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