00:00In the past, when it rained and there was a typhoon,

00:02it was expected to flood the lower areas, right?

00:05But it's different now.

00:07It's flooding even the mountains.

00:09It's a bad omen.

00:10The floods are increasing

00:11because there's a severe drought.

00:26This is the town of Banaue in the province of Ifugao.

00:29Home to the world-famous Banaue Rice Terraces.

00:33Because it's a mountainous area,

00:34the area is landslide-prone.

00:41But what the people of Banaue didn't expect

00:44was the sudden flooding

00:47with heavy rain.

01:14when I went out to the store we rented,

01:18it was already flooded.

01:20We were stranded in the market.

01:22I was with my family there.

01:26Of course, we were scared.

01:27I thought,

01:28what if my family is in the house?

01:31The first thing I did was

01:33to call my aunt.

01:38She said,

01:39the house is flooded.

01:41I wanted to help,

01:44but we couldn't do anything

01:46because we couldn't carry

01:50the protection that was already there.

01:54Until the house collapsed,

01:57we couldn't walk.

01:59When we arrived at the house,

02:01I was so scared.

02:03Because when we arrived at the house,

02:08as soon as our belongings came out,

02:11I was suddenly scared.

02:14What if my family is inside?

02:16Are they still there?
