00:00Some residents of Batangas have just recovered from the storm but they need to evacuate because of the storm Pepito.
00:09And live from Batangas, Joseph Moro.
00:12Joseph.
00:15Ivan, just now, some residents of Laurel, Batangas were told to evacuate.
00:21The storm hit them just a month ago.
00:25Wait.
00:28In Barangay Poblacion 3, Laurel, Batangas, in Riwa Pasapaligid, the storm Christine hit in October.
00:34Trees and bushes were hit and flooded.
00:39The police are talking to the residents, especially the residents of Bugaan River, who evacuated.
00:45It's okay, for our safety.
00:48It's scary, if we don't evacuate, we'll end up in the river.
00:51Pre-emptive evacuation.
00:52Pre-emptive.
00:53It won't happen again like what happened in the storm Christine.
00:56This Bugaan Bridge here in Batangas was destroyed by the storm Christine when it hit the province of Batangas.
01:04Now, this Barangay Bugaan in Laurel is being guarded by the authorities for the possible effect of the storm Pepito
01:12because the residents are just recovering.
01:17The pontoons that served as the temporary bridge after the bridge was destroyed
01:21were first removed by the Philippine Coast Guard Southern Tagalog
01:24so that they won't bring water in case it floods again.
01:29It's only been a month since the storm Christine hit Batangas.
01:33Many houses have lands from the previous flood.
01:38In Rio Sawana, Calilicas, when the storm Christine hit, people flooded their houses.
01:43They are just cleaning up in case the storm Pepito hits again.
01:48We are just praying to God that it won't flood here in Calupat.
01:55So that we are all safe.
01:59They will continue with their family.
02:03In a school in Barangay Aziz, there are 40 families or more than 200 residents who will be affected by the storm.
02:14The province has now issued an alert.
02:17That's why the local government called on the residents to cooperate
02:21especially if the residents who will be evacuated need to be added.
02:25Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
02:28Trees were cut down in Eastern and Northern Samar
02:31due to the strong winds and storms of the storm Pepito.
02:34And from Tanman, Northern Samar,
02:36Femarie Lumabok of GMA Regional TV is live.
02:40Fem?
02:43Fem?
02:44Fem?
02:45From this morning until now, we have been experiencing rain and sometimes strong winds.
02:49There is still a strong storm in the sea of Northern Samar,
02:53particularly here in the town of Catarman.
02:59Around 8 a.m., the storm Pepito started to be felt in Eastern and Northern Samar.
03:05At 11 a.m. on Saturday morning,
03:08the effect of the storm Pepito was already felt here in the town of Palapag, Northern Samar.
03:14That's why, due to the strong rain and wind,
03:17some trees were cut down and were damaged in the road.
03:22In the town of Pambuhan,
03:24banana trees fell,
03:26as well as irons that served as backhoes in a construction site.
03:30Some palm trees were damaged in the road,
03:33which were blown by the wind.
03:35Some parts of Catarman lost electricity,
03:37but they were restored in the evening.
03:40Just last night, the DRRMO carried out a forced evacuation in Eastern Samar,
03:45especially in coastal and low-lying areas.
03:48According to Eastern Samar PDRRMO,
03:51thousands of families were forced to evacuate,
03:54just like in the town of Canavid.
03:56They were already here around 3 p.m.,
03:58because Barangay Rawis is a flood-prone area,
04:03and the coastal area is facing the Pacific Ocean.
04:09The animals were also evacuated.
04:12It's not safe here,
04:15and it's scary.
04:20If there's water,
04:23it will flood the road.
04:29In Northern Samar,
04:30more than 7,000 families were evacuated since yesterday.
04:34There were no landslides and floods in the province.
04:39Pia, due to the bad weather,
04:41the DRRMO is calling on the public,
04:44especially those who live by the riverside,
04:47not to camp out.
04:49Pia?
04:51Thank you very much.
