00:00Signal number 5 in the north east of the mainland of Cagayan due to the Super Typhoon Ophel.
00:06In the town of Santa Ana, there are residents who still don't want to evacuate.
00:10So how did we find out the situation there?
00:13In the on-the-spot coverage of Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
00:18Jasmine?
00:22Connie, at this time, this is the part where you can feel the effect of the Super Typhoon Ophel
00:26here in the town of Santa Ana, in the province of Cagayan.
00:30It's a part where the wind and rain are getting stronger and the waves are getting stronger in the town.
00:36But the problem, Connie, according to the local government,
00:39even though they are implementing a forced evacuation,
00:43the residents still don't want to evacuate.
00:46According to the MDRRMO, their target is to evacuate more than 1,000 families this morning.
00:53But only 8 families are in the evacuation center.
00:56The residents are determined to evacuate later this afternoon
00:59because they are still worried about the arrangement of their homes and their boats.
01:05As part of the LGU, they have called the PNP for the implementation of forced evacuation.
01:1116 barangays are currently being visited by the authorities to say that the residents have already evacuated.
01:17Aside from the heavy rainfall, the authorities have also warned of a storm surge and flash flood.
01:24Connie?
01:25Yes, Jasmine, how is the LGU convincing the residents to evacuate before the Super Typhoon lands?
01:36You know, just a while ago, Connie, the MDRRMO officials were with the PNP Santa Ana.
01:44They went to each house and talked to the families.
01:48They said that they need to evacuate.
01:51They said that no matter how strong the flash flood that hit last week,
01:57because of the Super Typhoon Ophel, they are expecting a stronger storm.
02:04That's why earlier, when the barangay officials went around with the police,
02:09they also included the children, the senior citizens, and the women who will be brought to the evacuation center, Connie.
02:17Yes, and we heard that there is a shortage of supplies for the evacuees.
02:24What is our report on that?
02:26Have you observed anyone complaining?
02:31Here in the town of Santa Ana, Connie, the food packs that are pre-positioned in different evacuation centers, in different barangays, are still sufficient.
02:45Actually, we came from the municipality earlier.
02:47The food packs that will still be brought to different barangays are still ongoing.
02:55But the request of the evacuees, Connie, is to bring the hot meals to the evacuation centers
03:02because it is difficult to cook when you are in the evacuation center,
03:06especially when there are a lot of people.
03:09The families in each evacuation center,
03:11that's why it's better to have hot meals that will be fed especially to the children, Connie.
03:17Thank you very much, Jasmine Gabrielle Galban of GMA Regional TV.
