00:00The Philippine Area of Responsibility is now out, but it is possible that the Ophel Flood will return.
00:06And before that, it left a deep scar on Cagayan.
00:11The river was flooded and two villages were destroyed.
00:15And live from Gonzaga, Cagayan, this is Jasmine Gabriel-Galban of TV Regional TV.
00:23Jasmine!
00:26Vicky, at this time, the restoration of the damaged riverbed continues here in the area.
00:35The roofs were collapsed.
00:43And the facilities were destroyed.
00:45This is the effect of the strong winds and floods of the Nue Super Typhoon Ophel
00:49before it landfalled in the town of Baggao yesterday.
00:52This is a big problem because there is no way for the students to go back to school
00:57in Sitche Valley Cove in the barangay Santa Margarita.
01:03In the town of Santa Ana, many places were flooded again.
01:07So even at night, the authorities are still rescuing the residents who live near the river.
01:12A terrifying flash flood was also experienced in the neighboring town of Gonzaga.
01:17In the aftermath of the flash flood, the San Jose Bridge,
01:19where the other side of the river was destroyed,
01:22many vehicles were stranded on the road.
01:24A large piece of road was also scattered, which was believed to come from the mountains.
01:30In this drone shot of the Philippine Red Cross,
01:32it can be seen how many trees were washed away by the flood.
01:36The residents, on the other hand, were discarded one by one,
01:39so as not to affect their destination.
01:42Because the San Jose Bridge cannot pass through the town of Gonzaga,
01:45the residents are crossing the river to go to their destination.
01:51This is Mang Pedro from the town of Santa Ana.
01:54It's important for him to go to the town of Gonzaga
01:56because he needs to fix the damaged roof of his son's house.
02:00It's difficult ma'am.
02:01Yes, because?
02:02There are no vehicles coming here, so I just walked.
02:06The DPWH promised to fix the damage.
02:10The damaged roof was washed out.
02:14So I can assure that we can easily restore it.
02:20Because there are a lot of equipments,
02:22both private and DPWH, and I think even LGU.
02:28Within the day, I'm very sure, people will be able to pass through.
02:31We will fix this quickly.
02:33Aside from the damaged roof,
02:34a large piece of road was also left by the office of the fishermen.
02:38The problem now is how the farmers will be able to farm again.
02:41Just like their hectares of rice fields,
02:44pieces of land from the mountains are already overgrown.
02:48We were able to reach the middle of the overgrown pieces of land
02:51where this farmer is sitting while he's watching his one cow
02:56that was rescued from the flood.
02:58He's feeling very depressed.
03:00Four of his cows and three pigs died after the flood.
03:04Pieces of his rice fields were also overgrown.
03:07It's hard to explain ma'am.
03:09We have to take care of our livelihood.
03:11And the rice fields that were also overgrown,
03:15it's up to Conma.
03:17For now, the authorities are conducting a wide-ranging assessment
03:20on the extent of the damage caused by the flood.
03:22Meanwhile, because of the good weather,
03:24the farmers were allowed to go home.
03:26These farmers are from Barangay Palawig.
03:29They went home early in the morning.
03:33So you're going home now?
03:35Yes, ma'am.
03:36We'll check on our house, ma'am.
03:38But the weather is fine, right?
03:40Yes, ma'am.
03:41So it's okay?
03:42It's okay, ma'am.
03:49Vicky, for the moment,
03:51there are more stranded here in the area.
03:53But according to the DPWH,
03:55tonight, their target is to open the roads for motorists.
03:59Vicky?
04:00Thank you very much, Jasmine Gabriel Galvan.
04:02For JMA Regional TV, I'm Jasmine Gabriel Galvan.
