NewsTranscript
00:00In Aurora, where there was a landfall, the resorts were not safe due to the Nica typhoon.
00:06That's what some studies show.
00:08And from Kasiguran, please welcome Darlene Cai.
00:12Darlene?
00:17The northernmost part of Aurora is the most affected by the Nica typhoon.
00:21The fallen trees, the power outages, and the damaged houses were the effects.
00:27Not only here in Kasiguran, but also in the surrounding areas.
00:37In the early morning, the strong winds and rains were felt in Kasiguran, Aurora.
00:41A few minutes later, there was no more power supply.
00:46When the lights were turned on, the rain and wind became stronger.
00:50The strong winds and rains were felt here in Kasiguran.
00:59The trees behind me were falling down.
01:02All the trees that could still fly were flying out.
01:06That's why it was really dangerous to go outside.
01:08A school building's roof was also damaged by the typhoon.
01:13The strong winds and rains were felt here in Kasiguran.
01:15The roof of the covered court of Kasiguran Central School was also damaged.
01:20Before we came here, it was still intact.
01:24Even the chairs and tables here were also damaged.
01:29One barangay was quickly flooded.
01:32That's why the residents couldn't do anything if they didn't flee.
01:36In Dipakulaw, the rocks were scattered on the road from the sea.
01:40According to the barangay, the waves were 8 to 10 meters high.
01:46The strong winds and rains were also felt here in Dilasag, where the typhoon landfalled.
01:52A school building was also flooded.
01:54The trees were also cut off and the roofs were damaged.
01:56Not a single vehicle could cross the Ditubor River due to the flood.
02:01Because of the many fallen trees, it was difficult to get inside.
02:04There were also houses that were hit by the trees.
02:07The typhoon also destroyed some houses made of light materials.
02:10Some of the items were covered with wind and rain.
02:13I don't know what to do.
02:16I don't have anything to buy.
02:18My house is in ruins.
02:20Some resorts were also damaged by the typhoon.
02:23Some power poles were also damaged on the road.
02:26Due to the forced evacuation of people in different places in Aurora,
02:29particularly in Kasiguran and Dilasag,
02:31the typhoon was the most severe.
02:33More than 5,000 residents were evacuated in different parts of the province.
02:37Almost 70 of them were in the evacuation center of Barangay Marikit in Kasiguran.
02:42The LGU said that the relief packs were enough for the affected residents.
02:47According to the protocol, each town and municipality should provide their resources first.
02:55Now, when their resources are depleted,
03:00the province is here to help and support the needs of the whole province.
03:11Monitoring continues to help the areas affected by the typhoon.
03:20Currently, an assessment is being conducted by the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office
03:27to determine the magnitude of the typhoon that hit the province of Aurora.
03:32But for now, there are no reported casualties.
03:40Darlene, we saw in the footage that you took from this morning to yesterday,
03:44that the wind was very strong and the rain was very heavy.
03:47And the trees fell, just like the ones behind you.
03:51Have the clearing operations already started?
03:53Because you mentioned that there are some places that are difficult to pass through.
04:00You're right, Pia.
04:01There are places that were difficult to reach by the authorities earlier
04:06because of the fallen trees and posts.
04:08But we were able to see them moving around to carry out the clearing operations.
04:14And the fallen trees that fell on the road also fell one by one, Pia.
04:19So that means, Darlene, that there are no barangays or areas that are really isolated.
04:29Pia, there is a place in the other town of Dilasag
04:33where there is a big post that is blocking the road.
04:37That is the one that we cannot update or receive an update if it is already gone.
04:41Because earlier, when we came there in the afternoon,
04:44it was still there and only motorcycles and tricycles could pass through.
04:49And the residents could also walk.
04:51But for now, we are still waiting for the latest update about that.
04:56But in other towns or areas like here in Kasiguran,
04:59the roads are passing through freely, Pia.
05:03Alright, we will keep you posted. Thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
