00:00The typhoon Pepito also hit Baguio.
00:03That's why landslide-prone areas are being monitored there.
00:06And live from Baguio City, we have the first news,
00:08with Darlene Cai. Darlene?
00:14Susan, it's getting lighter, but the rain continues here in Baguio City.
00:18But in the whole of Magdamag, the rain and wind are strong.
00:21That's what we experienced here.
00:23Last night, the typhoon Pepito hit Baguio City.
00:32The rain and wind are strong and continuous.
00:37Baguio PNP gave free rides to stranded passengers.
00:42The local government was on a red alert all day long.
00:46The CDRRMO evacuated residents living in landslide-prone areas.
00:51The possibility of landslides is a concern,
00:53especially since the typhoon came one after the other.
00:57Our first concern is the over-saturation of our land.
01:02That's really our problem.
01:04Luckily, we have breaks of two to three days.
01:09Unfortunately, if it continues like this until the year-end,
01:13we're looking like four to five barangays.
01:17That's what we're most concerned about.
01:18Dominican Mirador is one of those places.
01:21That's why the residents were asked to evacuate.
01:24We are encouraged to evacuate temporarily.
01:28Our evacuation centers are open.
01:31If they don't want to evacuate, we can enforce forced evacuation.
01:35The local government also encouraged the residents to evacuate,
01:39like Barangay Lower Rock Quarry, which is being monitored by the City Camp Lagoon.
01:46An early warning device was also tested in the area.
01:49Public parks that are known as tourist destinations are currently closed.
01:54My advice to the residents who want to come here,
01:58don't do it now.
02:00Avoid the Kenon Road first.
02:04If you want to come here, use the Marcos Highway and Naguilian Road.
02:09Classes in all of Antasabagio City are also suspended today.
02:16Susan, I'm here at Bernham Park.
02:20Usually, at this time, there are a lot of people here.
02:24A lot of people are walking and exercising.
02:26But as you can see now, there are no people here.
02:29Except for those who are walking one by one.
02:32There are also barriers here.
02:35According to the announcement of Baguio LGU yesterday,
02:38Bernham Park and other public parks and tourist destinations
02:42are currently closed.
02:44Meanwhile, according to the initial assessment of Baguio City RRMO,
02:50there are 20 families who evacuated to the whole city
02:54and are currently in evacuation centers.
02:56That's the first news here in Baguio City.
02:58I'm Darlene Kaye for GMA Integrated News.
03:02Darlene, you mentioned that the areas are saturated
03:06because of the following typhoons.
03:08Are there areas where landslides occurred?
03:17Susan, earlier, I talked to the members of the CDRRMO.
03:21According to their initial assessment,
03:23landslides and floods have not yet occurred here in Baguio City.
03:28But of course, they will continue to monitor the situation throughout the day.
03:32Susan, when do you feel the rain and wind will stop?
03:39Susan, right now, the rain is pouring down.
03:43As in right this second, the rain will not stop.
03:49That's the situation since early in the morning.
03:53Unlike last night, where the rain was pouring down heavily,
03:56but now that the sun is shining, the rain has stopped.
04:00And even if it continues to pour, it will be weak, Susan.
04:03Okay, thank you very much.
04:04Take care, Darlene Kaye.
