00:22The worst is yet to come.

00:35In addition, the storm is slow and widespread and it will have a strong impact on the rainfall.
00:42According to DILG Secretary John V. Cremulia, based on the update given by the local government of Camarines Sur,

01:54Here is the message of the President.

02:22who are already pre-positioned in the affected regions.
