00:00The local governments of areas in Batangas that were severely affected by Christine

00:05continue to cope with the situation as best they can.

00:09Suns, electricity from the grid, unfortunately for some of the residents,

00:13the weather disturbance has also robbed them of loved ones

00:16as the death toll in Agoncillo has already reached nine.

00:21Noel Talacay has more.

00:25After the onslaught of Tropical Storm Christine in some parts of the country,

00:29the roads in the province of Batangas had to be closed to traffic.

00:33Like the bypass road of Barangay Malinis in the town of Lemery,

00:37where the road turned into a parking lot for a tanker truck.

00:41Even motorcycles had difficulty passing through.

00:44Yesterday, when I arrived here, it was already raining.

00:49There was a bit of a fear that we would get flooded here.

00:56Besides this, electricity and connectivity were also a challenge to the residents of Batangas.

01:02Like in Agoncillo, the residents flocked to their municipal hall to recharge their gadgets.

01:09We recharge our cell phones, power banks, lights, and electric fans that are small.

01:17Some residents working from home stayed outside the municipal hall

01:22and waited diligently just to be present for work.

01:25I'm still a new employee, so I still need goods for my attendance.

01:30Because I might not be regular if I don't continue here.

01:34The local government of Agoncillo confirmed nine deaths of residents

01:39due to Typhoon Christine.

01:40Two unconfirmed casualties and seven missing persons.

01:45Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, or DSWD,

01:49assured the families severely affected by the Typhoon Christine

01:53will get aid under the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations programs, or AICS.

01:59Under AICS, we are providing medical assistance and burial assistance.

02:04The provincial government of Batangas is speeding up the road clearing operation

02:08to ensure the delivery of the social services and assistance

02:12coming from the national government will not be hampered.

02:15Noel Palacay from the National TV Network, for New and Better Philippines.
