00:00For some of the residents of Albay,
00:03how will they get up after experiencing the typhoon Christine?
00:08Some of them not only lost their homes,
00:10but no one will return to their lives.
00:12From the town of Pulanggi,
00:14we are live with John Consulta.
00:17John?
00:21Mayor, when we entered the road towards the province of Albay,
00:25we were struck by lightning when some residents
00:29experienced the typhoon Christine.
00:35Since it is not possible to take the national road to Bao Camarinesur,
00:39we took a two-hour detour
00:41on the alternate route of Buhi-Iriga Road
00:43to reach the province of Albay.
00:46We passed by the residents
00:48who were drying wet items on the road.
00:51One of them was Mila,
00:52whose house was wet after the water entered.
00:56It was still submerged until now in the flood.
00:58The water level rose suddenly,
01:02so we hurried to dry our items,
01:06but it did not dry up.
01:08The water level was too high,
01:11so most of our items were wet.
01:16When we arrived in Libon, Albay,
01:18we were greeted by a left-right traffic light.
01:21The old garage in front of me
01:23was completely destroyed
01:25due to the strong wind of the typhoon Christine
01:28and the heavy rain.
01:29The land beneath it was gradually eaten up
01:32and became a wasteland.
01:35Along with the heavy rain,
01:37the owner of the tractor, vehicle, motorcycle, tricycle, and livestock
01:43I am calling on behalf of President Bongbong Marcos
01:47to help us in this tragedy
01:51so that we can get our old livelihood back,
01:55especially in farming.
01:58Some rice fields in Libon, Albay were not saved
02:01due to the heavy rain and landslides
02:03that were caused by the flood.
02:06It's gone.
02:07It's like a desert.
02:10We don't know when it will start.
02:15We were greeted by wet documents
02:17that were being dried in front of the municipality of Libon.
02:20Even the municipality was affected by the heavy rain.
02:23Some of the vehicles parked in the compound were also submerged.
02:27According to Libon LGU,
02:28two people were killed in their town
02:30while one was missing
02:32after the house was hit by a landslide
02:34in Barangay Borabud, Libon, Albay.
02:36Libon, Albay is now under the State of Calamity.
02:39It's the worst flooding in history
02:43in our town of Libon.
02:45It's terrible.
02:46Many people were submerged and lost their homes.
02:49We need to use floating.
02:52The people of the Philippine Red Cross
02:55and the humanitarian caravan from Manila
02:58are helping to evacuate those who were hit by the landslides.
03:01It will be 500 meters long
03:05from San Fernando Milagro Road to Camp Sur
03:07and 100 meters to Naga
03:09after the heavy rain
03:11caused by Hurricane Christine.
03:18In times like this,
03:20clean drinking water
03:22is one of the needs of our people.
03:25It's a great blessing
03:27for the people of Polanggi, Albay
03:30to have clean drinking water
03:32from PNP Region 5.
03:34The water comes from BFP,
03:37PNP's Water Desalination Equipment,
03:40and it's transported here
03:42to the rows of residents.
03:45We hope that in the coming days,
03:48PNP Region 5's equipment
03:50will provide free drinking water
03:52to the people of Polanggi, Albay.
03:55That's all for now from Polanggi, Albay.
03:57Back to you, Mel.
03:59John, there are still hundreds of people
04:01who were submerged in the flood.
04:03When do you expect
04:05the flood will subside?
04:07So that we can reach
04:09the other women affected by the flood.
04:11John?
04:16You know, Mel,
04:18from our experience,
04:20it took three days
04:22and sometimes a week
04:24for the flood to subside.
04:26But our people told us
04:28that this flood
04:30is really different.
04:32It's worse than what they've experienced.
04:34That's why we expect it to last longer.
04:36That's why our people
04:38need to send
04:40big equipment to reach
04:42the unpassable areas
04:44to reach the people
04:46who need help
04:48who are still starving
04:50and unable to get help.
04:52Be careful, John.
04:54Thank you very much.
