00:00The bus is coming!

00:02Let's go!

00:31The residents of Cavite, Batangas, Bicol and other places are still waking up to the rescue.

00:38The number of deaths in the country is not decreasing.

00:41According to the Office of Civil Defense, most of the deaths are from Bicol and Calabarzon.

00:49Eighteen people have been confirmed dead in the earthquake and landslides in Talisay, Batangas.

00:54Five people were also found dead in Agoncillo, Matangay, Agos.

00:58Witness, Marisol Duramacan.

01:04The town of Lemery, Batangas, was unable to enter yesterday because of the deep and wide flood.

01:11And when it hit, the thick mud and mudslides returned, which made it difficult for vehicles to pass.

01:19On a road in Palanan, yesterday, the trucks were stranded because of the mudslides.

01:25It is still not accessible.

01:29In the town of Agoncillo, last night, the mudslides were a problem.

01:33This resident had to get help to get his lost motorcycle.

01:38Many vehicles were stranded in the mudslides, including houses full of soil.

01:44Trees and pavements collapsed, not only their original use, but also the house.

01:50The house, the gray roof, was built here.

01:53Right here?

01:54Yes.

01:56Five people were found dead in the town.

01:58Three in Subic, Ilaya, one in Subic, Ibaba, and one in Panjulan.

02:03All of them were drowned and buried.

02:06Joel's uncle probably saved his family, but he was the one who was buried.

02:12We were the only ones who were able to leave.

02:14My uncle passed away when I saw that.

02:16That's why my nephew cried.

02:18He sacrificed himself, even though it was difficult, to tie up the trees so that his father could leave.

02:23The local government needs more equipment to speed up the clearing operation of the roads.

02:30We still have areas that are not yet accessible.

02:36It was very difficult for the first time.

02:39The communication line was difficult because we didn't have internet.

02:47Even our cell phones didn't have signal.

02:53Normally, it would just flood, but it would easily subside.

03:00Now, the water is connected to the land.

03:04It's connected to the trees.

03:07The trees have already been uprooted.

03:11There's a lot of water.

03:16There are also residents who were buried in Gujo, in Barangay Sampaloc, in the town of Talisay.

03:21Even though they were able to escape, they couldn't find their mother, Elmer de Jucos.

03:26We didn't expect the landslides to happen.

03:29The rain was weak, but there was no damage.

03:31When we came back, the landslides stopped.

03:33His two children were able to escape,

03:35but their two-year-old daughter was left inside the house.

03:39There are 20 households, and 8 of them were affected.

03:43There are pockets of landslides, from Tagaytay down here.

03:47All the water, the trees, the boulders, and the land are down here.

03:54You might think that this house used to have builders,

03:58but now, the boulders are thick and big.

04:01They were able to escape the landslides because of the heavy rain yesterday.

04:05Two more are missing, and 18 have been confirmed to have been affected by the landslides.

04:10Two of them were found here yesterday, behind the house of Celo,

04:14a few meters away from the landslide area.

04:17He was brought here by the flood.

04:20We found him here.

04:22He was brought here by the flood.

04:23If he was still alive, he wouldn't have been brought here.

04:25Those who were retrieved were transported to Lawa to be delivered to the town.

04:30Other houses, establishments, and vehicles in Talisay were submerged in thick puddles.

04:36This road cannot pass through Talisay, Batangas,

04:39except for the thick puddles,

04:41as well as the fallen trees that are hanging from the road.

04:47The landslides were accompanied by rocks and branches of wood

04:50that fell on the side of the National Highway in San Jose, Batangas.

04:54No one was hurt.

04:55A few nearby stores were swept away by the strong winds caused by the storm.

05:00Some residential areas were still submerged in a wide floodplain,

05:05and JP Laurel Highway in Lipa City was still flooded.

05:08President Bongbong Marcos visited the towns of Batangas and Cavite,

05:13where the storm Christine was most affected by.

05:16The President ordered the use of all government vehicles for rescue and relief operations

05:22on land, water, or air, even the presidential chopper.

05:27We just have to keep monitoring the situation

05:30and make sure always the rescue and relief, that cannot stop.

05:38It doesn't matter if there's another storm coming, we cannot stop.

05:42He told the government leaders.

05:44Just remember there are people still in water right now.

05:52They're still flooded.

05:53They're walking around with water up to their waist.

05:56They have no water supply.

05:57They have no food.

05:58They have no place to stay.

06:00So if you think you're tired, think about what their condition is.

06:05So let's always keep that in mind.

06:08For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman is your witness.
