NewsTranscript
00:00A strong wind broke through a school in Barangay Santa Margarita in Bagao, Cagayan.
00:09Roofs were removed, iron bars were laid, and trees around were cut down.
00:16There was a landfall in Bagao earlier this afternoon at 1.30 p.m.
00:21The strong wind and heavy rain in Gonzaga were also felt.
00:27In Barangay Kalayan, the wind was almost as strong as the trees of Mio.
00:32The dams in Barangay Flourishing were also flooded.
00:36That's why the roads and houses were flooded.
00:40There was also a strong storm in Ilong Cagayan in Amulong.
00:44There was almost zero visibility in the town of Santa Ana because of the strong wind and heavy rain.
00:52Evacuation for some residents was also stopped.
00:56In Barangay San Vicente, evacuees came one after another.
01:00But there were not enough facilities to serve as evacuation centers for the 200 families who fled.
01:06Some of the classrooms were hit by a storm.
01:09We set up 25 individuals in the rooms.
01:14We set up 30 in the big rooms.
01:17But because it was not enough, some said,
01:21let's set up 60.
01:24Some towns in the province lost their power supplies.
01:27Cell phone signals were also difficult to reach in many places.
01:31The strong wind of the typhoon Ofez and the storm of Isabela were also felt.
01:35It was accompanied by heavy rain last afternoon at 2 p.m.
01:39That's why residents were evacuated to some barangays in the northern part of the town.
01:44They were accompanied by their pets.
01:47For the past typhoons, they were also in a tent near Cagayan River.
01:52Elisa, who lives in the middle of the forest, also fled.
01:55She was accompanied by her 11-month-old daughter and 6 siblings.
01:59My father brought us here because he was afraid that the tree might fall because of the strong wind.
02:08It was also experienced by the heavy rain that was accompanied by strong wind
02:13before the town of Ilagan collapsed.
02:16The wind was almost as strong as that of a resident.
02:20Residents near the river in the barangay of San Vicente
02:24are temporarily staying at the community center.
02:27Like Rose Marie, she is with her seven children.
02:30She has been in the evacuation center for four days.
02:32It's very difficult because there are children.
02:35Especially when the typhoon comes one after another.
02:39Maile's situation is also the same.
02:41She is with her children and nephews.
02:43We are still able to endure the hardship of life here in the evacuation center
02:49because the water level in our house is high.
02:52Because of the flood brought by the typhoon Nica,
02:55almost 50 houses were affected.
02:58That's why residents were not allowed to go home.
03:01It's different in our barangay.
03:03There are light materials and our part is a lower part.
03:07We are a flooded-prone barangay.
03:09For now, more than a family are in the evacuation center in the entire city of Ilagan.
03:14They were also evacuated to Alagang Baka and Calabao,
03:17which are near the Pinakanuan River.
03:19I brought my cow here so that I can get it.
03:22If the river grows, I will bring it here.
03:27I will raise it there.
03:32It was a gloomy and rainy season in Ilocos Norte
03:37past 11 o'clock this morning.
03:39The situation is the same in different parts of the province because of the Ophel typhoon.
03:43In many places, the effect of the typhoon is still being observed.
03:47The seawall of Barangay Poplacion 1 in Pinakanapinsala in Pagudpun is one of them.
03:51I used to build this road.
03:54But when the typhoon hit Mars,
03:56as you can see, the road was damaged.
03:59The cement was crushed.
04:01Even the seawall here in Barangay Poplacion 1 was destroyed.
04:05One of the residents of Pagudpun affected by the typhoon is Joselyn.
04:10Her 60-year-old house where she grew up was destroyed
04:14after the typhoon hit Mars.
04:16For now, they are preparing for the Ophel typhoon.
04:19It's really hard to live without a house.
04:23It's really hard to live without a house.
04:29We need help.
04:31We don't have a house to live in.
04:34We don't have a house to live in.
04:37I'm really sad.
04:42Not only the elementary school where they grew up was not safe from the typhoon,
04:47but also the reading centers and clinics.
04:50Even other parts of the school were hit by the typhoon.
04:53My heart is broken.
04:55All the children go to school here.
05:01After Mars, the students were not able to go to school because it's not safe.
05:07For two weeks, the students of Pasaling Elementary School were not able to go to school.
05:12That's why they were given mojos.
05:14Of course, Mars is strong.
05:16They said Ophel is stronger.
05:19We are afraid that our school will be destroyed.
05:25What can we do?
05:26Of course, the children are poor.
05:28The State of Calamity has not yet recovered from the typhoon.
05:33The problem is that the Calamity Fund has run out.
05:36There were promises and funds given by various agencies and high officials.
05:46What we are waiting for is the implementation of rehabilitation here.
05:54Our mayor is talking to the high officials to give us additional funds.
06:03DRRMO Police, Marangay, and EFB personnel are helping to evacuate those living by the sea.
06:10All those who are ready to evacuate, please go to the pick-up point.
06:16The vehicle of the Local Government Unit of Pagunpunpo is here.
06:21But the municipality still needs to look for other safe evacuation centers
06:25that have not been affected by the past typhoons.
06:28When this typhoon comes, we will have a chance.
06:32In Calasyao, Pangasinan, the officials of Barangay LASIP,
06:36which is one of the barangay houses there,
06:38some residents are already moving their belongings.
06:41Over there, it passed through our head, but here in our heart.
06:46The water level in Maruse River is also being monitored.
