00:00In addition to the storm that left the town of Bagyong Cristin,

00:03the people of Talisay, Batangas were also affected by the storm.

00:0814 people were confirmed dead after being swept away by the storm.

00:12Marisol Abduraman was live there.

00:15Marisol.

00:19Emil, after the flood, the people of Batangas became very calm

00:24because they were still unable to pass through some roads,

00:27just like here in Talisay.

00:29Meanwhile, Emil, as you mentioned, the retrieval operation is still going on

00:33in Gumuhungas, Barangay Sampaloc, where 14 people have been confirmed dead.

00:43Only white and stones can be seen here in Barangay Sampaloc, Talisay, Batangas.

00:47Next to the landslide, houses were swept away

00:50and some residents were buried in the mud.

00:53Among those who were swept away and not yet seen,

00:56is the mother of Elmer De Jucos.

00:58There were no signs of landslides.

01:00The rain was weak, but there was no damage.

01:03When we came back here, it was all gone.

01:05Her two children were able to run,

01:07but her husband and two-year-old son were left inside the house.

01:12There are 20 households and 8 of them were swept away.

01:16There are packets of landslides from Tagaytay down here.

01:20All the water, trees, and boulders were swept down here.

01:27You wouldn't think that my house used to have houses,

01:31but now there are thick white and big stones.

01:34These houses were swept away by the landslides

01:37because of the heavy rain yesterday.

01:39There are 20 houses that were swept away,

01:41of which 14 are now being recovered.

01:44The other two, here at the back of Celo's house,

01:47were found yesterday.

01:48They were a few meters away from the landslide area.

01:51The water carried it here.

01:54We got it from here.

01:56That's why if someone died here,

01:58I wouldn't be able to get it back.

02:00The people who were retrieved were taken to Lawa

02:02to be transported to the town.

02:04We were going to a town called Talisay,

02:07but we couldn't get through here.

02:09The landslides also hit the town of Talisay.

02:12Houses, establishments, and vehicles were swept away

02:16by the heavy rain.

02:18We couldn't get through this road to Talisay, Batangas,

02:21except for the heavy rain.

02:24The trees were also swept away by the landslides.

02:30A clearing operation is underway.

02:33This is also the situation in Lemery.

02:35Vehicles were swept away by the landslides.

02:38Yesterday, we couldn't get through this area

02:41in Lemery because of the heavy rain.

02:43But up until now,

02:44we still couldn't get through

02:46because of the landslides on the road.

02:49That's why it's hard to clean

02:51even though there are some motorcycles

02:54that were able to get through.

02:56We were looking for water, but we couldn't find any.

02:59The trucks were stranded yesterday.

03:02The trucks were heavy.

03:05Despite the landslides on the roads from Lemery to Talisay,

03:10there were trees that were swept away

03:12and the electricity was cut off.

03:14In the latest information we received from the Provincial Director of Batangas PNP,

03:19four boats were recovered this afternoon.

03:22Eighteen confirmed dead were found

03:25in the landslides in Sampaloc and Talisay.

03:28And as of 6 p.m.,

03:3049 people died in the province

03:33and 17 are still missing.

03:35But this is just the basis of the information

03:38and data that we received.

03:40But this is just the basis of the information

03:42and data that we received.

03:45The PDRRMO is still looking for information

03:49on how many individuals in the province are affected

03:54and if there is a state of calamity.

03:57Emil.

03:58Marisol, this part of Barangay Sampaloc,

04:01where the landslide happened,

04:03was it identified by the authorities as landslide-prone?

04:07And wasn't there a so-called pre-emptive evacuation

04:11before the landslide happened?

04:16Actually, Emil,

04:17before the heavy rain really hit,

04:21they already had a pre-emptive evacuation.

04:24However, they admitted, Emil,

04:26that their focus was on the coastal areas

04:29where they usually have landslides

04:31and where there are usually many casualties.

04:34Because, based on our investigation,

04:36in the residences there,

04:38for a long period of time,

04:39they experienced heavy rain and typhoons,

04:42but they did not experience landslides in the area.

04:45Although they issued warnings,

04:48they did not have a pre-emptive evacuation.

04:50But earlier, Emil,

04:52when we asked,

04:53because there are 20 houses,

04:54but only a few families ran away

04:56because some of them already had an evacuation

04:59before the rain yesterday, Emil.

05:01Thank you very much,

05:03Marisol Abdurrahman.
