00:00We will all be together in Saksi!
00:13Dear viewers, before Saksi, the typhoon Marse landfall twice.
00:18The second landfall was recorded at 9 o'clock in the evening around Sanchez Mira, Cagayan.
00:24And as of 8 p.m., the orange rainfall warning was raised in some parts of Lalawigan, Cagayan and Apayau and in Babuyan and Rutof Islands.
00:32Flood prone areas were flooded and landslides occurred in landslide prone areas.
00:38The yellow rainfall warning was issued in Batanes and in some parts of Apayau and Cagayan.
00:45The typhoon Marse landfall occurred in Santa Ana, Cagayan earlier this afternoon.
00:49The typhoon was also felt in other parts of Northern Luzon.
00:53Saksi, Sally Marefra.
01:01Strong winds and rains caused landslides in some parts of the police station in Santa Ana, Cagayan.
01:06Parts of the police station were hit by landslides, including the door.
01:09The debris around the police station was scattered.
01:12In Santa Ana, the typhoon Marse 314 landfall occurred earlier this afternoon.
01:19The town of Gonzaga was also hit by landslides, where many posts were destroyed.
01:24Cables on the road were also damaged and almost broken.
01:29Trees were also felled.
01:33The wind of the trees in Dalang Pasigan was also affected,
01:38which was accompanied by landslides in other towns.
01:44The houses and schools near the town were also hit by landslides.
01:48The waves are strong, ma'am.
01:49We are used to it, ma'am.
01:53The landslides came from several houses and establishments.
01:59The rains were also strong in Kamalan Yugan,
02:01which is why the water almost reached the so-called Mabanguk Bridge.
02:06Currently, more than 5,000 families are in evacuation centers,
02:10but there are still some who do not want to leave their homes.
02:13We are afraid to leave our homes, ma'am.
02:17The power supply of several towns in the province was also cut off
02:21while communication in Calaya was difficult.
02:25Strong winds were also blowing in some places in Ilocos Norte.
02:29Aside from the sudden rain,
02:31it seems that strong winds are pushing some vehicles in the town of Pasukit.
02:38This was also experienced in some parts of Pagunpud.
02:41Barangay officials are monitoring the strength of the waves.
02:47A seawall was also hit because of the strong waves.
02:51That's why the teachers in Pagunpud National High School
02:54are worried that the school's backwoods might be damaged
02:57because its soil is soft.
03:00Strong winds and heavy rains were also blowing in Baguio City,
03:04which is why there is zero visibility on the roads.
03:08Due to the Marseille Flood,
03:09the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office
03:12and barangay officials went to the landslide and flood-prone areas.
03:16We will leave if it's already a bit dangerous.
03:20The City Hall is monitoring the CCTVs and Eye in the Sky
03:23at the Smart City Command Center.
03:25They are also at the City Camp Laguna, which is also flood-prone.
03:29That's why all rescue and survival equipment are ready.
03:32Our responders, our last count yesterday, we have around 1,300.
03:39So this is a composite from the Barangay Disaster Council,
03:42from our BCPO, from our fire, and we also have volunteers.
03:49Despite the rains, Baguio is open for tourists.
03:53The booking is already paid.
03:56The bus and AirBnB is already paid.
03:59So even if there is a storm, go love.
04:02Because of the continuous rains brought by the Marseille Flood,
04:05despite the thick fog that we are experiencing now,
04:08this part of Cannon Road is already closed.
04:11Some motorists are allowed, but they need residents of Baguio City.
04:17The local government is urging motorists to go up Baguio
04:22that just passed Naguilian Road or Marcos Highway.
04:27Because there is a problem with the foundation.
04:30They are still testing the foundation.
04:33Maybe in two weeks, when they see that it's sturdy,
04:38then we're going to allow the passage of visitors.
04:44In Binloc, Dagupan City,
04:46the tip of Tondaligan Baywalk collapsed due to the strong waves.
04:51Bathing is prohibited in the nearby town.
04:54For now, they plan to put a steel sheet pile
04:57to strengthen their seawall protection.
05:00For GMA Integrated News, I am Salima Refrang of Inyong Saksi.
05:06Kapuso, the northern part of Luzon will also be affected by the Marseille Flood.
05:10Signal number 4 is high in the northern part of Cagayan
05:13along with Babuyan Islands, northern part of Apayau,
05:16and northern part of Ilocos Norte.

05:44in the remaining part of La Union,
05:46Pangasinan, in the remaining part of Ipugao,
05:48in the remaining part of Benguet,

05:52Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya,
05:54northern and central portions of Aurora,
05:56northern portion of Nueva Ecija,
05:58and northern portion of Zambales.
06:01Based on the forecast track of Pagasa,
06:03tomorrow morning, it is possible that it will be in the West Philippine Sea,
06:06and outside of the PAR,
06:08in the afternoon or evening.
06:10And based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather,
06:13the heavy rains will continue in the Batanes and Bubuyan Islands,
06:17Cagayan, Isabela, Apayau,
06:19Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur,
06:21and other parts of Cordillera.
06:24It will continue tomorrow morning,
06:26and there are still in Santa Ana, Cagayan,
06:28several parts of Isabela,
06:30as well as in Ilocos Provinces, La Union,
06:32Pangasinan, and Cordillera Region.
06:35There are also heavy rains in other parts of Centro Luzon,
06:37Calabarzon, Bicol Region,
06:39Mindoro Provinces, and Palawan.
06:41And in Metro Manila,
06:43the heavy rains can continue like yesterday and last night.
06:45It is also possible that there will be heavy rains
06:47in some parts of Visayas,
06:49and also in Mindanao.
06:52In other news,
06:53the return of the Edsa Bus Carousel,
06:56is also one of the solutions
06:58that the Transportation Department is considering
07:00for the problems of passengers
07:02who still use the Edsa Busway.
07:04Senator Sherwin Gatchalian
07:06commented that his brother
07:08owns a luxury vehicle
07:10that was found while using
07:12the number 7 license plate.
07:14Joseph Moro witnessed this.
07:20The driver of this controversial white luxury vehicle
07:22explained to the Land Transportation Office
07:24yesterday that he was sick
07:26and was in a hurry.
07:28That's why he entered the northbound lane
07:30of the Edsa Busway last Sunday night.
07:32But the CCTV footage of the MMDA
07:34showed that the traffic was not heavy
07:36outside the busway.
07:38The driver was fined P5,000.
07:40Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said
07:42that they are investigating the incident
07:44to find out if there is
07:46any additional compensation.
07:48The SUV used the protocol plate 7
07:50as a senator.
07:52According to the driver,
07:54the vehicle is now owned by
07:56the Oriental Safety Corporation,
07:58led by Kenneth Tan Gatchalian,
08:00a congressman in Valenzuela.
08:02He is a brother of Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
08:04Is he your brother?
08:06The documents are already in the LTO.
08:08Let's just leave it in the LTO.
08:10Is it possible that the plate is yours
08:12but your brother used it?
08:14Let's just leave it in the LTO, guys.
08:16In a statement,
08:18Gatchalian said that
08:20the traffic violation was not
08:22consensual by the Oriental Pacific Corporation.
08:24Senator Raffy Tulfo,
08:26chairman of the Senate Committee
08:28on Public Services,
08:30is planning to call for a hearing
08:32on the issue.
08:34The DOTR is studying
08:36some changes in the EDSA busway
08:38especially since it is becoming
08:40an obstacle for those who want
08:42to avoid the traffic in EDSA.
08:44One area is to reduce the number
08:46of protocol plates issued
08:48so that the plate
08:50is to be used only
08:52by the official.
08:54It is the decision of the SP.
08:56I think the SP
08:58will know the best.
09:00The Department of Transportation
09:02is also considering
09:04the EDSA bus carousel.
09:06For example, instead of
09:08the EDSA bus carousel of the northbound vehicles,
09:10they will make it
09:12to the south
09:14to avoid
09:16the traffic.
09:18The busway will be exclusive
09:20for the buses
09:22for public utility vehicles.
09:24The bus door
09:26will be on the right side.
09:28There will also be safety
09:30considerations.
09:32It will be easier.
09:34It will not be difficult for people to get in.
09:36If it is directed,
09:38the passengers will not
09:40have to worry.
09:42They are talking to the companies
09:44about the busway
09:46and they can decide
09:48if they will continue it
09:50before the year ends.
09:52For GMA Integrated News,
09:54I am Joseph Morong, your witness.
