Katakot-takot na pinsala ang iniwan ni Bagyong #PepitoPH! Bago tuluyang lumabas ng bansa, kabilang sa 'di bababa sa 8 ang patay. Pero sa Catanduanes, kabilang sa bayan ng Panganiban kung saan unang nag-landfall ang bagyo nitong weekend, lahat nakaligtas! Gayunman, sa pagpasok doon ng GMA Integrated News, tumambad kung paano pinadapa ang mga bahay at establisimyento ng malakas na hangin, ulan at daluyong ng bagyo.

00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:05The typhoon Pepito left a terrifying trail
00:09before it continued to leave the country
00:11as one of the eight deaths.
00:15But in Catanduanes, as the home of Panganiban,
00:17where the typhoon first landfalled this weekend,
00:20everyone was saved.
00:22Now, with the entry of GMA Integrated News,
00:25we learned how houses and establishments
00:30were hit by strong winds, rain, and typhoon waves.
00:34And from Virac, Catanduanes,
00:36this is Joseph Moro.
00:39Joseph.
00:43Mel V. Kimmel, it's raining heavily here in Catanduanes.
00:48And Catanduanes is one of the places where the typhoon Pepito landed.
00:53And when it landfalled last Saturday night,
00:56it was like a tornado that was circling the province.
00:59But fortunately, there was no casualty here in the province.
01:08As Catanduanes hit,
01:10the typhoon Pepito seemed to be very angry.
01:13It came from a long journey to the Pacific Ocean.
01:18This strong wind was passed through all the places
01:23that were hit by continuous rain.
01:32Catanduanes, the home of Panganiban,
01:35was particularly hit by the typhoon,
01:37where the typhoon first landfalled.
01:39Next, the area of Pinzala was hit.
01:42Almost 500 houses were destroyed.
01:47In the town of Viga,
01:52the emergency operations of the town itself
01:55were hit by the typhoon Pepito.
02:00It was also difficult to pass through the houses
02:02because of the flood,
02:03which also blocked the roads.
02:09Many houses were also completely destroyed.
02:17The situation is also the same in the town of Caramoran,
02:19where on the left and right,
02:21Pinzala was left by the typhoon.
02:28This covered court was completely destroyed.
02:34In the town of Bagamanok,
02:35the typhoon Pepito did not pass through
02:37even the police station.
02:43The buildings of churches and covered courts
02:45were also destroyed by the strong winds.
02:51In the town of San Andres,
02:52while the police were conducting an inspection,
02:59a nurse helped the children inside their house.
03:02They were immediately taken to the hospital
03:04and were in good condition.
03:08While in the town of Dirac,
03:10it was almost clear that the waves
03:12were blocking the tracks on this road.
03:21After the typhoon passed,
03:23some evacuees returned early.
03:26But some remained because there was no way to return.
03:29Our house was completely destroyed.
03:31It could not be lived in.
03:34Our house was completely destroyed.
03:35It could not be lived in.
03:37As of now, our problem is that we cannot live here.
03:39We have to stay here.
03:41Pinzala is in ruins.
03:43But the residents will still get up together
03:46because there is no one left on the island.
03:49According to the Capitol,
03:50the pre-emptive evacuation was successful.
03:53The barangay officials, police,
03:55and the Coast Guard also helped
03:57to evacuate more than 70,000 individuals.
04:01I would like to thank the DSWD,
04:04the U.S., the PAP,
04:08and of course our President, BBM,
04:11for sending aid.
04:15They really helped us
04:18to have a safe home.
04:20But there are many challenges
04:22as well as the return of power
04:24that will last for a long time
04:26due to the large number of fallen posts
04:28and broken fences.
04:29In the province of Virac,
04:30it is possible to reach the island
04:32two weeks before the power is restored
04:35and hospitals, airports, and Capitolio
04:37will be the first to reach the island.
04:38The telecommunications companies
04:39have no signal,
04:41so the Department of Information and Communications Technology
04:43or DICT has free Wi-Fi and charging.
04:48While waiting for everyone to return to normal,
04:5045,000 family food packs have been added
04:54to the previous 10,000 family food packs
04:57that were pre-positioned before the power was restored.
04:59Financial assistance is also being prepared
05:01for those affected.
05:03DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian
05:05was there.
05:07We talked to the Governor
05:08and I will wait for the list
05:09from the provincial government
05:11so that the DSWD can prepare
05:13the cash assistance
05:14for the damaged houses.
05:16Parallel to that,
05:18we have coordinated with DOLE
05:21and DSUD
05:22because the province has requested
05:24to mobilize for action
05:26because it is a livelihood for the people
05:28but at the same time,
05:29they can help with the recovery effort.
05:32It will also help in the recovery
05:34of the recovery operation
05:35of the Tobacco Force in Albay
05:36where the refugees
05:38from the mainland region come from.
05:41Here, my team reached
05:43the three-day walk of the stranded
05:46because of Hurricane Pepito,
05:47just like those who came from Manila.
05:49That's why they are worried
05:51about the refugees in Catanduanes.
05:53Our house is destroyed
05:55and our livelihood is not good.
06:01Maybe it's a new disaster.
06:04Our kitchen was washed out.
06:08How?
06:09I don't know how.
06:11I don't know how.
06:19The rain continues to fall
06:21in Viracat and Catanduanes
06:23and when we entered our report,
06:25there was suddenly no electricity
06:26here in Virac.
06:28The only thing left
06:29is the electricity here in Capitolio.
06:31According to the local government,
06:33those who want to donate
06:35need family food packs, canned goods.
06:37Meanwhile, the GMA Capuso Foundation
06:39will also go here
06:40to provide assistance
06:41for our fellow citizens
06:42here in Catanduanes.
06:44Vicky?
06:45Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
