Transcript
00:00Let's talk about the situation of some Filipinos affected by wildfires in Los Angeles, California, in America.
00:07We will talk to Phil M., Ryan Coronel.
00:10Ryan?
00:13Hi, hello.
00:14Hello, Ryan. First of all, of course, we are praying for your safety there.
00:21Can you tell us what is the situation of your family at this time?
00:27My son is in the parking of Calabasas, which is around 2 miles from my place.
00:41And then, this morning, the government issued an emergency alert
00:48that all schools in Upper East Ridge were cancelled, all classes.
00:54And then, on Tuesday, they issued an emergency alert again.
00:59They told us to be ready for a mass evacuation because the fire spread so fast.
01:06Earlier, there was an evacuation, but it was not mandatory.
01:12If you want to evacuate, you should evacuate.
01:15Because the wind is going to the Pacific side, so not to the families.
01:23Okay.
01:24So, what you saw earlier, when I was evacuating,
01:29I left the tank of my car because, you know, for emergency purposes,
01:35we might all be evacuated later.
01:38The airplanes and helicopters are looking for water.
01:43They are trying to extinguish the fire.
01:47Yes.
01:49Okay.
01:51Yes.
02:05But as we speak, where you live, is everything okay?
02:17Yes.
02:18But if ever, do you have a place in mind to go to?
02:22Or did our embassy send you there?
02:25Where will you go next?
02:28Usually, when there is an emergency like that,
02:32they will give you a designated location.
02:37Where will you go to sleep?
02:39Yes.
02:40Do you have relatives who can talk to you from the Philippines?
02:47Yes, we do.
02:49They are okay.
02:52All right.
02:53Okay.
02:54Thank you very much for the update.
02:56And we pray that you will always be safe wherever you go.
03:01Thank you very much.
03:04God bless.
03:05God bless, Ryan.
03:06Take care.
