00:22Naveleta is one of the many flooded areas in Baguio.
00:28In Tanawan City, Batangas, a man cut his son's throat
00:34to save him from the heavy rain.
00:36According to the uploader, water entered the first floor of their house
00:40which is why people are being rescued.
00:43The residents of Cavite, Batangas, Bicol and other areas are still recovering.
00:51There are still 46 deaths in the country, according to the Office of Civil Defense.
00:56Most of them are from Bicol and Calabarzon.
01:0218 people have been confirmed dead in the earthquake and landslides in Talisay, Batangas.
01:07Five others were found dead in Agoncillo, Matangay, Agos.
01:10Marisol Toramangas is the witness.
01:17The town of Lemery, Batangas, was unable to enter yesterday
01:20because of the depth and width of the flood.
01:24And it's still raining.
01:25The heavy rain and landslides have returned
01:28which is making it difficult for vehicles to pass.
01:32On a road in Palanan, yesterday, trucks were stranded
01:36because of a heavy rain.
01:37It still hasn't passed.
01:41In the town of Agoncillo, last night, the rain was heavy.
01:46This resident had to walk to get his motorcycle.
01:50Many vehicles were stranded in Putik,
01:53including houses full of land.
01:57Trees fell and landslides.
01:59It's not just random items, but also houses.
02:02Your house, the green roof, it was built here.
02:05It was built here.
02:06Right here.
02:07Yes, this house was built here.
02:10Five people were found dead in the town.
02:11Three in Subic, Ilaya,
02:13one in Subic, Ibaba,
02:14and one in Barangay Panjulan.
02:16They were all watched and covered by landslides.
02:19Joel's uncle probably saved his family,
02:22but he was the one who was trapped.
02:24We almost cried.
02:26My uncle was dead when I saw that.
02:28That's why I started crying.
02:30I sacrificed, even though it was hard,
02:32I tied the trees so that his father could leave.
02:36The local government needs more equipment
02:39to speed up the clearing operation of the roads.
02:42We still have places that we can't reach.
02:48It's so hard.
02:49For the first time,
02:51the communication line is hard
02:54because we don't have internet.
02:59Even our cell phones don't have signal.
03:05Normally, it just floods.
03:08It used to be just water,
03:10but it would easily subside.
03:13Now, the water has soil,
03:17and also trees.
03:20The trees have withered.
03:24There's a lot of water.
03:29There are also residents who were buried
03:31in Barangay Sampaloc in the town of Talisay.
03:34Despite the floods,
03:36Elmer D. Hupos' mother is still able to see.
03:39I didn't expect that there would be landslides.
03:41The rain was weak,
03:42but there were no floods.
03:43When we came back here,
03:44there were landslides.
03:45His two children were rescued,
03:47but their two-year-old child
03:49was left inside the house.
03:51There are 20 households,
03:53and there are 8 landslides.
03:55There are packets of landslides
03:57from Tagaytay down here.
04:00All the water,
04:01trees,
04:02and boulders
04:04and soil
04:05are down here.
04:06I didn't expect that my house
04:08used to have houses,
04:10but now,
04:11the water is thick,
04:12and the rocks are growing.
04:14The landslides happened
04:16because of the heavy rain yesterday.
04:18Two more are missing,
04:20and 18 have been confirmed
04:22to be in the landslides.
04:23Two of them
04:24were found here yesterday
04:25behind the house of Celo.
04:27They are a few meters away
04:28from the landslide area.
04:30The water brought it here.
04:32It's here.
04:33We got it from here.
04:34It's from Hudo.
04:35If it's still there,
04:36we can't get it from here.
04:38Those who were retrieved
04:39were transported to Lawa
04:40to be delivered to the town.
04:42Other houses,
04:43establishments,
04:44and vehicles in Talisay
04:46were submerged in thick puddles.
04:48This road can't pass
04:50in Talisay, Batangas, and El Bocon,
04:51because of the thick puddles.
04:53These trees
04:54are also submerged
04:56in the road.
04:59The rocks and rocks
05:01along with the land
05:02and the branches of the trees
05:03fell on the National Highway
05:05in San Jose, Batangas.
05:07No one was hurt.
05:08Some nearby stores
05:09were swept away
05:10by the strong wind
05:11caused by the storm.
05:13Some residential areas
05:14were still submerged
05:15in the wide puddles
05:16caused by the storm,
05:18and some were still flooded
05:19by the JP Laurel Highway
05:20in Lipa City.
05:21President Bongbong Marcos
05:23visited the towns
05:24in Batangas and Cavite
05:26where the storm
05:27was most severe.
05:28The President's order
05:30is to use all vehicles
05:31of the government
05:32in rescue and relief operations
05:34on land, water, or air,
05:36even the presidential chopper.
05:39We just have to keep monitoring
05:41the situation
05:42and make sure
05:44always the rescue and relief
05:47that cannot stop.
05:50It doesn't matter
05:51if there's another storm coming,
05:52we cannot stop.
05:54He told the leaders of the government.
05:56Just remember there are people
05:58still in water right now.
06:04They're still flooded.
06:05They're walking around
06:06with water up to their waist.
06:08They have no water supply.
06:09They have no food.
06:10They have no place to stay.
06:12So if you think you're tired,
06:15think about what their condition is.
06:17So let's always keep that in mind.
