00:00Many of the people who were left behind in Baguio-Christine were hit by landslides in Batangas.
00:06The Mines and Geosciences Bureau has a geohazard map to see which places are landslide-prone,
00:13and you can check it online.
00:15Raffi Tima is a witness.
00:21Even though some residents who were left behind in Baguio-Christine are not allowed to return to their place in Goncillo, Batangas,
00:27they are thinking of where to go back to when they were evacuated to evacuation centers.
00:32It's really hard.
00:34We can't go back home because we can't live here.
00:40The inside is full, but the bottom is empty.
00:44Aside from the houses, the lives of many residents are also affected.
00:49Some floating fish cages were destroyed while the fish were fish-killed.
00:53Some boats were also hit.
00:56Floating fish cages were destroyed.
01:00Some of the floating fish cages fell to the ground.
01:03It's all gone.
01:07The part of the Talisay-Laurel-Agoncillo Road was damaged.
01:10It collided with the town of Agoncillo and the town of Laurel
01:13because of the strong flow of water that was brought by the trees from the mountains.
01:18In the latest report of Batangas PDRRMO,
01:2121 roads are still impassable.
01:25Many of those affected by the Christine earthquake are due to landslides.
01:29In the briefing of the Office of Civil Defense on the effects of the earthquake,
01:33the Geohazard Map of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the DANR was given importance.
01:38It's complete.
01:40That's why we really need to use everything,
01:44especially our colleagues in the local government units.
01:48This is the Geohazard Map of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.
01:51Anyone who has access to this map,
01:53as long as you have an internet connection,
01:55you will be able to see if your area is a landslide prone area or a flood-prone area.
02:00The problem is, according to the OCD itself,
02:02there is a lack of knowledge that there is a map like this.
02:06Barangay Sampaloc in Talisay, Batangas,
02:08where two people were killed in a landslide,
02:10red on the Geohazard Map,
02:12means there is a high chance of a landslide if it rains heavily.
02:17This is not the time when you don't know what will happen.
02:20There is a lack of knowledge that there is information like this.
02:28The Office of Civil Defense plans to ask the local government
02:31and local media members in their area
02:34to repeat this information
02:37whenever there is a storm or bad weather.
02:40The MGB admitted,
02:41even though their Geohazard Map is now good and extensive,
02:45it still needs more data
02:47to make the landslide prediction more accurate.
02:50As of now,
02:51we have achieved about 50%
02:54for our updating of the 1 to 10,000 scale
02:57of our rain-induced landslide and flooding.
03:00And we aim to finish it by 2028.
03:03Aside from the Geohazard Map,
03:05some places have already placed a warning sign
03:07that it is close to a landslide.
03:09For GMI Integrated News,
03:11Rafi Tima is your witness.
