NewsTranscript
00:00In the landslide that was brought by Hurricane Christine,
00:03the people who were left behind continued to be left behind.
00:06Sixty-seven provinces from sixteen regions in the country
00:10were hit by the wide spread of the hurricane.
00:14According to the Office of Civil Defense,
00:16more than eighty people were left behind due to the hurricane.
00:20The majority were in Calabarzon, which was followed by Bicol Region.
00:24Sixty-six people were injured while thirty-four were still being searched.
00:28More than one million families were affected,
00:31compared to more than four million individuals.
00:35To date, eighty-two thousand families remain in evacuation centers.
00:39According to the NDRRMC,
00:41more than two hundred million pesos was the amount of land left by the hurricane
00:44in infrastructure and almost ninety million in agriculture.
00:49Eighty-three cities and towns are under a state of calamity.
00:54Dear viewers, aside from the heavy rain and flooding in Albay,
00:58one of the biggest problems in the province is food.
01:02Some parts of Libon Albay were isolated after the hurricane.
01:06In the first instance, the help of the GMA arrived and stayed.
01:11That's what John Consulta was talking about live.
01:14John.
01:19Seven different barangays remain isolated in Libon Albay
01:24because of the left-right landslide effected by Hurricane Christine.
01:29Many of Ivan Pia's families lost their food.
01:33In the first instance, the authorities and the GMA Capuso Foundation
01:38and one thousand families were given help.
01:46The roads in Pantao Barangay in Libon Albay were destroyed
01:50after the land below it was formed by a landslide.
01:56The left-right landslide was seen in the aerial video
01:58which is the reason why seven barangays in Libon were isolated.
02:02Because no one was able to go out or get supplies since Tuesday,
02:06the residents lost their food.
02:09There were a lot of landslides so we couldn't go inside.
02:12The MGB said that the land is still moving
02:15so we can't do anything yet.
02:17We can't do a clearing operation yet
02:20because our rescue teams might be put in danger.
02:24In the first instance from Manila,
02:27the GMA Integrated News, GMA Capuso Foundation and the military
02:32arrived at the isolated Pantao Barangay
02:34where the Philippine Air Force helicopters and relief goods arrived.
02:39Using a presidential chopper and a black hawk of the Philippine Air Force,
02:44the relief goods of the GMA Capuso Foundation arrived here in Pantao Barangay,
02:50one of the hardest-hit barangays here in Libon Albay.
02:58When we landed, we couldn't stop the residents
03:02who helped to carry the relief goods
03:04so that 1,000 families can share the relief goods.
03:09I am thankful to the GMA that you came and brought food packages.
03:14These barangays are really isolated.
03:16We are doing our best to help those who were hit by the typhoon
03:20where they really need the basic necessities every day.
03:24We are thankful to all our donors and partners
03:28because because of their help,
03:31we were finally able to reach Libon Albay.
03:35The GMA Capuso Foundation will also deliver 100 kilos of pet food
03:39to the Tobacco Albay Pet Shelter.
03:46It seems like this situation in these isolated barangays in Libon Albay will last for a long time
03:54because according to our information from Libon LGU,
03:58they will not be able to start their retrieval operations and clearing operations
04:02because on top of the landslide areas,
04:05there are cracks that could lead to new landslides if there is movement down there.
04:11That's all for now here in Libon Albay.
04:13Back to you, Ivan.
04:14Thank you very much, John Consulta.
04:17As President Marcos,
04:19to those who helped in the aftermath of the typhoon
04:23he proposed a long-term solution to the flood,
04:26a flood control project that has consideration for climate change.
04:29And that is what Ian Cruz is talking about live.
04:33Ian?
04:37Yes, Pia.
04:38President Bongbong Marcos said that a long-term flood control project
04:43that has consideration for climate change
04:45is what he sees as the solution against the heavy flooding here in Bicol Region.
04:54Those who were affected by the Christine Flood
04:56who were stranded in Naga City Hall
04:58were visited and checked by President Bongbong Marcos
05:01who is part of the President of the Philippines
05:03with P10,000 in cash assistance for each family.
05:07What happened to you is heavy and the water level is very high.
05:13And what is difficult is the flood.
05:17We came from Buli and the water is not moving.
05:22The water is not moving so we are trying to find a solution.
05:28In the situation briefing of Naga City and Albay LCU,
05:32they reported to the President about the effects of the Christine Flood.
05:36According to the Mayor of Naga,
05:37the rescue and help to the drowned barangay continues.
05:41They asked for additional relief goods.
05:44According to DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian,
05:47those relief goods have already arrived
05:48and they can also get relief goods from the DSWD Hub in Cebu
05:53to be brought to Bicol.
05:55In Albay, more than 300 houses are likely to be affected by the landslide again.
06:01The President ordered the DHSUD
06:03to find new homes for the affected.
06:06The President himself said
06:08that the magnitude of the effects of the Christine Flood in Bicol will not be underestimated.
06:12We have a lot of flood control.
06:14We have dikes, we have pumping stations,
06:17we have flood control gates,
06:21but the water is just too much.
06:24And not all of our flood control,
06:26which used to be able to handle even if it was raining,
06:31is now flooded.
06:36In 1973, there was a Bicol River Basin Project,
06:41but the project was not completed when the government was replaced in 1986.
06:45With the help of South Korea,
06:47the project was re-studied.
06:49The time is changing
06:51when it comes to the design of the program.
06:54It's not about community development anymore.
06:56We will focus on the flood control.
06:59The President also gave a check in 30 million pesos for Naga
07:03and 50 million pesos for Albay.
07:06The Department of National Defense
07:08will provide fuel assistance for the need of the Surat Naga Navy
07:12when the supply of fuel is depleted.
07:15Before Naga, the President went to the town of Bula
07:18and talked to the flood-stricken residents.
07:21There was also a briefing with the Kamsor LGU
07:25and the President inspected the loading of boats
07:28to deliver relief goods to the communities that are still flooded.
07:33Pia, here in Naga,
07:35we can see that this area is one of the seven barangays that are still flooded.
07:39President Bongbong Marcos is hurrying to deliver prophylaxis drugs
07:44against leptospirosis
07:46and other drugs needed in hospitals,
07:50health centers, and evacuation centers.
07:54That's the latest from Naga.
07:56Back to you, Pia.
07:58Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
08:28I went straight to my mother's house.
08:31I ran to save them.
08:35It was already raining.
08:36The ground was covered with mud from the mountains
08:39because of the heavy rain.
08:41In the midst of the heavy rain,
08:43the ground in this area became soft
08:45and the house was pulled down from the foundation
08:48and fell two times.
08:51In other parts of the town,
08:53the roads on the riverside were heavily flooded.
08:57In the communities in the mountains,
09:00like Barangay Onggo,
09:02the roads are still flooded with trees and soil.
09:06Only motorcycles can pass through the deep mud.
09:15A jeepney on the Marcos Highway,
09:17Santi Polo City,
09:18slipped and hit the road.
09:21In Cujan, Dashka,
09:22you can see a jeepney overtaking an SUV.
09:26But when it returned to the road,
09:28it suddenly turned to the side
09:30and hit the road.
09:33The jeepney also collided with a motorcycle
09:35of a food delivery rider who was injured.
09:38The jeepney's passengers and its driver were also injured.
09:42The driver apologized
09:44for the reckless imprudence
09:46resulting in damage to property
09:48and multiple physical injuries.
09:50As of now, the jeepney operator
09:52is not responsible for the victims of the accident.
09:56In addition to the heavy rains,
09:58every October,
09:59the rain that was caused by Hurricane Christine
10:01in Albay,
10:02within 24 hours,
10:03was due to a lack of hope.
10:05Does this have an effect on Amihan or Laniña?
10:08This is what Ma'am Gonzales
10:10has to say.
10:15In the heat of the storm,
10:18and perhaps up to the neck or shoulder
10:21in other places,
10:22suddenly,
10:23during Hurricane Christine,
10:24many residents of Albay,
10:25according to Albay LGU,
10:27were the first to be hit by Hurricane Christine
10:29within 24 hours
10:31of October 21 to 22,
10:33more than the average rainfall
10:35in the province throughout October.
10:37Albay experienced
10:39an equivalent of two months of rain
10:42during the rainy season.
10:45Within more than 24 hours,
10:48it was hit.
10:50So this is record-breaking since 1969.
10:53It's climatologically normal
10:55that Albay was hit
10:57every October
10:58by 321.9
11:00of rainfall.
11:01But what they experienced on October 22
11:04was 431.0.
11:07Almost the entire Philippines was covered
11:09because of the rain.
11:12In Dayak, Camarines Norte,
11:13it rained 528.5 millimeters
11:15within 24 hours,
11:17more than the average rainfall
11:19in October.
11:20According to the Office of Civil Defense,
11:22the effect of Hurricane Christine was severe
11:24even if the government used
11:26an impact-based forecasting
11:28to predict the most affected areas
11:31and to immediately cancel classing.
11:33We also used
11:35a newer method
11:37on how we can predict
11:39or read
11:41what will happen
11:43when a storm comes.
11:45We saw that we really need
11:47to suspend the study
11:49of our students
11:50for the entire school year.
11:51Is this the effect of the storm?
11:53Based on Outlook,
11:55it's possible that it will start
11:56this month and last until March
11:58of the next year?
11:59This is not yet the effect of the storm.
12:01Our forecast for November
12:03is one to two storms.
12:05According to Outlook,
12:0671% is the chance of a storm
12:08this October, November,
12:10December season.
12:11We're still in the transition period.
12:13It's going to be the rainy season
12:15that's possible to enter
12:16in the first half of November
12:18when the chance of a storm
12:20to form is smaller.
12:21Storms form when the wind is hot.
12:23In our northeasterly wind flow,
12:25the wind is cold.
12:27When they have an interaction,
12:29that's when a storm weakens.
12:31Hope is also being watched
12:33for the expected entry
12:35to the Philippine Area of Responsibility
12:37of Tropical Storm Congre,
12:38known as the Lion Storm.
12:40What's the effect of this
12:41during the storm next week?
12:43Its track is very clean.
12:45We don't see any landfall.
12:47We're aware of its trough.
12:49It's possible that it will bring
12:51heavy rains
12:52that will spread
12:53here in the extreme northern Luzon.
12:55But for Metro Manila,
12:56the weather will be clear
12:58but there are chances of rain.
