01:11Because their house may be destroyed by the strong winds.
01:15We will go home, ma'am, because the river is big.
01:18Even though the palayans in Rojas, Isabela were submerged in the river,
01:22a fisherman was still able to swim in a boat in Gamu, Isabela, so that the family can have food.
01:30Some residents of different towns in Isabela also fled early.
01:35Because the strong winds are strong, and it is not safe at home.
01:42I have a baby.
01:45In Dagupan City, the strong winds are felt, so it is no longer safe for some fishermen to go out.
01:53I am very nervous because I am looking for them.
02:00I don't want anything bad to happen to them.
02:04The authorities also strictly prohibit swimming in the sea.
02:08Please do not go to the sea here in Pangasinan, so that we can avoid the disaster.
02:15In Linggayen, Pangasinan, it seems like the coconut trees are dancing in the baywalk
02:20because of the strong winds that are felt there.

02:44The Spillways of Adalam Dam is now open.
02:48The Bustos Dam in Bulacan also lost water.
02:51This was done as a preparation for the next possible flood.
02:56In the briefing of President Bongbong Marcos with other government agencies,
03:00he ordered the loss of water in the dams to reduce the possible flooding.
03:05Maybe what we can do is do a measured response.
03:11Even if the water level is not high, we should release a little.
03:17We should lower the water level so that the downstream communities are not affected.
03:24We should release water so that when heavy rains come,
03:29we can lower the water level.
03:33At 3 p.m. earlier, the San Roque Dam lost water.
03:38At 6 p.m., the Ambuklao Dam.
03:40The Binga and Magat Dam also lost water.
