the house.
07:00The flood also reached Legazpi City,
07:02so 22 barangay residents were rescued.
07:06The house was also submerged in sand and water from the Mayon Volcano.
07:10A man was also swept away by the landslide in Ligao City, Albay.
07:14And four houses in Jose Pangaliban, Camarines Norte.
07:18The Bicol Region experienced a severe flood
07:21because according to the forecast,
07:22300 to 500 millimeters of rainfall was expected
07:26from last night until this morning.
07:30The Bicol Region experienced a severe flood.
07:34The flood was slow.
07:36For over the past 24 hours, the flow was slow.
07:39So it means that almost everything was swept away.
07:50Atom was confirmed by Naga City LGU that they received a report
07:53of casualties and casualties in the Christine Flood.
07:58But according to them, they still need validation
08:01and the PNP still needs confirmation regarding this.
08:04Atom, back to you.
08:06Thank you very much, John Consulta.
08:14In case of a flood or calamity,
08:16it is better to make sure that the drinking water is clean
08:19to avoid getting sick.
08:20Boil the water for two minutes,
08:23cover it while letting it cool,
08:25and transfer it to the right container
08:27so that it won't be contaminated.
08:29You can also use chlorine tablets
08:31that you can get for free from LGUs and health centers.
08:37During her visit to the Senate hearing,
08:39Pastor Apollo Quibuloy faced charges
08:42of abusing former members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
08:46Here is what Quibuloy said in Ian Cruz's report.
08:52After turning off the light, he embraced me.
08:54He embraced me and left me in shock and speechless.
08:57He then said,
08:58this is the fulfillment of God's revelation.
09:01You cannot say, I don't want,
09:03because if you say, I don't want,
09:05he said, you will go to hell,
09:07like things like that.
09:09Former members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
09:12were accused of abusing
09:15the hands of Pastor Apollo Quibuloy,
09:17a Ukrainian named Yulia Voronina,
09:20a former member of the pastoral ministry.
09:23Nobody can deny that there is a pastoral ministry,
09:26even Mr. Quibuloy himself.
09:29And everybody knows that only girls
09:32and young and beautiful women
09:35are included there.
09:38He had the key of each room
09:41and just in the middle of the night
09:43he come to my room and have sex with me.
09:47There is no truth to what they said.
09:51If they have criminal charges against me,
09:56they are free to file a case
09:59and that is what I will face.
10:01One of the original members of KOJC
10:04is Teresita Valdehueza,
10:06who not only experienced sexual abuse,
10:09she also sought money
10:11to cover the expenses of KOJC
10:14and Quibuloy's luxurious life
10:16and other officials of the group.
10:18KOJC workers have a quota
10:21and sometimes they can earn 10 to 15 million pesos.
10:25We recruited and trafficked our young people
10:28from Mindanao and Visayas
10:29to Carrol in the provinces of Luzon
10:31and in the National Capital Region cities.
10:34There are many students
10:36who need to be absent from school in November
10:39and others are not able to go back to school
10:42because the church prioritized them.
10:45KOJC has no such policy.
10:48No, there is no truth to that.
10:51He was also raped and not fed for a few days
10:54because of the false accusations.
10:57The PNP is investigating
10:59that 200 women were raped by Quibuloy.
11:03He also has a private army
11:05which is called the Angels of Death.
11:07Apollo Quibuloy handpicked trusted members
11:10with background in military and security training
11:12to compose the Angels of Death.
11:14According to one of his former members,
11:16they kill each other
11:18to show their loyalty to Quibuloy.
11:21The Angels of Death is composed of his agents.
11:24They kill their families
11:26when they go out, when they have a lot of information.
11:28Quibuloy did not deny the allegations.
11:31The former members who were against him
11:34are now free.
11:35He will also face and answer the accusations in court.
11:38This one is like trial by publicity.
11:41We don't have a resource person.
11:43No one came from us.
11:45Everyone came from the other side.
11:46Aside from the cases in the Philippines,
11:48Quibuloy also faced several cases
11:50related to sex trafficking in America.
11:53Ian Cruz reports for GMA Integrated News.
11:58One of the victims of Lopez-Quezon
12:01died in the middle of a rapid flood.
12:06Okay, I'll take care of it.
12:09Okay, okay.
12:10Do you have a bag?
12:11Oh, okay.
12:12I have another bag here.
12:14The house.
12:15The brownout followed,
12:17making the rescue operation difficult.
12:19According to the LGU,
12:20400 evacuees arrived in the entire town.
