00:00For the update of the Christine typhoon, we will now call on Director Edgar Posadas, the spokesperson of the Office of Civil Defense. Director Posadas, good morning.

00:10Good morning Igor. Good morning to all of your viewers and listeners. Good morning.

00:15In your report yesterday, there were 12 deaths. Has this been validated or has it been added?

00:22As of now, we have a new CTREF that will be released around 8 p.m. But for validation, for official records purposes, we have a base of seven.

00:37The Igan that we gave yesterday when Ivan was there, it's a running total. In fact, it's ten. Ten and nine missing.

00:45But our calibration for CTREF, of course we will release a new one at 8 p.m. It's seven. One from Calabarzon and six from Region 5.

00:58We have seven missing Igans. One from Region 1, one from Calabarzon and five from Region 5.

01:04Okay. The PNP said that there are two, although they will still be verified, all of them are victims of floods, Director?

01:16That's right. We have already talked to General Gene Fajardo about this. Especially after the time of Karina when there was a discrepancy.

01:29Actually, it's not a discrepancy because their report will be our basis for validation. Eventually, they will be tied based on our experience.

01:39That's why there's a validation. Actually, it's complimentary. It's good because we can see that they have initial data that once validated,

01:51eventually they will be tied, especially attributable to the disaster, to Christine.

01:58To our telethon here, Director, we are asking for help and rescue. How many more places will be difficult to enter?

02:07You can explain. The help is only there, but it cannot be delivered to them.

02:13That's right. Earlier, we talked to our regional director in Region 5, Director Yukon. She gave a report that it's still difficult because it's still flooded.

02:37This is almost a whole pickle. It's still in Catanduanes, Albay, Camarines Norte, especially in Camarines Dorser. That's what we're trying to reach now.

02:53We have a report that our C-130 is taking off. The first C-130 departed at 6.49 a.m. because the weather got better.

03:13They are bringing generator sets, connectivity for the internet, SAR operators, search and rescue operators, rescue boats, without board motors.

03:28I know there's another one that will follow. It will continue so we can deliver equipment and people so we can reach those we haven't reached yet.

03:40Our augmentation of relief items and non-food items will follow. That's what's needed. There are two this morning.

03:51Director, the possibility of airdrop. Is it difficult for us to use in Impapawi because of the bad weather?

04:01I'm not an expert on that, but what's certain is that we can bring better equipment to them and we will try to deliver it to them.

04:13Okay. Thank you very much. Be careful Director Edgar Posadas, spokesperson of the Office of Civil Defense.

04:18Thank you Igor. Good morning.
