00:34The rain in Cavitex was also heavy. It passed 8 o'clock this evening.
00:39One of the vehicles in Esnex Magallanes Northbound slowed down due to the gutter-deep flood.
00:45Only one lane was able to pass.
00:48The Red Rainfall Warning was announced at 8 o'clock this evening in Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Metro Manila, Rizal, and some parts of Quezon Province.
00:58This means that the flood prone areas will experience severe flooding.
01:04The Office of the Executive Secretary also announced that all high schools throughout Luzon will be closed tomorrow, October 25.
01:14The government in Luzon also did not receive any response, except for those who were informed about the response to the vehicle.
01:25Cavite is now in a state of calamity due to the heavy rainfall of Hurricane Christine.
01:30And it seems that some parts of Batangas were also flooded, including a hospital.
01:36Let's take a look.
01:37Malawater Falls
01:40The Malawater Falls is a waterfall in Naveleta, Cavite.
01:42It is located next to a garbage dump.
01:44It was caused by the flooding of several rivers.
01:48The flood quickly reached Abot Bayuang and Abot Ditdibambaha.
01:53It is located next to Barangay San Antonio 2, along with San Caterbang Basura.
01:57Fortunately, last night, most of the residents were able to evacuate.
02:03The houses inside the house were not damaged.
02:05The house was not submerged, but the water entered the house.
02:08Residents also evacuated to the seaside and to the waterways in Ternate.
02:13There were 500 families who evacuated last night, according to Cavite PDRMO.
02:17Many more are expected to be evacuated.
02:19The heavy rain and flood of Hurricane Christine hit motorists and commuters.
02:24The traffic was heavy due to the different highways in the province.
02:27In Tindi ng Baha and Ragasan ng Tubig,
02:30the town of Calatagan, Batangas, was unable to enter earlier.
02:34It is a coastal town.
02:36Many were trapped in the flood.
02:37People are asking for help, like in Barangay Luxuhin.
02:40Some stranded were rescued using a loader truck.
02:44According to MDRRMO, many residents in other areas are being called for rescue.
02:50The flood also reached Bayuang, along with San Pascual Diversion Road.
02:56As Lemery was about to enter,
02:58the AUV got stuck because it was unable to enter the water.
03:02It was forced to be pulled by residents across the flood.
03:06The heavy rain and flood continues,
03:08so there is a danger of a flash flood.
03:09The reason why the ten-wheeler trucks are not moving at all.
03:15On the other hand, there is heavy rain in Lemery.
03:18In Barangay Palanas, there is a lot of heavy rain.
03:21Residents are asking for help.
03:24The road was flooded and the roads were flooded.
03:27Rescue vehicles were also stopped.
03:31Batangas Provincial Hospital was also flooded.
03:35At around 1 p.m., emergency rooms and wards were flooded.
03:39Staff and patients were unable to go out to buy food.
03:43They were first taken to the second floor.
03:46New patients were not first admitted to the hospital.
03:54Last night, strong winds and thunderstorms started,
03:59so when the morning came, some houses were destroyed by the sea.
04:05Vehicles were also unable to enter their roads in the town of Lian.
04:11The flood was severe in the town of Rosario and it was drowned out,
04:15according to some residents.
04:18It was difficult for motorists to enter the province.
04:22In the start hallway in Malbar, the rain was heavy,
04:26so the highway was difficult to pass.
04:28On the other hand, small vehicles were unable to pass because of the flood.
04:32Around 2 p.m., four major roads of the province were unable to pass,
04:37as well as four bridges.
04:39From Bawan to Batangas Fort, the road network was only passing.
04:43Before the afternoon, the last situational report of Batangas PDRMO
04:47that almost 500 families were able to be added to the 34 evacuation centers.
04:53For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your eyewitness.
04:59Before the eyewitness, the second alarm was raised in Marikina River.
05:02In the monitoring of Marikina MDRRMO, the water level reached 16 meters
05:08in the river earlier last night at 9 p.m.
05:11The first alarm was raised at 7 p.m. when the water level reached 15 meters.
05:16And even before the water level reached 15 meters in the river,
05:20the authorities conducted a pre-emptive evacuation.
05:2445 evacuation centers were also opened in Marikina for all those who want to evacuate.
05:32Different parts of Quezon City and Manila experienced heavy flooding
05:36because of Hurricane Christine.
05:38In MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela, there were motorists who were driving backwards.
05:42Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
05:47In MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela,
05:51some motorists were driving backwards because they were afraid that their vehicles would be washed away
05:55because of the deep flood.
05:57Others did not try and just parked beside the road.
06:01In Malabon, the flood was deep to the point where it reached the tip of the mouth.
06:05So some of them had no choice but to drown even though they were not wearing boots.
06:09In Quezon City, Rojas District, there was a heavy rain.
06:16Some residents of Gumamela and Walling Walling Street had to evacuate.
06:20But the man who lived behind the river chose to stay in their house.
06:25What was the highest level that you reached?
06:27This one here.
06:29Now, at night, this is the highest level.
06:32It's really fast at night.
06:34It's not like what we experienced before.
06:38Don Pepe Street in Barangay Santo Domingo was also flooded.
06:42On the road, there were many people.
06:45Inside our house, it was really deep.
06:47Because this is where all the water fell.
06:49The flood was visible inside their house.
06:52After the flood, it was white and very dirty.
06:55The residents who woke up were also very dirty.
06:58So they decided to clean their house
07:02so that the flood would be reduced on the road.
07:08In Ista Puting Bato in Manila,
07:10many people are still not evacuating even though the rain is heavy.
07:13Ray told us that he has been living here for 4 decades.
07:16Last night, the water from the river reached the sides of the houses.
07:21The garbage from the river reached the roads.
07:24The level of the river dropped.
07:27But earlier, the water was rising again because of the continuous rain.
07:31But Ray's family did not evacuate even though they are very close to the river.
07:36It is difficult for us to relocate.
07:38Especially if there are sick people.
07:40And it is difficult for the children.
07:42But if it is okay, we will just stay here.
07:45But if it is really close, then we will move.
07:51Erich has three children, so he decided to stay at home.
07:55If we evacuate, we will have a hard time because we have a baby with us.
08:00We always monitor this area because this is a very dangerous area.
08:05At the Manila North Port Terminal,
08:07200 passengers are straddled while sleeping in the car.
08:11They were given free food by the Philippine Force Authority and the ship's company.
08:16We cannot go home because it is far.
08:18We cannot do anything because we have a lot of luggage.
08:22According to the PPA and the Philippine Coast Guard,
08:25more than 7,000 passengers are straddled in 14 provinces in the country,
08:30such as Batangas, Bicol, Masbate, Gimaras, Leyte, Negros Oriental and Occidental,
08:37Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga del Norte.
08:40We request that the passengers monitor the situation and not proceed to the terminals
08:46considering that there are no trips.
08:48For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman is your witness.
08:56The search operations for a missing fisherman were stopped
09:00after a strong wave hit their boat in Bulacan.
09:04It is said that it is still dangerous due to the bad weather.
09:07And from Bulacan, the witness is Von Aquino.
09:12Von?
09:16PIA, one of the 10 fishermen was not found after their boat sank
09:23in the sea off the coast of Bulacan.
09:29This is the scene of the boat that sank in the sea off the coast of Bulacan.
09:33According to the LDRRMO,
09:35the fishermen in Barangay Binuangan were returned by a strong wind and wave.
09:42The LDRRMO immediately conducted a search and rescue operation
09:46by the Philippine Coast Guard and LGU.
09:48Only one of the fishermen was rescued.
09:52They were attached to their styrofoam.
09:57It is used to store fish.
10:02They were attached to it.
10:04The other one was missing.
10:08They were trying to reach it with a floating device
10:12but they refused to grab the floating device.
10:15The wave was so strong that they were separated.
10:21Tomorrow, they will continue their search for the missing fishermen
10:25when the weather improves.
10:26After a medical check-up, the fishermen were able to return home.
10:31This afternoon, the wind was strong.
10:34It was experienced in Obando, Bulacan
10:36when a gutter-deep flood hit Flamenco Street, Panghulu.
10:40San Miguel Barangay in Calumpit, Bulacan,
10:43which is located next to the Pampanga River, was affected.
10:45The house of the family was damaged by the flood.
10:50Their belongings, such as a washing machine and a towel,
10:53were placed on a high bed
10:55so that they can rest when it rains.
10:59Their rice was also submerged in the flood.
11:02When I woke up, there was a lot of water.
11:05I said, son, get up.
11:06Your bed is covered in water.
11:09It is hard to escape.
11:11Ma'am, when you escape, will you bring all your belongings with you?
11:16Some barangays in Marilao and in the town of Santa Maria
11:20could not pass the Makayban Bridge
11:22that connects the barangays of San Jose, Patag, and Tumana.
11:26Houses in the barangays of Sulaw, Calumpit, and Bulacan were damaged.
11:30This tricycle was pushed by one of the passengers
11:33because it was difficult to cross the river.
11:35The strong wind was also felt.
11:41Pia, here in Calumpit, Bulacan,
11:43we can already feel the strong wind and strong rain
11:47after the Christine Flood.
11:48Here in my surroundings,
11:50here in the barangay of Sulaw,
11:52we can see the strong flooding of the river here.
11:56And live from Calumpit, Bulacan,
11:58for GEM Integrated News, I am Vonna Kinong, your witness.
12:02The Christine Flood continues to rain in many places in the country.
12:06At 8 p.m., the Christine Flood center in the coastal waters of Bacnotan, La Union,
12:11was last seen.
12:13The strong wind reached 95 km per hour
12:17and the flood reached 145 km per hour.
12:21The movement of the flood was slow and for now,
12:24Signal No. 2 in Metro Manila,
12:27Cagayan, along with Baboyan Islands,
12:29Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya,
12:33Apayau, Calinga, Abra, and Ifugao.
12:37Also in the mountain province, Benguet,
12:40Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union,
12:44Pangasinan, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, and Tarlac.
12:49Signal No. 2 in Zambales,
12:52Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan,
12:55northern portion of Cavite, northern portion of Rizal,
12:59and northern portion of mainland Quezon.

13:25Signal No. 1 in Camarines Norte,
13:27Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon,
13:31and Masbatek, along with Tikau and Bureas Islands.
13:34In the latest track of hope,
13:36the Philippine Area of Responsibility
13:40is expected to move
13:42to the northern part of the Philippines
13:46tomorrow afternoon.
13:48But there is a possibility
13:51that the Philippine Area of Responsibility
13:55depends on the weather disturbances
13:57in the eastern part of the Philippines.
13:59And this is another low-pressure area
14:01that is expected to experience a typhoon
14:03in the next 24 hours.
14:06The latest forecast is 2,405 kilometers
14:10to the east of northeastern Mindanao.
14:12If the typhoon continues and enters the PAR,
14:15it will be called the Lion Typhoon.
14:18Aside from that, there is another LPA
14:20that is almost next to it,
14:22but for now, the chances of it being a typhoon are low.
14:25According to this LPA,
14:27the typhoon is expected to enter the PAR this weekend
14:31and possibly affect the movement of the Typhoon Christine.
14:35A ship sank in the Baybay of Pangasinan earlier
14:38following a storm surge.
14:40The Typhoon Christine was also felt
14:42in other places in Northern Luzon.
14:44J.P. Soriano is live.
14:48J.P.?
14:50The Typhoon Christine did not directly hit
14:53the province of Ilocos Norte,
14:55but local officials took action
14:58and evacuated the residents
15:00who live in the barangays,
15:02most of whom are households.
15:03But despite this,
15:04the town and province of Luzon
15:07and other towns in Luzon
15:10felt the permission of the Typhoon Christine.
15:13Typhoon Christine
15:19The Typhoon Christine did not put Isabela to sleep.
15:22Before its landfall in the town of Divilacan
15:25last night,
15:27the strong wind and rain
15:30continued until the lights went out.
15:34The rice fields in the town of Tumawini were flooded.
15:38The Pinakanawan River was also flooded
15:41in the rice fields and roads.
15:43The Pinakanawan River and Cagayan River
15:45were flooded.
15:47Our barangays are very critical.
15:50That's why we're here at the evacuation center
15:53to give food packs
15:55to our evacuees.
15:57Flooding in 22 barangays.
16:01The roof of a school in Buguey, Cagayan
16:04was also flooded
16:05due to the strong wind of the typhoon.
16:08The width of the river in Tuguegarao, Cagayan
16:10was also flooded.
16:15In Natonin Mountain Province,
16:17a vehicle was left behind
16:19when it fell in front of
16:21the mixed white and stone
16:23from the mountains.
16:25Luckily, the vehicle was saved.
16:30It also rained in Baguio City.
16:32Some landslide-prone barangays
16:35like Barangay Lower Quirino Hill.
16:37Our real problem here is soil erosion.
16:40Especially when the soil is saturated
16:42for a few days
16:43and then suddenly it rains heavily.
16:45It's a big problem.
16:47The garbage in City Lagoon
16:49was removed so that
16:51there's no chance of flooding.
16:55The downpour of Hurricane Christine
16:57was also seen in Bangis ng Alon
16:59in the Pangasinan Sea.
17:01It caused a storm surge
17:03in many towns and villages
17:05like Binmalay where more than
17:07300 residents were evacuated.
17:10Boats were towed and evacuated
17:12but a boat crashed into the town.
17:16It crashed around 11 o'clock
17:18at night.
17:19They will call the attentions
17:21of the Coast Guard.
17:22In Linggayet,
17:23the bay walk was flooded
17:25and trees fell due to the strong wind.
17:27We were evacuated at 3 o'clock
17:29because of the storm.
17:31Out of 97 families,
17:33about 357 individuals were affected.
17:38The number of motorists
17:39in Querino, Ilocos Sur
17:41suffered heavy flooding.
17:43According to the PDRRMO of Ilocos Sur,
17:46more than 1,500 residents
17:48from 12 towns and 2 cities
17:50in the province were evacuated.
17:53In the afternoon,
17:54it rained and there was wind
17:56in Ilocos Norte.
17:57The residents were evacuated
17:59near Ilocos Sur and Dike.
18:02This is the destroyed Dike
18:04in front of Padsan River.
18:06This is the Dike that was destroyed
18:08by Hurricane Julian.
18:09The repair is ongoing
18:10but it was hit by Hurricane Christine.
18:13And on the other side,
18:15that is the West Philippine Sea.
18:17The residents were brought
18:19to the evacuation center
18:21in Pangambanga
18:22for soil erosion.
18:24The dike was destroyed
18:26and eroded.
18:27That's why their house is nearby.
18:30More than 50 families
18:31were in the evacuation center
18:33like John Ale,
18:34who was the first to be evacuated
18:36and brought back
18:38their pet,
18:39Madel.
18:44This is still the heart
18:45of the province of Ilocos Norte.
18:47According to the LGU,
18:48more than 350,000
18:51crops were destroyed
18:53including rice and corn
18:55because of the rain.
18:57But according to them,
18:59this is only a small percentage
19:01compared to the previous hurricanes
19:03because the farmers were able
19:05to harvest their crops early
19:07before Hurricane Christine.
19:09And live from Ilocos Norte,
19:11I am JP Soriano,
19:12your witness.
19:15The flood was also severe
19:17in some parts of Laguna.
19:18In Las Piñas,
19:19the motorists were stranded
19:21because of the flood.
19:22And the witness live
19:23is Rafi Tima.
19:25Rafi?
19:29The rescue operation
19:30of the barangay officials
19:31of Zapote 1
19:32in Bacor, Cavite
19:33will continue until tonight
19:34because the flood
19:35continues to rise.
19:37Their barangay
19:38has been requesting
19:39for rescue boats
19:40to be brought in
19:41in fear of reaching
19:42the second floor
19:43of their houses.
19:45For now,
19:46almost 70 families
19:47were evacuated
19:48and brought to Barangay Hall
19:49and Zapote Elementary School.
19:51Aside from the continuous
19:52and strong rain,
19:54the high tide caused
19:55a flood.
19:56Aside from Zapote 1,
19:57some parts of Bacor
19:58were also submerged
19:59in the flood,
20:00as well as in Las Piñas.
20:07The reason for the flood
20:08in this primary road
20:09is the rising level
20:10of the Longos River
20:11because of the continuous
20:12rain.
20:13Because of this,
20:14many motorists were stranded.
20:15Many of them
20:16just walked
20:17to get to Zapote Junction.
20:20There are motorists
20:21who have already
20:22crossed the river,
20:23but even if the engine
20:24is dead,
20:25it won't move.
20:26Don't you know that it's deep?
20:27No, I was told
20:28that it's deep.
20:29Why did you continue?
20:31I just pushed it.
20:32I thought it was deep.
20:34I just pushed the engine.
20:35This is my first time
20:36experiencing this
20:37because I just started
20:38working
20:39until 5 p.m.
20:42But
20:44it's like this.
20:46Here in Arikap,
20:47the water level
20:48is too high
20:49on the side of the river.
20:50You walked
20:51to the other side
20:52of the river,
20:53but the water level
20:54is still too high.
20:55Even though the rain
20:56is still continuous,
20:57the water level
20:58here is still too high.
20:59The officials
21:00of Barangay Zapote 1
21:01encouraged the barangay
21:02residents
21:03who are in the lower
21:04part of their area
21:05to evacuate
21:06right now.
21:07The barangay also
21:08released their
21:09rescue boats
21:10for the residents
21:11who were
21:12forced to evacuate.
21:13You can see in the video
21:14that from the steep
21:15rise of the river,
21:16the river reached
21:17the mouth
21:18of some parts
21:19of the barangay.
21:21We're here now.
21:25The water level
21:27is too high.
21:29We even brought
21:30a boat.
21:33Other parts of Laguna
21:34were also flooded.
21:37The roads
21:38in Barangay Paagahan
21:39in Mabitac were also
21:40flooded.
21:44Flooding in
21:45Santa Rosa Laguna
21:46was also intense.
21:48Flooding in
21:49Calamba, Tagaytay Road
21:50in Barangay Lawa
21:51in Calamba was also intense.
21:52There was no electricity
21:53in Calamba
21:54while the residents
21:55were evacuating.
21:58Some houses
21:59were just
22:00covered in mud.
22:05At this time,

22:14motorists
22:15here in

22:23trucks are
22:24going through.
22:25Please talk to
