00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:04Strong winds, rain, and thunderstorms are raging in Batanes due to the Leona storm that is slowly approaching the province.

00:16In Cagaya, a storm surge is expected, so the residents should return to the evacuation center.

00:23Local authorities are appealing for help as many people have yet to recover from the storm.

00:30Live from Gonzaga, Cagayan, Jonathan is with us.

00:35Jonathan.

00:39Well, Emil, Vicky, we are at signal number 3 here in Gonzaga, Cagayan.

00:43The rain is pouring, but it's not that heavy.

00:47The strong winds and thunderstorms are strong here.

00:50But in Batanes, it's already signal number 4.

00:53We will show you the video of the lighthouse that showed the strong winds and thunderstorms.

00:59The government said that the enemy of the storm is the wind.

01:03The rain is pouring, but it's not that heavy.

01:08For the first time, the government said that just now, 100 families went to their evacuation center.

01:13For now, their family food packs are running out.

01:16That's why the governor is calling for a C-130 plane to deliver food.

01:34Residents were quickly rescued by the city of Gonzaga, Cagayan,

01:38as a result of the super typhoon Leon this afternoon.

01:41Storm Surge or Tubig Dagat already entered their houses.

01:45Ma'am, why did you escape just now?

01:47Because the Tubig Dagat reached here, sir.

01:49Did that happen just now? Did the Tubig Dagat reach your house?

01:52Yes, sir.

01:53Actually, only one family should be the target to be rescued by the rescuers here.

01:57But they were surprised when they arrived here.

01:59The Tubig Dagat reached the houses.

02:03Residents are being rescued to be evacuated from here to the storm surge.

02:11There's a big chance that it will rise, sir.

02:13Because the projection is from 2 to 4 meters high.

02:17Well, they should have been evacuated earlier.

02:20Because it's hard to evacuate at night.

02:23But there are some residents who don't want to leave.

02:26Sir, why don't you want to leave?

02:30But why don't you want to leave?

02:32The equipment is still not fixed, sir.

02:35In order to get out of the storm surge, the residents destroyed their equipment.

02:40While Esper is a farmer, he's still working hard even though there's a super typhoon.

02:45He's wasting his 700 pesos a day in operating a tractor.

02:50Because we don't have anything here.

02:54We don't have anything.

02:57Nothing?

02:58We don't have any income.

02:59Aren't you afraid?

03:01No, sir.

03:02It's always like this.

03:04Typhoon Leon didn't pour a lot of water in Region 2.

03:10So the swelling of the Cagayan River is just a little bit.

03:15The Cagayan River can absorb any water that comes down from upstream provinces.

03:25Because of the large number of evacuees, the tents in this gym in Gonzaga are being used again.

03:30In the town of Bagao, the residents of the storm surge returned to the evacuation center.

03:35Like Jenny, who left her house because of the heavy equipment.

03:39We can't sleep because of the strong wind, sir.

03:43Maybe we can sleep later because we have a lot of wood, sir.

03:47In Tuguegarao City, the residents of the storm surge stayed in the evacuation center for more than a week.

03:51And they still can't go home.

03:53We wanted to go home, but when I saw the situation, it was dark and cloudy.

04:00So we decided not to leave because of the strong wind.

04:04Even though the number of evacuees has increased, the food and non-food items of the province are still enough.

04:09But after the storm Hulian, Cristin, and now the super typhoon Leon,

04:13the Calamity Fund of Cagayan has run out.

04:16We will be requesting augmentation to the National DRM Council.

04:22This will be the first time for the province of Cagayan.

04:26We will be requesting augmentation for the quick response fund.

04:31In the town of Santa Ana, the strong wind is blowing.

04:35It is dark and there is almost zero visibility in the area.

04:44Vicky, as of now, more than 8,000 people have been evacuated in the province of Cagayan.

04:51The PDRMO said that tomorrow, there will be no entry in the province of Cagayan from kindergarten to grade 12.

04:59Those are public and private schools.

05:02The latest from Gonzaga, Cagayan.

05:04Back to you, Vicky.

05:05Jonathan, how long will the supplies of food and non-food items in evacuation centers last?

05:12In Cagayan, the PDRMO said that they still have food supplies.

05:21But in Batanes, Governor Kayco said that their food stocks will last for one to two weeks.

05:28And they need additional supplies.

05:31Actually, there is a Philippine Navy ship that has food supplies for Batanes.

05:35However, there was a typhoon and the ship is now stationed in a shelter in Ilocos Norte.

05:44It has not reached Batanes yet.

05:47The PDRMO said that they should use the C-130 after the typhoon so that food can reach them in Batanes.

05:54Jonathan, how about the supply of water, electricity, cell phones, and other items?

06:05In my position, Vicky, in Gonzaga, Cagayan, there is electricity, water, and cell phone signal.

06:11But in other parts of Cagayan, there is a brownout because the electric line that supplies electricity here tripped this morning.

06:24But the PDRMO said that they are expecting the supply of electricity to return to the whole of Cagayan tonight, Vicky.

06:32Alright. Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
