Transcript
00:00 We will discuss the situation in Bulacan where many places are still flooded. We will talk to Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando. Good morning Governor.
00:09 Yes good morning Arnold. Good morning.
00:15 What is the declaration of State of Calamity in Bulacan?
00:22 Yes, actually we will have a meeting this morning with our Disaster Council and then after that, we will have a special session of the San Juan de Ampon La Brigante to declare the State of Calamity.
00:41 Yes. How many of our countrymen in Bulacan were evacuated Governor?
00:48 Actually Arnold, it reached around 15 and then it became 18. Those are the data that were evacuated. Actually that's the individual. But the family is around 5,000.
01:10 Is there anyone who returned to their home or is still in the evacuation center Governor?
01:16 I think they will return.
01:18 How is the flood? Are some places flooded?
01:23 Some places are flooding and it's really decreasing. Others are not. That's why it's decreasing fast. That's what's happening.
01:37 But there are places that are still stuck and not coming out.
01:44 The loss of water in Bustos Dam is one of the reasons why the water level is rising.
01:49 One day, they were angry with the engineer of Bustos Dam because it's about that.
02:02 They reported that they handled CMS and then they re-handled. That's what we should do. We are asking for it.
02:14 We have a preemptive measure. We should act immediately. The flood hasn't happened yet.
02:29 What happened is, the water level is decreasing. The CMS was 737.
02:43 That's too much.
02:46 That's too much. That's why when I showed the video, I was in the middle of it.
02:52 When I showed you the video, you can see that it's a strong flood. That's why I called the engineer.
02:59 Actually, in total, if you look at it, the flood is strong.
03:06 After the high tide, you can see that the volume from Bustos Dam is increasing. It's a strong flood.
03:18 That's why when I called, they reduced the flood to 300.
03:30 They reduced it to 300. The report said it was reduced to the same amount.
03:36 Something like that. According to our video, it was reduced.
03:41 I know what you're worried about. You're worried about the gates.
03:53 The problem is, the people of Anod. You're a plumber in Anod, right?
04:00 Yes.
04:02 You're from Anod, right?
04:04 Yes.
04:06 The problem is, the gates are still not working.
04:13 The gate number five was damaged and it was temporarily rehabbed. But the people of that area can't handle it.
04:24 The water reached the gate number five. It's already causing problems.
04:30 The gate number five is only rehabbed. The other gate is being removed. That's why it was done.
04:39 There's a difference. It's almost new. The gate number five was damaged.
04:47 That's one of their concerns. But if it's good and it was done before, and the tractor was hit, they won't be worried about such a big flood.
05:04 Will you return to the investigation to answer?
05:09 I will be in Congress later. I was invited to talk about four or five House bills regarding the resolution of the flood in Bulacan and here in LCR.
05:25 You will mention that.
05:28 I will mention that because I'm sure we will receive comments from the Senate and Congress. We will be in Congress later.
05:40 Do you have a message for the residents while they're still in the evacuation center?
05:47 Well, our continuous cooking and providing food, since the earthquake, we have been giving directives to provide food and cook.
06:03 We are bringing food to the evacuation center and other houses. Actually, that's thousands. That's a lot.
06:15 I can't handle it. We are fixing the data. I am fixing all the damages, everything, so we can declare a state of calamity.
06:31 We are fixing the relief that we will give to each family. We will start giving it this morning to Barangay Santa Cruz, because I will be going to Congress.
06:47 We will be providing food. This is a problem of the house. Our problem is over. We should not...
06:54 Bro, this relief can be temporary. Our concern is to find a solution, a permanent solution.
07:07 Okay. Thank you very much, Governor Daniel Fernando. Take care.
07:12 Thank you bro. Thank you. Long live.
