00:06In Lawag City, residents fled near the damaged dike.
00:11By live report, J.P. Soriano.

00:17Tom, even though the impact of Hurricane Christine did not feel direct here in Lawag, Ilocos Norte,
00:22the residents who live in the barangays that are usually flooded immediately fled.
00:27But in other places in Luzon, the impact of Hurricane Christine was felt.
00:35The storm surge hit Binmalay, Pangasinan.
00:39Water reached Baywalk.
00:42A ship was washed ashore in Baybayan, part of Barangay Buenlag.
00:47The storm surge also hit two villages and seven towns in Pangasinan,
00:52including Lingayen, where water reached Capitol Beach Front.
00:57Trees were also fallen.
00:59Residents who were affected by the storm surge immediately fled to Narciso Sports and Civic Center Gymnasium.
01:05We fled at 3 p.m. because the flood was already beyond our reach.
01:0997 families, about 357 individuals were affected.
01:16High tides accompanied the storm in Dagupan City, which caused widespread flooding.
01:22That's why some fled.
01:24Some also fled to Lawag City, Ilocos Norte.
01:28They are the ones who lived next to the river and the dam that was destroyed by the storm that was not yet completed.
01:35The dam was destroyed.
01:37It was eroding.
01:39That's why their house is nearby.
01:42More than 100 individuals remained in the evacuation center,
01:46including some of the children who were evacuated.
01:50According to Aurora, the evacuation of the residents started last night.
01:55But the Manzano family, instead of going to the evacuation center,
01:59they will stay in the car while waiting for the flood to subside.
02:04Two barangays in Binahana were affected.
02:07One of them is isolated.
02:10They will stay in the evacuation center because there is a risk of flooding.
02:15In Divilacan, Isabela, where the typhoon Christine landed, the power supply was cut off.
02:21It's difficult.
02:23If there is no water, we will be affected.
02:31The Pinakanaunan River also started to flood.
02:34The Pinakanawan River and the Cagayan River have already collided.
02:37The low-lying barangays are very critical.
02:40That's why we are here at the evacuation center
02:43to give food packs to the evacuees.
02:47A forced evacuation was carried out in Ilagan City.
02:51Some areas are just covered with mud because of the flood.
02:55According to the CDRRMO, 22 barangays were submerged in the flood.
03:0110 of these barangays were not able to enter.
03:08Atom, here in Ilocos Norte, according to the LGU,
03:12more than 350,000 of rice and corn crops were damaged
03:19because of the few days of rain due to the typhoon.
03:22But according to the LGU, this is lower than the previous typhoons
03:27because the farmers were able to harvest their crops.
03:32Atom?
03:33Thank you very much. Take care, JP Soriano.
