00:00Let's go!
00:06We will all be together!
00:17This evening, passengers were able to board the terminal of the provincial bus in Pasay.
00:23The line of passengers heading to Quezon Province is long.
00:26and a long queue of motorists in some houses of NLEX, particularly in Harbor Link Interchange.
00:33There's traffic in different parts of the Expressway this evening.
00:36Visperas!
00:37Go All Saints Day!
00:41New in Saksi, the price of LPG will rise on the first day of November.
00:45Peso and 64 centimos are added to each kilo of LPG of Solane.
00:50Peso and 60 centimos for Petron.
00:53That's why the regular LPG tank, which weighs 11 kilos,
00:56will be added for P17 to P18.
01:02The estimated cost of the combined effect of Hurricane Christine and Super Hurricane Leon
01:08is P150 in different parts of the country.
01:10In Cagayan, a resort, Storm Surge or Daluyong was reported.
01:14But according to the local government, the area is a no-build zone.
01:18Saksi Live!
01:19Jonathan is here.
01:21Jonathan?
01:23Pia, we're just at signal number one in Cagayan.
01:26It's early in the morning.
01:27The weather here is good and the sun is shining.
01:30But the stormy waves here in the bay are still frightening,
01:35especially when there's a high tide.
01:41The wind and rain that experienced the early morning sun in Batanes are still raging.
01:46Because of Hurricane Leon, the tide was raised to signal number five in some places.
01:50Earlier this morning,
01:54the waves were still strong,
01:55that's why the windows and doors of some establishments were closed
01:59so that the wind would not be damaged.
02:02Some parts of Batanes have almost zero visibility.
02:07Because of this, the cut branches of trees and other debris spread on the roads of Basco.
02:14This also affected the town of Ivana,
02:16that's why the authorities helped to remove them.
02:20The cut branches of trees and other debris
02:22destroyed some parts of Santa Maria de Mayan Church in Itbayat.
02:26According to DSW Binsa, there are still 2,000 family food packs available in Batanes.
02:31But they will still send 5,000 food packs if the weather improves.
02:37In Pamiminsala, Storm Surge in Santa Ana, Cagayan,
02:40it destroyed the seawall, resort, and a house in Barangay Centro.
02:45The walls collapsed while the buildings were being built.
02:49Residents said that the seawall was damaged,
02:51the waves reached the people.
02:53Actually, they said that the sun reached the roof of this building.
02:57And that Storm Surge became a disaster
03:00because it ate the roof of this building.
03:03In other parts, the sea swallowed it and the waves ate it.
03:07Even the land in this part was eaten by the sea.
03:11Look at the bottom of the house, it's empty.
03:15The house of Mrs. Josefina was not saved from the storm surge.
03:18I feel sorry for my daughter.
03:21Why?
03:23She's the one who destroyed our house.
03:26The only thing we can do is to move out.
03:29Sir, we don't have a place to stay here in Basco.
03:33According to the residents, when the waves rose,
03:36the sea water spilled up to here.
03:38But the municipality said that there is no built zone or there should be no structure.
03:4240 meters from the high tide level of the sea.
03:45Let's fix that.
03:46Because first, we can see that it's not safe anymore.
03:49Actually, we don't have any issue with the permits,
03:51the zoning permits for those.
03:54None.
03:55Because we know that it's really illegal.
03:57The residents said that the seawall was damaged
04:00and the municipality did not approve it.
04:02The LGU is ready to help the unrescued in Daluyong
04:05but they will report to the DNR for investigation.
04:08According to the owner of the resort in the town of Santa Ana
04:11who was affected by the storm surge,
04:12they have a business permit.
04:14They also follow the Salvation Zone.
04:17When they built the resort in 2019,
04:19they were still far from the sea.
04:21Now, the water is just ahead.
04:25In the town of Calayan,
04:26more than 700 families were evacuated
04:28because of the storm surge and flood.
04:30No one was blamed for the magnitude 5.1 earthquake
04:33that hit the town this morning.
04:34Relief goods were also distributed
04:36to the residents who were evacuated
04:37because of the storm surge in Bagao, Cagayan.
04:39According to the MDRRMO,
04:41more than 1,000 families from 33 barangays
04:44were evacuated.
04:46There was a study presented to us.
04:49By 2030, our shorelines will rise.
04:53And our land area,
04:57our usable land area will be reduced.
05:00Gradually, our shorelines are getting closer
05:05to our residences
05:09attributed to our climate change.
05:12In Sabangan, Mountain Province,
05:13Agus of Bayudan River
05:15saw a 14-year-old man
05:17when he tried to cross the river.
05:19The search and rescue operations continue.
05:27According to the MDRRMO,
05:29more than 15,000 people were evacuated
05:32because of the Super Typhoon León.
05:34But many have already returned home.
05:36And live from Santa Ana, Cagayan,
05:38for GMA Integrated News,
05:40I am Jonathan Andal.
05:41Your Saksi.
05:44More than 200 towns and 28 provinces
05:47in 14 provinces
05:49are under the state of calamity
05:51after the following typhoons Christine and Leon.

05:57Camarines Norte, Catatuanes,
05:59Camarines Sur, Cavite, Quezon,
06:01Batangas, Laguna, and Sorcegon.
06:03The Energy Regulatory Commission
06:05ordered all distribution utilities
06:07not to continue the line disconnection
06:10for the consumption of 200 kWh.
06:13That's in the areas under the state of calamity.
06:16Flexible payment options were also ordered.
06:19If the consumption of 200 kWh is low,
06:22bills for the months of October to December
06:26can be paid off within 6 months.
06:31Let's take a look at the situation
06:33and the traffic outside Metro Manila
06:36from Enlex to Silat.
06:38This is Bea Pinla.
06:40Bea?
06:43Bea, as we can see,
06:45the traffic here in North Luzon,
06:47Expressway, or Enlex,
06:49but from today until Monday,
06:51it's expected to reach 360,000.
06:54Motorists pass through here every day.
06:57That's higher than 10%
06:59of the daily average traffic in Enlex.
07:04Now, the traffic in Enlex is slowing down.
07:06According to the Enlex Traffic Operations Unit,
07:08around 4 to 5 p.m. earlier,
07:10the traffic peaked from Balintawak
07:13to Maycawayan, Bulacan.
07:15Around 1 p.m. they opened the counter-flow lane,
07:18but it was closed earlier at 7 p.m.
07:20because of the rainy season.
07:22Aside from some vehicular incidents that were reported,
07:25what caused the traffic congestion
07:27were the stalled vehicles,
07:29especially the trucks.
07:30Enlex deployed 1,500 personnel
07:34for the UNDAS,
07:35including the patrolling officers,
07:38traffic marshals, security, and toll lane personnel.
07:41There's also free towing for Class 1 vehicles
07:44towards the nearest exit.
07:46Enlex is also coordinating
07:48with gas stations
07:50to increase assistance for motorists.
07:52Police are stationed at gas stations,
07:55bridges, and interchanges
07:57for monitoring and security.
07:59PIA, before 5 a.m. tomorrow,
08:01is expected to start heavy traffic
08:03because of the chases
08:05returning to their provinces
08:07and because of the whole-day event
08:09of Iglesia Ni Cristo in Ciudad de Victoria.
08:13As a reminder,
08:14Enlex will check the vehicle
08:16and itself before traveling,
08:18install and load the RFID,
08:20and check the traffic
08:22and adjust the travel time if possible.
08:27The traffic will continue to descend.
08:29Early morning tomorrow,
08:31we still expect that there will be chases.
08:34There's also an event
08:36of Iglesia Ni Cristo here in Ciudad de Victoria.
08:40Traffic will also add up tomorrow.
08:43We are prepared that before 5 a.m.,
08:46our volume will increase
08:48and it will continue until noon time
08:50or even up to 2 p.m.
08:56PIA, while at several bus stations
08:58in Cubao, Quezon City,
09:00we also noticed that the buses are still full,
09:03especially those traveling to Northern Luzon.
09:06And live from Balintawaktol Plaza in Enlex,
09:09I'm Bea Pinlak, your witness.
09:12How about Batangas Port,
09:14where travelers are added
09:16and passengers are chased
09:18to reach their respective provinces?
09:20From Batangas,
09:22I'm JP Soriano.
09:24JP?
09:27PIA, even though there are fewer passengers
09:30expected to arrive here today,
09:32in Batangas Port,
09:33the terminal is still full
09:35and there are enough passengers
09:37to travel to the provinces
09:39as of now.
09:45Until 6 p.m.,
09:46there are almost 10,000 passengers
09:48who left and arrived here
09:50in Batangas Port on the eve of the travel.
09:53This is less than expected.
09:55More than 20,000 passengers
09:57will arrive today.
09:59The terminals are still full.
10:01Like this terminal
10:03that will travel tonight
10:05to Calapan, Oriental Mindoro.
10:07Passengers are in a hurry.
10:09They are chasing the flight tonight
10:11to reach their respective provinces.
10:13Earlier, Batangas Port
10:15made it easier for passengers
10:17to board the flight.
10:19The flight was also added.
10:21Even though we have a relaxed order,
10:23we can see that you can leave.
10:26We will give you a shifting order.
10:28Otherwise, you will receive a 500% penalty.
10:30Some fast crafts were allowed again
10:33because the weather is getting better.
10:35Earlier, many passengers were expected
10:37to arrive this evening
10:39to Mindoro, Romblon,
10:41Aklan, Capis, and others.
10:43Leigh is one of them
10:45who is in a hurry.
10:47It's really hard
10:49when you don't have a mother.
10:51But everything is there.
10:55Now, it's better.
10:57It's not hard anymore.
11:00To clarify,
11:01according to the complaint
11:03of the delivery truck driver yesterday,
11:05there are people who are being chased
11:07in the queue of vehicles
11:09for Roro's ride.
11:11Roro's space is being filled
11:13by vehicles that are big
11:15and can balance the load.
11:17It's really hard
11:19when big and heavy vehicles
11:21are passing by.
11:23The master of the vessel
11:25can see that
11:27to maintain the balance of the ship,
11:29even if you are the next one,
11:31because of this stowage plan
11:33on safety.
11:35The fuel tanker is still full
11:37because of the storm.
11:39The ship is being processed
11:41and its underwater survey
11:43has been submitted
11:45to the Philippine Coast Guard.
11:47The ship was not brought
11:49to the coast.
11:51The turnaround
11:53or the actual loading and unloading
11:55of the ships is not long
11:57due to the number of passengers
11:59due to the shortage of time.
12:07Pia,
12:09the weather here in Batangas City
12:11and the 24-hour operation
12:13of Batangas Port
12:15for the passengers who are still being chased.
12:17Live from Batangas Port,
12:19I am JP Soriano, your
12:21Saksi.
12:29you
