00:00Aurora has already contacted the province to force the residents to evacuate to places that are in danger of a storm surge.

00:09This is the center of the news of Benji Durango live. Benji, how are you?

00:16Patrick, I will update you on the current situation here in Valer Aurora.

00:19The strong wind is blowing.

00:22Just like now, we can feel it again.

00:24But the strong rain continues to fall here in the province of Aurora.

00:30At 2 o'clock, it is expected that a storm will landfall here.

00:33But just now, we can already feel the effect of the storm.

00:36Aside from the time, the residents have a hard head against the local government.

00:42Because there are residents who don't want to evacuate to places that are in danger of a storm surge.

00:46That is why the province and the LGU will work together with the police and soldiers to force the residents to evacuate.

00:59Several times, the siren of Valer LGU sounded.

01:02It was a warning when the residents were forced to evacuate to the coastal area.

01:05We were able to quickly evacuate Pauline and Marnell who came from Barangay Buhangin, just in front of the sea.

01:12We are being watched by the resort.

01:15They also brought other items to the evacuation center.

01:19What did you bring there?

01:20Just personal items, including food.

01:23You also brought food?

01:23Yes.

01:24So, you were the only one left there?

01:27Yes, my husband and my dogs.

01:29We left our dogs there because they might drown.

01:32Three coastal barangays in Valer were attacked by the MDRRMO this morning.

01:36A part of the sea is also being pierced by Barangay Buhangin and Barangay Sabang.

01:41That river is called Budok River.

01:44That's where all the water that comes from the population of Valer Aurora falls.

01:49Now, the problem of the LGU is that if it rains heavily here in Valer Aurora,

01:56it is possible for their population to drown.

02:00So, they came up with a solution.

02:04They are piercing this part of Barangay Buhangin.

02:08They are piercing the river so that all the water that comes from the river

02:11falls into the sea and the heavy rain that this typhoon brings will not fall.

02:19The problem is that this will isolate a barangay.

02:21There are residents there who don't want to evacuate even if we talk to them.

02:25Like Fernan, who is also in charge of a resort.

02:27He can't leave his job because he might be robbed.

02:29We just want to know if you can be evacuated or not.

02:34Because there are a lot of people who want to evacuate.

02:38So, we don't have a choice.

02:40We just have to pray, sir.

02:42It's hard.

02:45We just have to pray that nothing bad will happen here.

02:50But not only in prayer, the PDR-RMO is also hoping.

02:53That's why they want to force them to evacuate today with the police and soldiers.

02:58We have a PNP there so that we can go.

03:00So, what you will do is to force them to evacuate.

03:03But how do you force them? How do you want us to know?

03:06It's up to the police.

03:09First, we have to talk to them.

03:11If not, there's nothing we can do.

03:14Because the order of the President is a massive evacuation.

03:1960% of Aurora's population has been evacuated.

03:22That's equivalent to 5,568 families or 17,566 people from 8 cities of Aurora.

03:30Food and equipment that will be used for rescue and clearing operations are also prepositioned.

03:35The landslide-prone area is also a large part of the province.

03:38In the situation here in the mountains,

03:44it's possible because we coordinated with the province and DPWS

03:53that the equipment is already on standby.

03:58Battery zero casualty and no one will starve.

04:01This is the target of the province and the local government for their evacuees.

04:06Meanwhile, this is what they are experiencing right now.

04:09This is the strongest typhoon they will experience in 2020.

04:14Patrick.

04:16Thank you very much and take care.
