00:24 They are experiencing heavy rainfall and heavy rains in the province.

00:29 Dayan, most of the residents of Barangay Igulot and Bunlo are just staying in the evacuation centers.

00:35 The rain continues and the water level is still high in their homes.

00:39 Like Nanay Rosario and Zenaida, they want to go home but they are more concerned about their safety.

00:47 Because they did not raise the flood level in their area.

00:51 It's raining. We cannot go out because the water level is high.

01:00 We will stay here until the flood level in our area is low.

01:05 I would like to stay here because we might be stranded in our area.

01:16 According to the local government of Bukawai, they are receiving no daily ration.

01:21 However, they still have some needs.

01:24 Especially for the children and the adults.

01:27 Water, food, for the children, biscuits, milk.

01:33 Because other parents, even if they have money, they cannot go out because the flood level is high.

01:40 Dayan, the local government is ensuring the safety of the residents of Bukawai.

01:47 The situation in the two evacuation centers of Bukawai is good.

01:53 There are people from the regional health unit, RHU, who are going around to check the situation of the evacuees.

02:02 While they are being given vitamins by the DSWD and the local government.

02:10 We can also add that 24/7, the people of MDRRMO and the rescue units of Bukawai are deployed here.

02:17 So that if there is an incident, they can immediately run to the nearest hospital.

02:23 And also to meet the other needs of the evacuees.

02:28 Joshua, it's good that the government is helping the evacuees.

02:33 But what is the estimate of the authorities?

02:35 How long will they be in the evacuation centers?

02:38 How many days will they need before the flood reaches Bukawai, Bulacan, Joshua?

02:45 Yes, Dayan, it's good that you asked that.

02:51 We asked the local government here in Bukawai, Bulacan.

02:54 They said that normally, they stay here in the evacuation centers for 3 to 4 days.

02:59 They can return to their homes.

03:01 But now that the flood has reached, they cannot say how long they will stay here.

03:08 Because this is the 6th day that the evacuees are here and are always here.

03:13 Thank you very much for the update. Joshua Garcia, reporting live from Bulacan.
