00:00A landslide is expected in the Cordillera region due to the continuous rainfall caused by the typhoons
00:06as well as the small-scale mining being monitored.
00:11This is Jorton Campana of PTV Cordillera in the center of the news.
00:17Because of the continuous typhoons, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau noticed that the soil is saturated or softened.
00:25This is why there is a high chance of soil erosion in the Cordillera region due to the recent typhoons.
00:31According to the MGB, more than 10,000 barangays in the region are affected by landslides and floods,
00:38the most in Benguet with 239,
00:41the second largest in Abra with 174,
00:44Ifugao with 156,
00:47Mountain Province with 129,
00:49Apayao with 124,
00:51and Calinga with 104 barangays.
00:54This is why the MGB is appealing to stop all small-scale mining activities in the Cordillera region
01:01now that the weather is getting worse.
01:03We advise them not to enter their areas of work
01:09because we cannot say that the weather is really affecting their areas of work.
01:18In Benguet, landslide hazards were declared
01:22because of the continuous operations of small-scale mining.
01:25Mayor Bernard Joaquin ordered the miners to stop mining
01:30to avoid any incidents.
01:33The barangay officials and the police were ordered to monitor the safety of the residents.
01:39All of these are responsible for their small-scale work.
01:43I hope they will be careful.
01:45Also, I hope they will not enter their areas of work because we know that there will be two or three typhoons.
01:51So, I hope they will not enter their areas of work.
01:54In Barangay Virac, a part of the mountain was hit by a typhoon.
01:59Stones fell that affected several houses and nearby schools.
02:04Residents were careful to remove the stones and to dig a hole in the river
02:11to avoid further damage.
02:13Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development continues to distribute aid
02:19to the families affected by the next typhoons.
02:23The agency has already given more than 2.30 million pesos of humanitarian assistance
02:29and more than 94 million pesos of their available relief resources
02:34for the effects of the Typhoon Tipito.
02:37More than 8,000 families or 24,000 people were affected by the next typhoons Nica and Ofel.
02:45Almost 300 houses were also damaged by the typhoon.
02:49The DSWD Cordillera also receives donations from private individuals or groups
02:55that will be distributed to the affected households.
02:58Clothes, diapers for children, bottled water, hygiene and sanitation kit,
03:05sleeping kit, kitchen kit, and cash can also be donated.
03:09When it comes to disasters, our central office really gives
03:13to our Secretary-General, Rex Gatchalian,
03:19that there is a sufficient budget for the disaster.
03:23Because we all know that the Philippines is under the Typhoon Belt.
03:27Following the declaration of the State of Calamity in Apayau,
03:31along with the love fund Cordillera,
03:33their Calamity Loan to the members, especially those whose houses were damaged,
03:38is 5.95% of the annual interest rate of the agency's Calamity Loan.
03:43They can apply for a Calamity Loan.
03:46Since Apayau is covered by Region 2,
03:49they can go directly to our office in Tuguegarao.
03:54But since the love fund is filed anywhere, we can accommodate here in Baguio Branch.
03:59Because of the typhoon Pipito that is expected to pass through Luzon next week,
04:04the authorities will strictly remind the public
04:08to follow the regulations for a safe community.
