00:00President Bongbong Marcos also ordered various government offices for rescue operations and assistance to those affected by the Christine storm.
00:11The President also ordered the removal of water from the dams in order to reduce the possible flooding.
00:18Ivan Mayrina was there.
00:24Because of the rain, the Christine storm was delayed until yesterday.
00:28Many places in Bicol Region were flooded, particularly in Albayat, Camarines Sur.
00:32In the briefing of President Bongbong Marcos with various government offices,
00:36DILG Secretary John Vicremulia said that 300 barangays in Camarines Sur or half of Lalawigan were flooded based on the status report of the LGU.
00:45The problem is that it is not such a strong storm but the effects are very wide.
00:54If you look closely, Bicol is far from the center of the storm.
00:59But I've seen the news reports, the water level is very high.
01:04Many places were flooded.
01:06In social media, residents who want to be rescued also joined the rescue efforts.
01:10According to the President, their priority is to reach the government's air, sea and land assets as soon as possible.
01:18We will be doing that.
01:20And we are now beginning to marshal our assets, like for example rubber boats.
01:25We will get it by midday and bring it to the area in need.
01:31The storm also has a wide impact on power lines.
01:34Most of them are there to kill the electricity for the safety of the residents.
01:39We are focusing right now on the Bicol region in the Naga City area, Iriga City area and Sorsogon area.
01:51Although there were transmission lines that were affected, we are left with one big transmission line.
02:00Only 230 kV needs to be returned and 6 lines of 69 kV.
02:1329 ECs are in partial power interruption and 6 ECs are in total power interruption.
02:21There are 970,814 affected consumer connections.
02:27The DSWD's stockpile of food packs is enough.
02:31They have already sent it to the areas affected by the storm.
02:34In areas that are hard to reach, the Armed Forces of the Philippines will use their forces.
02:38The Department of National Defense is already in Singapore.
02:42They will also ask for help from neighbors in ASEAN like Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei
02:47to help those in need.
02:49The President is using EDCA sites for this.
02:53They are prepared to provide, number one, from the AFP, airlift because there are roads that are not yet passed.
03:00Number two, the AFP is also continuing to monitor the situation so that we will be able to activate the EDCA sites
03:14which were put there specifically for this purpose.
03:17The DTI is reminding the price freeze to the main products in areas that are in a state of calamity, especially in Luzon.
03:24It is expected that the storm will pass Christine if most of the reservoirs are there.
03:28The President's order is to reduce the flood.
03:31Maybe what we can do is do a measured response.
03:36Even if the water level is not yet high, let's release a little.
03:43Let's lower it so that the downstream communities are not affected.
03:49Let's release water so that when the heavy rain comes, we can lower the water level.
03:59At 3 p.m. earlier, the water in San Roque Dam was drained.
04:03At 6 p.m., the water in Ambuklao was drained.
04:05First, the water in Binga was drained.
04:08For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrena, Katutok, 24 Hours.
