NewsTranscript
00:00A resident of Maycawayan, Bulacan, is now on his way out of his house.
00:05A few moments ago, a part of MacArthur Highway was flooded.
00:10Watch this.
00:16There was no heavy rain, but a part of Maycawayan City, Bulacan, was still flooded.
00:21Motorists had a hard time getting to the part of MacArthur Highway.
00:25Some motorcycle riders just pushed their motorcycles to cross the flood.
00:30I pushed my motorcycle, but when I got here, it didn't want to go.
00:33It's hard, it's expensive.
00:35It's hard to ride a motorcycle.
00:37Where are you going?
00:38I'm going to Bulacan.
00:40Where are you going?
00:41I'm going to Pande.
00:43Around 3 p.m., it's passable for a big vehicle, but other motorists are afraid to go home.
00:49It was past 4 p.m. when the flood reached Barangay Saluisoy.
00:54This is how high the flood is here in Barangay Saluisoy, Maycawayan City, Bulacan.
00:59According to the barangay, this is due to a high tide and the loss of water from the dam.
01:04Using the boat deployed by the barangay,
01:06the boat of a resident who got sick was taken out of the house.
01:12Emilie Salas, who was in the flood,
01:14agreed to buy food outside because they can't cook at home anymore.
01:18We can still eat.
01:20Where is the flood at your house?
01:23It's up to here.
01:25What floor are you on?
01:27We're on the second floor.
01:29When the night came, the flood continued.
01:32According to the barangay, if the heavy rain doesn't stop tonight,
01:36the flood could continue tomorrow morning.
01:39This place is really low.
01:42There were also landslides and landslides.
01:47So this place was left.
01:50That's why this place became a catch-basin for our barangay.
01:55The flood hit MacArthur Highway last night at 7 p.m.
01:59For GMA Integrated News, I'm your host, Bona Kinong.
02:05C-130 was used to deliver relief goods to Albay
02:08after the disaster of Hurricane Christine.
02:11It was difficult to deliver aid to some parts of Camarinas Sur
02:14due to the depth of the flood in some areas that concern the towns.
02:18From Naga City, Camarinas Sur, I'm your host, Ian Cruz.
02:23Ian?
02:26Pia, the weather here in Naga City is good until now.
02:31The stranded vehicles that are stuck in the main roads
02:36are making it difficult for the rescue teams to arrive.
02:41The aid workers are trying to find a solution
02:44while the weather continues to improve.
02:49From San Fernando, we joined the rescue truck
02:51of the MMDA Public Safety Division
02:53towards Milaur, Camarinas Sur.
02:56The roads are flooded.
02:58And when it comes to Tulay, at the foot of Bicol River,
03:01it's difficult to pass due to the stranded vehicles.
03:06After Tulay, the water is even deeper.
03:09Many are walking in the direction of Naga.
03:12Others are stuck in the mud so that they won't get wet in August.
03:16Some of them were stuck in the MMDA rescue vehicle
03:19and in the Red Cross boat.
03:22The TNP staff is also delivering food to the stranded.
03:27When it comes to another Tulay, our journey stops.
03:30We're near the center of Milaur
03:32and we're riding the MMDA rescue boat.
03:35We can see the problem here.
03:36There are many stranded vehicles in this area.
03:39That's why the vehicles of the MMDA, other NGOs,
03:43and government agencies can't continue.
03:45So this is one of the big problems
03:47that is caused by the fast travel to Naga
03:50and other parts of Bicol.
03:52From the rescue truck, we moved to the rubber boat.
03:56The water in the Milaur river is overflowing.
03:59There are many people in the second floor.
04:01How are you there?
04:02We're fine. We just need food and water.
04:05They're asking for food and water.
04:08There are many people in the second floor.
04:11They're hoping for help.
04:14Many vehicles are submerged in the water
04:17and are stuck on some roads.
04:19That's why they can't pass through, like the Maharlika Highway.
04:23It's hard for our vehicles to get here.
04:26Even relief goods can't get here.
04:30When it comes to Naga, many are drowning.
04:34Others are riding the boats used in the Fluvial Parade
04:38during the Peña Francia Festival.
04:40According to Naga, Siliara Rebo is still flooded in seven barangays.
04:444,000 residents are already in the evacuation center.
04:48The Philippine Army and DPWH will help
04:51in clearing the roads
04:53so that rescue teams and relief goods can enter.
04:57In Lungsod ng Iriga,
04:59Waras Bridge was temporarily closed
05:01because it collapsed in Iriga and Bayan ng Baaw.
05:04The bridge was damaged after the ground collapsed
05:07due to Hurricane Christine.
05:09In Libon ng Albay,
05:11on the left and right,
05:13the bridge was left by Hurricane Christine.
05:15It's like an old garage that collapsed
05:17because of the flood.
05:19Along with the water,
05:20the tractor,
05:21some vehicles,
05:22and animals that belong to the owner
05:24were also swept away by the wind and sand
05:27after a flood.
05:29According to Libon LGU,
05:31two were seen dead
05:33while one was missing there
05:35following a landslide in Barangay Borabod.
05:38Libon is now under state of calamity.
05:42It's the worst flooding in history
05:46in our town of Libon.
05:48There were many people who drowned
05:50and lost their homes.
05:52We need to use floating.
05:55Because there's still not enough help
05:57in the affected areas,
05:58some are doing bad things
06:01just to earn a living.
06:02One night in Tanaka City,
06:04there was an attempt to loot
06:07a convenience store
06:09because they were chasing food.
06:12That was the main reason for their survival.
06:15So that's what we're monitoring
06:17and our law enforcers are watching.
06:20Earlier this afternoon,
06:21the Philippine Air Force
06:23boarded the C-130 aircraft
06:25to bring the relief goods of the DSWD
06:27to Albay.
06:30Some rubber boats of the Philippine Army
06:32will be used for the rescue operation
06:34in Lalawiga.
06:35The Philippine Air Force
06:36was already able to go into Naga
06:38and to Legazpi.
06:40And we will continue the air bridge
06:42to take advantage of any gaps
06:44in the weather now.
06:50According to the DSWD,
06:51the LGUs here in Kamsur
06:53have requested new supplies
06:55so that they can be distributed
06:57to the affected residents and live.
07:00From Naga City,
07:01for GMA Integrated News,
07:03I'm Ian Cruz,
07:04your witness.
07:07Vegetables arrived
07:08at the Trading Post
07:09in Trinidad, Benguet
07:11following the storm Christine.
07:13In Baguio City,
07:14landslides hit several places.
07:16And from Baguio City,
07:17Saksila,
07:18Sandra Ginal.
07:21Sandra?
07:23Yes, Pia.
07:24Here in Baguio City,
07:26the weather is good.
07:27The rain has stopped
07:29and the local government hopes
07:30that the weather will be better tomorrow.
07:33But earlier,
07:34the LGUs were busy
07:36cleaning up the fallen trees
07:39and soil.
07:44After the heavy rainfall
07:46in Baguio City,
07:48landslides hit several residential areas.
07:52The two men ran
07:54to save their motorcycle
07:57from the landslides.
08:02One of them
08:03was able to save his motorcycle
08:05but it was still hit by the landslides
08:07so he let it go.
08:10I hesitated
08:11if I should do this or not.
08:13I feel like I can still do it
08:14so we saved the motorcycle.
08:18The riprap
08:19of a residential compound
08:20was damaged.
08:22It was only three years
08:23since it was built.
08:26This landslide was even worse
08:28because it happened
08:29before the landslide hit
08:30so the road was temporarily closed
08:33because the road was narrow.
08:36On the left and right,
08:37the LGUs responded
08:40to the fallen trees
08:42in different areas.
08:43One of them
08:44was hit by a car.
08:47On the road to Ferdinand,
08:50a big tree helped
08:52several government officials
08:54to open the road.
08:58Because of the landslide,
08:59the vegetables
09:00from the trading post
09:02in Trinidad-Benguet
09:03were scarce.
09:04We planted
09:05the damaged tomatoes.
09:10The tomatoes were just starting
09:11to grow.
09:12When the heavy rains came,
09:14they all fell.
09:16It's also a problem
09:17for those who buy vegetables
09:19from other parts of the country.
09:22The problem
09:23is the roads
09:24of the vehicles
09:25that bring vegetables.
09:27There are many roads
09:28that are damaged
09:31or flooded.
09:34There are slides.
09:37The roof of several establishments
09:39in the Alamino village
09:40in Pangasinan was also damaged.
09:43The iron bars were scattered.
09:45The roads were flooded
09:47because of the heavy rains.
09:49Yesterday,
09:50there was a strong wind and rain
09:52in Dagupan City, Pangasinan.
09:56And until now,
09:57there is still a strong
09:58flood in Baybayin.
10:00Because of this,
10:01thick sand
10:02and garbage
10:03were scattered.
10:06Some houses
10:07in Ilagan City
10:08in Isabela
10:09are still submerged.
10:10According to the CDRRMO Ilagan,
10:13more than 30,000
10:14individuals
10:15were affected.
10:17Seven barangays
10:18in the area
10:19still have no electricity
10:20while 14 barangays
10:21have no water supply.
10:26There is also a flood
10:27in that part
10:28of the West Philippine Sea
10:30in front of Barangay Kauakan
10:32in Ilocos Norte.
10:34And because
10:35Ilocos Norte
10:36and Ilocos Sur
10:37were still high
10:38in Storm Signal No. 2,
10:40the flood
10:41was prohibited
10:42for a while.
10:43Because of this,
10:44Ilocos Norte
10:45and Ilocos Sur
10:46were prohibited
10:47from fishing.
10:48That's why
10:49their livelihood
10:50was affected.
10:51Especially
10:52for the days
10:53they were unable
10:54to fish.
10:55We were only able
10:56to earn money
10:57here, sir.
10:59We were able
11:00to buy food, sir.
11:01The fishermen
11:02in the area
11:03were not able
11:04to save
11:05more than
11:06P350,000
11:07worth of
11:08broken rice
11:09and corn.
11:10The local government
11:11is ready
11:12in case
11:13a flood
11:14returns
11:15to the Philippines.
