00:00Oh my God.
00:07Oh my God.
00:09I don't need to work.
00:11These residents are just so confused while watching the landslide on their houses in Zone 3, Barangay Borabod, Libon, Alvaiv.
00:21Less than 10 houses were damaged.
00:24No one was injured.
00:30In Libon, another house was found by Coast Guard Bicol, which was in charge of the rescue operations.
00:45Classes were suspended for all classes in the entire Luzon tomorrow.
00:50There will also be no entrance to government offices in the entire Luzon because of the heavy rain caused by Hurricane Christine.
00:57It was announced by the Office of the Executive Vice or the Executive Secretary.
01:05Before the landslide happened this evening until tomorrow morning in Isabela,
01:10more than a million individuals were affected by Hurricane Christine in different regions of the country.
01:16Three people were injured.
01:18For now, Aurora experienced a strong wind and rain.
01:22Katrina Zon has a live report.
01:24Katrina?
01:28Atom, at this time, we are experiencing a strong wind and heavy rain.
01:38Northern and Central portions of Aurora are under Signal No. 3, while Signal No. 2 is in the middle.
01:48At the same time of the heavy rain, the water level in the river in Isabela rose rapidly.
01:58I can't take it anymore, ma'am, because the road will sink.
02:03Some residents of Elagan City brought their pets and belongings to a safer place.
02:09Almost 400 individuals evacuated from different towns in Isabela.
02:15The wind is very strong. I have a baby.
02:17It is expected that this evening, Hurricane Christine will landfall in Isabela.
02:22Residents in the coastal town of Divilacan and Palanan were also evacuated because of the storm surge.
02:30In Dipakulaw, Aurora.
02:31I'm afraid of the wind. I don't want to die.
02:36The strong wind accompanied by the heavy rain experienced by the residents of Borlongan in Dipakulaw, Aurora,
02:43from last night until this morning.
02:46That's why the trees here in Papaya were cut and fell.
02:51Since yesterday, PMTV evacuated some barangays in Dinalunga, Kasiguran, Dilasag, and Dipakulaw
03:00as a precaution against flood and storm surge.
03:03They are the front line. Based on the track of hope, they are the closest to us.
03:13The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office in Pangasinan is also on alert
03:17in case some river systems flood.
03:20President Marcos ordered the government agencies to focus on the residents who are being rescued
03:26and in places that are hard to reach.
03:28Number one, from the AFP, airlift, because there are roads that are not yet accessible.
03:33As for the dams.
03:34We will lower it so that the downstream communities are not affected.
03:40So that when the heavy rain comes, we can lower the water.
03:47Earlier this afternoon, the water in San Roque, Magat, Ambuklao, and Binga Dam disappeared.
03:59Atom, 12 barangays here in Kasiguran, Aurora were submerged in a preemptive evacuation.
04:06As of 8 p.m. earlier, Atom, there are 116 families or more than 300 individuals.
04:13As for the outside evacuations or those who will sleep or stay with their friends or relatives,
04:20there are 87 families or 270 individuals. Atom?
04:26Thank you very much, Katrina Son.
04:29The Bicol Region was flooded by Hurricane Christine,
04:31where there was record-breaking rainfall.
04:34John Consulta has a live report. John?
04:41Atom, the weather is fine here in Naga City.
04:44But Hurricane Christine left a huge mess.
04:48It's a mess.
04:52That man backed up to the trees of Niob
04:54so that the flood would not affect the Navua Cabarita Zoo.
04:58He was rescued immediately.
05:02In the town of Pili, Todokapit, in Salbabida,
05:05a resident was rescued so that he would not drown in the flood.
05:08He was quickly rescued by a rescuer.
05:11Attack! Attack!
05:13Residents who escaped from the flood were also rescued.
05:18In Naga City, the flood reached the second floor,
05:21so some residents crossed the muddy road
05:24to go up to the third floor of their neighbor's house.
05:28A child was also rescued who was carried in a boat and some children.
05:33The flood also quickly reached a subdivision.
05:36The next day, dozens of cars were hit by a flash flood.
05:41Others were also swept away by the river.
05:43The river swelled and the fence was broken.
05:51Around 30% of the entire territorial jurisdiction of Naga was flooded.
05:59And around 70% of our population was affected or experienced flooding.
06:09First time.
06:10This is unprecedented.
06:12In the town of Bato, the sea level rose above the flood.
06:16Residents used boats because the houses were submerged.
06:20In Libon Albay, the flood also quickly rose,
06:24so some residents were carried up to the roof.
06:27It reached the second floor of their house.
06:30In Biak na Bato Bridge, in the town of Pio Duran, the flood reached its peak.
06:36While the flood was raging in the town of Oas Kagabi,

06:49cars were swept away.
06:52In Pulanggi, the man who was on the roof of the house almost reached the peak of the flood.

07:18The Bicol Region experienced severe flooding
07:21because according to the forecast, 300 to 500 mm of rainfall was forecast
07:27from last night until this morning.
07:30The Bicol Region experienced severe flooding.
07:34The flood was slow.
07:36Over the past 24 hours, the flow was slow.
07:39So it means that almost everyone was swept away.
07:50Atop was confirmed by Naga City LGU that they received a report
07:54of injuries and casualties in the Christine Flood.
07:58But according to them, they still need validation and confirmation from the PNP.
08:04Back to you, Atop.
08:06Thank you very much, John Consulta.
08:14In case of a flood or calamity,
08:17it is better to make sure that the drinking water is clean to avoid illness.
08:21Boil the water for two minutes,
08:24cover it while cooling it,
08:26and transfer it to the right container so that it won't be contaminated.
08:30You can also use chlorine tablets that you can get for free from LGUs and health centers.
08:37During his visit to the Senate hearing,
08:39Pastor Apollo Quibuloy was faced with the accusation
08:42by former members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ of abuse.
08:46Quibuloy's answer to Ian Cruz's report.
08:50After turning off the light, he embraced me and left me in shock and speechless.
08:56He then said, this is the fulfillment of God's revelation.
09:00You cannot say, I don't want, because if you say, I don't want,
09:04he said, you will go to hell, like things like that.
09:08The former members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
09:12experienced abuse in the hands of Pastor Apollo Quibuloy,
09:17a Ukrainian named Yulia Voronina, a former member of the pastoral ministry.
09:42In the middle of the night, he came to my room and had sex with me.
10:02One of the original members of KOJC is Teresita Valdehueza,
10:06who not only experienced sexual abuse,
10:09she also sought money to cover the expenses of the KOJC
10:14and to support the livelihood of Quibuloy and other officials of the group.
10:18The KOJC workers have a quota,
10:21and sometimes they receive 10 to 15 million pesos.
10:25We recruited and trafficked our young people from Mindanao and Visayas
10:29to Carrol in the provinces of Luzon and in the National Capital Region cities.
10:34Many students have been absent from school since November,
10:39and others have not been able to return to school because the Church prioritized them.
10:44There is no such policy in the Kingdom to have sex.
10:48No, there is no such truth.
10:51He was also raped and not fed for a few days because of the false accusations.
10:56The PNP is investigating that 200 women were raped by Quibuloy.
11:02He also has a private army called the Angels of Death.
11:13According to one of his former members,
11:16they kill to show their loyalty to Quibuloy.
11:20The Angels of Death is a group of his agents.
11:24They kill his family when they go out, when they have a lot of information.
11:28Quibuloy denies the allegations.
11:31His former members are free to fight him.
11:34He will also face and answer the accusations in court.
11:38This one is like trial by publicity.
11:41We don't have a resource person.
11:43No one came from us.
11:45Everyone came from the other side.
11:46Aside from the cases in the Philippines,
11:48Quibuloy also faced several cases related to sex trafficking in America.

14:38in the wake of the storm Christine yesterday.

14:50For the people,
14:51for the ethical treatment of animals Asia,
14:53it should be a priority
14:54to save the animals
14:56whenever there is calamity.
14:57If the abandonment cannot be avoided,
14:59make sure that the pets are in a high place
15:01so that the flood does not reach them.
15:03Do not leave them tied or trapped.
15:06And if possible,
15:07save the stray animals.
