00:00Residents in Isabela are being forced to evacuate after the two gates of Magat Dama were opened.

00:07This is Isaiah Mirafuentes of PTV in Balitang Pambansa Live.

00:14The water level in many barangays in Tuguegarao City in Cagayan is still high,

00:20particularly if we are now in Barangay Centro Jez.

00:24The water level in Cagayan River is also being monitored, which is now at a critical level.

00:32The ghost town of the province of Isabela erupted.

00:35This was after the province was cut off by Hurricane Nika.

00:39The coasts and trees fell side by side.

00:43The houses lost electricity and the streets were dark.

00:48There was no electricity because from 9am until now there was no electricity so we are charging now.

00:54It's good that there are charging stations in some private establishments in the area.

00:59The Mobile Command Center of the Department of Social Welfare and Development also played a big role.

01:04The MCC went around to provide free internet and charging stations.

01:10The line of communication in many places in Isabela also fell.

01:15The barangays in Tuguegarao, Cagayan were flooded.

01:19The houses were only able to make a living because of the rising water level in Cagayan River.

01:25Residents are worried that the water level is still rising.

01:29The water level is still going down from the mountain of Isabela towards Cagayan River.

01:35The water level in Cagayan River has risen to 11.4 meters or a critical level.

01:41But the residents are used to it.

01:44This is the situation of the residents here.

01:46Even if they don't go to the evacuation centers, they are here in their homes.

01:51Let's talk to one of the residents.

01:54She chose to stay here.

01:57How is the situation here in Baguio?

01:59We are used to this situation because it's always flooding.

02:05It's like we don't have anything.

02:08The two gates of Magat Dama are currently open.

02:11The local government is now implementing a forced evacuation.

02:16The Department of Social Welfare and Development is surely ready to help the residents.

02:23According to DSWD, they are in the center of the President's mandate that no one will starve.

02:30We are ready.

02:32Like those who passed through Baguio, we responded to the needs of the LGOs.

02:38According to the directive of our President, Bongbong Marcos,

02:44he created a directive that everyone will be given,

02:49not only in evacuation centers but also outside the evacuation centers.

02:54The local government is also ready to provide relief goods to the residents.

03:02In fact, since yesterday morning, we haven't experienced rain here in Cagayan.

03:08But the Cagayan River is still rising.

03:12This is because of the water from the province of Isabela.

03:15Because they were the first to be hit by the flood and a lot of rain was poured on them.

03:19The water from Isabela is still coming down to the Cagayan River.

03:24And until now, Magat Dama is still missing.

03:27Two gates of Magat Dama are currently open.

03:29That's why the Cagayan River is still rising.

03:32That's why it's coming down to many barangays here in Tuguegarao City.

03:37We also talked to the mayor of Tuguegarao City last night.

03:41He said that there will be a forced evacuation in his city.

03:45But there are still residents who don't want to leave their homes.

03:50That's the latest from the province of Cagayan.

03:53Back to you, Aids.

03:54Thank you very much, Isaiah Miro Fuentes.
