00:00Let's be together, Taksi!
00:15Before leaving the country, the super typhoon Pepito hit the large part of Luzon.
00:22Aside from the strong rain, wind, and typhoon, it also caused landslides.
00:27In Nueva Vizcaya, seven people lost their lives and their houses were swept away by the landslides.
00:33Witness, James Agustiz.
00:39Almost a whole house was swept away by the strong winds of yesterday.
00:52Along with the strong winds, the strong rain, and the typhoon Pepito,
00:57it also caused landslides in Dipakulao, where the typhoon had its second landfall yesterday.
01:12Some places in Nueva Ecija were also cut off.
01:15The wind moved the ride to a ferry station in Bungabut, as well as tents around Tinangay.
01:22The strong winds and rains in Cabanatuan City lasted until the evening.
01:27Earlier this morning, some residents were still trying to escape because some places were submerged in the flood.
01:32The flood was fast. You just have to turn around and the water is already there.
01:37The residents' houses were flooded.
01:39A wide-angle drone video was captured earlier this morning.
01:42Seventeen barangays were affected, including the barangay of Rizdalizat Isla.
01:48The water inside the house was overflowing. It's really hard, sir. It's a sacrifice.
01:54And because the flood reached its peak, some people used boats.
01:58This is the part of the river that is still submerged in the flood because of the overflow.
02:03Here, the water level has already reached its peak.
02:07But if you go through here, especially the entrances to the houses, the water level is higher.
02:14Samira passed through the windows of her house and was escorted by rescuers.
02:18I can't do anything. I can't get out.
02:19From upstream, the volume of water will be saved for three to six hours so that the water level will go down.
02:28In Nueva Vizcaya, the wind blew some trees.
02:32Some animals were not saved.
02:34Because of the heavy rain, there was a landslide in the house of Ambagyo.
02:39Seven people were on their way home.
02:41According to the PDRMO, one family was on their way for eight years and some were minors.
02:47Because of the heavy rain, the land became desaturated.
02:57Earlier this morning, there was also a landslide on Canon Road.
03:00That's why the land and stones fell on the road.
03:05Yesterday, Canon Road was closed to motorists.
03:08That's why no one was injured in the landslide.
03:09There is an ongoing tunnel to totally prevent the rockfall.
03:18There is already one.
03:20And another is ongoing in the lower portion.
03:26There was almost zero visibility in Baguio City because of the heavy rain.
03:31The authorities in the Lagoon City Camp were on guard because of the heavy rain.
03:36That's why the residents who live nearby were worried.
03:39I'm nervous, ma'am.
03:41What did you pray for last night?
03:43Of course, the landslide will stop.
03:46We can go home.
03:48Some tourist spots in Baguio were closed yesterday.
03:51But they were reopened today.
03:53Because of the heavy rain and the loss of water,
03:55many houses were flooded in Isabela.
03:57Most of the houses that can be seen are in ruins.
04:00It's possible that the landslide was worse than that of Sierra Madre.
04:04It's helpful.
04:05Another factor is that the moisture enhanced by the landslide
04:18will be reduced if we compare it to when it was in the sea.
04:22According to the Office of Civil Defense,
04:24Black Hawk Helicopters flew to the Philippine Air Force
04:27to investigate the cause of the landslide and provide relief operations.
04:31For Germany Integrated News,
04:32I'm James Agustin, your witness.
04:36The landslide in Bicol Region,
04:38especially in Catanduanes,
04:40saved the lives of many people.
04:42Some places there are having a hard time getting electricity
04:45and communication signals.
04:47From Verac, Catanduanes,
04:49this is Joseph Moro.
04:51Joseph?
04:53Ma'am, there's still no electricity in many houses here in Verac, Catanduanes.
04:57And the signal of telecommunications companies is very weak.
04:59But despite that, even though the landslide landfalled here,
05:03the province reported zero casualties
05:06because they had a pre-emptive evacuation.
05:16The wind is very strong.
05:19It's like there's no end to the rain.
05:22That's how the typhoon in Capitula
05:25showed the landslide of a super typhoon.
05:35It was only early in the morning
05:37when this landslide hit the sea in Camarines Sur,
05:40where the waves are rising.
05:44The water level is rising.
05:46The water level is going down.
05:48When the water level rose to the ceiling in Albay,
05:50the residents of Talindagat
05:52hurriedly brought their equipment and vehicles.
05:56They even brought a boat
05:58that was anchored in the chapel.
06:05Almost immediately,
06:07this fire truck hit the road in Verac.
06:14The landslide in Albay also caused landslides.
06:18While in Vinzons, Camarines Norte,
06:20several houses were destroyed
06:22and the houses were submerged in water.
06:25In Dayt, Camarines Norte,
06:27the military camp evacuees
06:29fled again after it was flooded.
06:33In Catanduanes,
06:35the super typhoon did not calm down
06:37even at night.
06:40The province of Panganiban
06:42was particularly affected
06:44when the super typhoon first landfalled.
06:46A wide canal overflowed
06:48and almost 500 houses were destroyed.
06:51The typhoon Pepito and Kizami
06:53brought down the operations center
06:55in the town of Viga.
06:57The canal overflowed
06:59with churches and several houses in the town.
07:01Some roads were also flooded
07:03and trees fell.
07:05This police station
07:07in the town of Bagamanok is also being closed.
07:09The roofs of churches
07:11and covered courts
07:13were covered in strong winds.
07:15Just like the trees on the road,
07:17water poured on the roof.
07:20On the left and right,
07:22the abandoned prison
07:24in the town of Caramoran.
07:26This covered court
07:28was completely destroyed.
07:30In the town of San Andres,
07:32while the police were inspecting,
07:34a nurse helped the children
07:36inside their house.
07:38The mother was immediately taken to the hospital
07:40and they were in good condition.
07:42In the town of Igmoto,
07:43the next typhoon came.
07:45In the town of Virac,
07:47some evacuees went home early,
07:49but some stayed because
07:51they couldn't go home anymore.
07:53Pinsala is wide and deep,
07:55but the residents will still get up
07:57because some were not able to go home
07:59on the island.
08:01According to the Capitol,
08:03the preemptive evacuation was successful.
08:05The barangay officials,
08:07police, coast guard and other agencies
08:09helped evacuate
08:1170,000 individuals.
08:13DSWD,
08:15US,
08:17PAP.
08:19Of course, our President,
08:21BBM,
08:23for sending
08:25aid.
08:27They really helped
08:29so that we can have a safe home.
08:31But there are still many challenges
08:33including the return of electricity
08:35that will take a long time
08:37due to the number of fallen posts
08:39and broken fences.
08:41In the town of Virac,
08:43it will take at least a week
08:45for the electricity to be restored
08:47and hospitals, airports and capitols
08:49will be the first ones to do so.
08:51The telecommunications companies
08:53have no signal,
08:55so the Department of Information
08:57and Communications Technology
08:59or DICT has free Wi-Fi and charging.
09:01While everyone is waiting
09:03to return to normal,
09:0545,000 family food packs
09:07were added to the 10,000 family food packs
09:09that were pre-depositioned
09:11before the typhoon.
09:13Secretary-General Alex Gatchalian
09:15was there.
09:17We talked to the Governor
09:19to wait for the list
09:21from the provincial government
09:23so that the DSWD can prepare
09:25the cash assistance
09:27for the broken homes.
09:29Parallel to that,
09:31we coordinated with DOLE
09:33and DISUD
09:35because the province
09:37has requests to mobilize
09:39because it's a human livelihood
09:41but at the same time
09:43it's also a help
09:45in restoring the operational
09:47of the Tobacco Port in Albay
09:49from where the migrants
09:51from mainland Luzon will come.
09:53Here, my team reached
09:55the three-day stranded
09:57because of the Pepito typhoon
09:59just like those from Manila.
10:01That's why they are worried
10:03about the migrants in Catanduanes.
10:05Our house is destroyed
10:07and our livelihood
10:09is not okay anymore.
10:11Maybe it's a new disaster.
10:13Our kitchen
10:15was washed out.
10:17How?
10:19I don't know how.
10:21I don't know how.
10:28According to the provincial government,
10:30we need to provide food
10:32especially in the northern part
10:34of Catanduanes,
10:36in Karamoran and Panganiban.
10:38Tomorrow,
10:40the GMA Kapuso Foundation
10:42will provide assistance
10:44for our people here in Catanduanes.
10:46Pia?
10:48Joseph, you said in your report
10:50that there are many houses
10:52in Panganiban, Catanduanes
10:54that are almost full.
10:56Does this mean that
10:58most of those families
11:00are still staying
11:02in evacuation centers?
11:04And if so,
11:06will the DSWD provide enough
11:08cash assistance
11:10for those families?
11:12Those in evacuation centers
11:14will go home
11:16if they are in the province
11:18and their houses are not damaged
11:20like here in Virac.
11:22But those in faraway places
11:24like Karamoran and Panganiban,
11:26even if their houses are destroyed,
11:28they are still staying there.
11:30The DSWD arrived here
11:32Secretary Rex Gatchalian
11:34and is also preparing
11:36a list of affected residents
11:38for financial assistance.
11:40For example, in Batanes,
11:42they provided iron
11:44and wood.
11:46But I think here,
11:48we will know tomorrow
11:50what additional assistance
11:52the national government will provide.
11:54The DSWD first said
11:56food packs.
11:58But usually, they provide
12:00iron and wood.
12:02Thank you, Pia.
12:04Thank you very much,
12:06Joseph Moro.
12:08And two policemen were killed
12:10while four were injured.
12:12This is Efren Mamak
