00:00The province of Isabela and Cagayan is one of the places where the typhoon Mika hit hard.

00:06But on the other hand, the government agencies and local governments in the area

00:11are eager to help the residents.

00:14That's what Isaiah Mirafuentes has to say. Live, Isaiah.

00:20Dayan, since this morning, we haven't experienced rain here in the province of Cagayan.

00:25But until now, many barangays in the province are still flooded.

00:31It seems that the typhoon Mika left a big test for the province of Cagayan and Isabela.

00:40The ghost town of the province of Isabela erupted after the typhoon Mika hit hard.

00:47Trees and posts fell, there was no electricity, and the road was very dark.

00:53There was no electricity from 9 a.m. until now. That's why we're charging now.

00:59It's good that there are charging stations in some private establishments in the area.

01:05The Mobile Command Center of the Department of Social Welfare and Development

01:09provided a free internet and charging station.

01:12This is a big thing because the line of communication in the area also fell.

01:17Even though the Gukab River in Isabela and Cagayan is already flooded,

01:21it can't be crossed anymore.

01:23While in Cagayan, the Pinakanawan Bridge can't be seen anymore.

01:27When it floods, we have to go up.

01:30So that we don't have to carry heavy loads,

01:34we have to evacuate immediately because the water level has increased.

01:38The barangay centroje in Tuguegarao City is also flooded.

01:43Only houses can be seen because of the rising water level in the Cagayan River.

01:48Residents are worried that the water level has increased

01:51because the water level is still decreasing from the Isabela Mountain to the Cagayan River.

01:58At the moment, the water level of the Cagayan River is already at a critical level.

02:02It reached 11.1 meters.

02:06This is the situation of the residents here.

02:08Even if they don't go to the evacuation center,

02:11they are here in their homes.

02:13Let's talk to one of the residents.

02:16She chose to stay here.

02:19How is the situation here in Baguio?

02:21We are used to this situation because it always floods.

02:27It's like we don't have anything.

02:30How are you?

02:31It's okay. It's hot.

02:33The sun is hot and the water is cold.

02:36At the moment, the two gates of Magat Dam are open to drain the water.

02:41That's why the Forest Evacuation of the LGU is now underway.

02:45Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development

02:49assured that food packs are ready and sufficient to be distributed to the residents.

02:54Aside from food packs, hygiene kits, sleeping kits, and tents are also available.

03:00According to DSWD, they are in the center of President Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr.'s mandate

03:05that no one will be hungry.

03:08We are ready.

03:10Like those who passed through Baguio, we responded to the needs of the LGUs.

03:16According to the directive of President Bongbong Marcos,

03:22he made a directive that everyone will be given,

03:26especially not only in evacuation centers, but also outside the evacuation centers.

03:32The local government of Tuguegarawa assured that they are ready to provide relief goods to the residents.

03:41Dayan, I am now here in Barangay Centro Jez in Tuguegarawa City,

03:45in the province of Cagayan.

03:47Until now, the water is still deep here in their barangay.

03:51And if you direct this, Dayan,

03:53most of the houses here are just roofed.

03:56And the transportation used by the residents here

03:59is by boat to go to their houses.

04:03And the residents who talked to us earlier said that

04:06if we measure the depth of the water here in their barangay,

04:09the depth of the water is up to three people.

04:12And it is still possible for it to rise,

04:14because it is still possible for the water to rise in Cagayan River

04:17and for it to reach 12 meters.

04:19And we also remind our countrymen, especially during the rainy season,

04:22to avoid flooding because there are still many cases of leptospirosis.

04:27And that is the latest from the province of Cagayan.

04:30Back to you, Dayan.

04:32Thank you very much, Isaiah Mirafuentes.
