00:00And because of the continuous rainfall followed by Hurricane Christine, the land in Libon Albay softened.
00:06Up to 70 people were affected, while one person was left behind.
00:11Witness, John Consulta.
00:21Some residents were left without work while they were working on the construction of land in Barangay Borabod in Libon Albay.
00:28Because of the continuous rainfall followed by Hurricane Christine, the land in Libon Albay softened.
00:34According to Lisbon MDRRMO, one resident was left behind.
00:39Up to 70 people were affected, while one person was left behind in the evacuation center.
00:44Retrieval and clearing of authorities will be carried out if the situation gets better.
00:50A major national road was also built that connects to the town of Peodoran towards Ligao City in the aftermath of Hurricane Christine.
00:57Because of this, Peodoran is still isolated, especially since there is no other way to go there.
01:03Clearing operations are already underway by the authorities.
01:09In Baau, Camarines Sur, the police have already blocked the roads that pass through the national road.
01:15Because of the heavy rainfall, no vehicles can pass through.
01:20There were attempts to enter, but like that truck, it was not able to do anything.
01:26It crashed in the middle.
01:28This is the reason why no one was able to enter or exit the area of Albay
01:33because this is the road that connects Camarines Sur and Albay.
01:39Because of this, a long line of cargo trucks was stranded in the area.
01:44Residents are now riding boats just to buy food and water.
01:52Others are staying at home to take a bath after entering the water.
01:59The water level in Naga City is from Hita to Bewag.
02:02That is why vehicles are having a hard time passing through.
02:05Some of them were forced to drive away.
02:09Even though the roads in Milaor are next to Naga, there is already a flood.
02:14The water is still not receding, that is why the houses and vehicles are also submerged in the water.
02:22It is like a river because of the flood.
02:24The Makarlika Highway is surrounded by San Fernando, Camarines Sur.
02:27Some of the houses there are almost submerged in the water.
02:32In Milaor and...
02:34It is very deep.
02:35It is very deep.
02:36It is very deep.
02:38Many people are drowning in the water because the vehicles were not able to pass through the deep water.
02:44The Philippine Coast Guard also helped to cross the stranded.
02:48But in the middle of the calamity, the Philippine people are still helping each other
02:54just like some of them are feeding the stranded.
02:58In the last episode of the Office of Civil Defense,
03:02less than ten people were killed, two were injured,
03:05and seven were lost in the flood.
03:09It is still possible for the flood to increase
03:11because the rescue and relief operations were not able to enter some areas in the Bicol Region
03:17that were flooded by the flood.
03:19Their challenge there is still the flooding which is really high.
03:24For GMA Integrated News,
03:26I am John Consulta.
03:28Signing off.
