00:30Good morning to the evacuation center. Residents who fled to other cities in Nueva Ecija passed through Magdamag.
00:37Yesterday afternoon and last night, the typhoon Pepito hit here in the province.
00:49The strong wind and heavy rain brought by the typhoon Pepito was felt in the town of Bongabon, Nueva Ecija around 2 p.m.
00:57It was as if the trees were dancing, even the power cables.

01:05There were also tents that were damaged.

02:09This morning, we noticed that the number of people being evacuated is increasing.
02:15The number of people being evacuated is increasing because the water level in their area is rising.
02:23I'm James Agustin from Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, for GEMA Integrated News.
02:29James, you said that the number of evacuees going to the evacuation center is increasing.
02:37Is the supply enough for the people who are being evacuated to the evacuation center?
02:49Yes, Susan, we can say that the supply is enough.
02:51Aside from this covered court, classrooms were also opened here in the school so that residents won't have to wait in line.
02:59I noticed that some people were evacuated yesterday because the pre-emptive evacuation was carried out.
03:04However, some residents were only able to arrive this morning.
03:09They said that the water level in their area was only up to Bewang.
03:14But now, it's more than a thousand.
03:16James, if you know, is there a place in Nueva Ecija where there is still no supply of electricity until this time?
03:24Susan, until last night, we are trying to get the supply of electricity back to the people who were evacuated.
03:34In our province, Bungabon, there are parts where there is still no supply of electricity from 2 p.m. yesterday until last night.
03:43Thank you very much and take care, James Agustin.
