00:00Tonight, the storm Christine will feel even stronger, especially near the Bicol region.
00:08Now that the province of Albay is in a state of calamity,
00:12a forced evacuation is underway in several places in Camarines Sur.
00:17From the town of Pili, John Consulta is live.
00:22John, how is the situation there?
00:30Well, the mandatory evacuation has already started in several residences here in Camarines Sur
00:36while the storm Christine is getting closer and closer to the province.
00:45This is how strong the storm is in the dangerous Camarines Sur.
00:49The two spillways were flooded due to heavy rain.
00:52That's the only way for the residents there, so some barangays are now isolated.
01:00Heavy rainfall was experienced this afternoon in the province.
01:04Some canals in Naga City are already flooding.
01:07Some low-lying areas were flooded due to heavy rain.
01:12The canteens, shops, and houses of this resident in Pili were also flooded.
01:17It's really flooding. It's difficult, especially with the spirosis.
01:23And we can't do business properly like this.
01:27Are you affected?
01:28Yes, I'm affected.
01:29The Coast Guard also deployed to areas that are often flooded to assist in the evacuation.
01:35With the support of the province of Camarines Sur,
01:38they are willing to use their water assets to provide for the Philippine Coast Guard
01:43and the entire Camarines Sur will be accommodated by the Philippine Coast Guard.
01:48In the town of Baau, heavy rainfall was experienced due to heavy rainfall.
01:53Residents in flood-prone and critical areas in the province,
01:58such as Cadlan and Pili Camarines Sur, also started evacuating.
02:00Force evacuations were also ordered in some areas near the river,
02:04especially in the early hours of the day when the typhoon Christine was expected to approach the province.
02:09Our goal before 6 p.m. is to save all critical families
02:14so that by tomorrow, the CamSUR's goal of zero casualty will be achieved.
02:21The provincial government of Albaynon State of Calamity has already declared today
02:25that it will follow the various floods experienced in Oas, Pulanggi, and Maniliput.
02:31In Ginubatan, vehicles could not pass the road due to landslides.
02:37A house was also damaged.
02:42FIVOX is also warning of the possible wave from the Mayod Volcano that could cause heavy rainfall.
02:50According to the PDRMC of CamSUR,
02:58up to 1,300 families were evacuated from the province.
03:03They are still on duty because they are waiting for the 2 a.m.
03:09when the typhoon Christine will be felt.
03:13That is the estimated time when the typhoon will hit the province
03:18that is why everyone is alert.
03:20At this time, there is no electricity.
03:23A few minutes before the typhoon, there was no electricity in the area of CamSUR.
03:30That is the latest.
03:31Back to you, Mel.
03:32Yes, John.
03:33The forced evacuation has already been carried out in some places.
03:36Are there any residents who do not want to evacuate even if the weather is bad?
03:45You are right, Mel.
03:47Actually, this morning, the provincial government issued an order
03:52for pre-emptive evacuation in some towns,
03:55especially those near Bicol River where it usually rains when there is a typhoon.
04:00But there are residents who still do not want to evacuate
04:04because the provincial government issued an order for mandatory evacuation.
04:10And earlier, Mel, their target is that at 6 p.m.,
04:14the residents who are in critical areas should leave
04:19and we will update you later if this is fulfilled
04:22and we will monitor the development of this part of CamSUR, Mel.
04:28Yes, we will keep you updated.
04:31Thank you very much, John Consulta.
