00:00This is what the severe tropical storm Christine left behind in almost the whole of the Philippines.
00:13Cities and provinces were swept away and submerged in the white.
00:19Lands were collapsed and stones grew.
00:26Broken bridges, destroyed piers or ports,
00:36houses that were only covered in mud,
00:40lifeless bodies,
00:45cars that were swept away
00:48because of the strong winds,
00:51as well as heavy rains and rescue efforts.
01:02In Nabua, Camarines Sur, a man was rescued,
01:06stuck in a coconut tree so that the flood would not come.
01:17The man is the son of Ernesto, Sandy,
01:20who was stuck in a coconut tree after their boat capsized.
01:31Ernesto's relatives, who were riding a boat,
01:34spread out to rescue Sandy,
01:37who at that time was already weak because of 12 hours of struggling in the raging flood.
01:47Fortunately, there was no more wind when we were rescuing Sandy.
01:51When the rescue was near,
01:54Sandy let go,
01:57and just clung to the side of the boat.
02:00By the grace of God, I was saved.
02:02When I saw the coconut tree, I was very happy.
02:07Christine's volume of rain reached 528.5 millimeters.
02:14That's more than what was caused by the Ondoy and Yolanda floods,
02:19which were only 40 millimeters high.
02:21The flooding was slow, so the rain was heavy in one place.
02:25Another reason is that we were going to Leninia.
02:29Because of the flood in Nabua,
02:31We are here in Bubong.
02:33Christine was also struck by the flood in Bubong,
02:36when their house was flooded.
02:39It was not possible for us to leave the house because it was already dark.
02:43The water was very strong.
02:45We were 11 people in Bubong.
02:47That's why her father, Perto,
02:49made a way for them to escape.
02:52He couldn't take it anymore.
02:53He saw that we haven't eaten for several hours.
02:56He couldn't sleep.
02:57Out of pity, he really thought of making a raft.
03:01But this became the nightmare of his life.
03:04He said, I can't take it anymore, it's cold.
03:06He was pulling me.
03:07I said, hold on, don't let go.
03:09He fell into the water.
03:13I tried to CPR him.
03:15Whatever I did, he was gone.
03:17He didn't respond anymore.
03:20It was very cold.
03:21It was very cold.
03:27Next, we are here in the very center of Barangay Sampaloc,
03:32in the town of Talisay, here in Batangas.
03:35In the casualty count of Christine,
03:38this is the barangay with the highest number of deaths.
03:50In the entire Philippines,
03:51more than 80 people were killed.
03:5518 of them,
03:56or even more,
03:58from the landslide in Talisay, Batangas.
04:02The mountainous area of Tapias.
04:05This Friday, our team headed to Talisay.
04:09How is the condition of Christine here?
04:11It looks like the landslide is severe.
04:13Almost 24 hours, ma'am,
04:16the same rain,
04:17and then there was even wind.
04:20It continued until it reached the roof of the houses.
04:25On the way,
04:26our paths were muddy.
04:29Almost everything was submerged in mud.
04:33It was destroyed.
04:35No houses were spared.
04:37We are here in the very center of Barangay Sampaloc,
04:41in the town of Talisay, here in Batangas.
04:44You can see how severe the landslide was here
04:48because the landslides hit them twice.
04:51It was made very strong,
04:53and there was no stopping of the rain.
04:55The land from this mountain,
04:59from the high part of this barangay,
05:01was completely destroyed.
05:03The houses here are completely destroyed.
05:06There's a car,
05:07and I think the whole house was washed out here.
05:11It looks like you're going to clean a big house.
05:13Yes, ma'am.
05:18The most painful thing for the residents here
05:21is not the loss of their houses or properties,
05:25but their loved ones.
05:29Just like Zeddy,
05:30who was killed by five family members.
05:34My father, my brother, and two nieces.
05:37What happened?
05:38They were hit by rocks.
05:40As of now,
05:41Friday, the official death count here is 14.
05:46They said there were 12 children.
05:47Zeddy said there were 5 or 6 more that were not taken.
05:51So, the death toll might reach 20.
05:55How do you handle this?
05:57It was painful at first.
05:58It was just yesterday.
05:59Was it inside your house?
06:00It was inside.
06:01They tried to get out,
06:03but they couldn't.
06:04The big rocks were about to reach us.
06:05Where were you then?
06:07I was downstairs.
06:08What did you do when you heard the news?
06:10I sat down.
06:11When I got there,
06:12my brother's nephew came out.
06:15Why did they say it was gone?
06:17No, I saw it.
06:18He was lying down.
06:19What some residents are blaming
06:22is the illegal quarry
06:24that is only a few meters away from their homes.
06:28I think the only reason was the deforestation.
06:31A lot of people were sleeping upstairs.
06:33Everything that should be there is gone,
06:36which is the pool.
06:37A football field is big enough.
06:41Their open pit does not have benches.
06:43This past year,
06:45this was discussed by NBI officials.
06:48They say that there was a raid by the NBI.
06:52It's about five barangays away from Sampano.
06:56I don't think the quarrying is a factor
06:58because Talisay is part of the protected area of Taal Volcano.
07:03This barangay is small,
07:05but in the casualty count of Hurricane Christine,
07:08this barangay was the one with the most deaths.
07:14We also met this man
07:16who never stops talking.
07:18What he is looking for is his mother who was drowned.
07:28A few hours later,
07:31his wife and daughter were also found.
07:34But both of them are no longer alive.
07:49Ah!
08:13Ah!
08:15Ah!
08:19These are repeated tragedies
08:22that show the whole of nature
08:26how we seem to have no enemies.
08:30Help! We need to get out of here.
08:32We might be rescued.
08:34Even how the decisions and actions of those in power
08:40will determine our salvation.
08:45Ah!
08:49Among the thousands of cars in the impounding area,
08:53there was one that was also played.
08:57It really provoked the courage of the guards.
09:02Who had an experience in the bus?
09:04What I felt was that the bus was shaking.
09:07Help!
09:10While our team was circling around,
09:12the CCTV camera caught something
09:14that looked like it fell down the hallway.
09:20What is that?
09:22It's gone.
