00:00Fifty-seven people have died in Batangas because of the typhoon Kristi.
00:05Some are still missing among those who were brought here by land, boats, and trucks.
00:11From Agoncillo, Batangas, this is Darlene Kang.
00:15Darlene.
00:19Ivan, until now, there are still missing residents who are worried that they were swept away by landslides or were brought to Salawa.
00:27Some roads are still damaged and there is still no supply of water and electricity in a large part of the town of Agoncillo.
00:37Water, timber, and debris were swept away in this part of Agoncillo, Batangas, which was hit by a landslide on Thursday because of the typhoon Kristi.
00:45The road that crossed the town of Agoncillo and Laurel was also destroyed.
00:49So, if you want to cross, you need to go far and go through Putik and Tubig.
00:54In Barangay Subic, Ilaya, where two houses and many cars were washed out, the landslides were accompanied by landslides.
01:02Joel's family, who were saved after climbing the roof, was worried.
01:08Their belongings were destroyed and their walls were broken because of the landslides.
01:13The LGU carried out a pre-emptive evacuation, but they did not expect the extent of the impact of the typhoon.
01:20We thought it was just a normal typhoon.
01:25There has never been a landslide of that magnitude in the history of our town.
01:33Earlier this morning, the residents of Bilibinwang and Manyaga were continuously evacuated.
01:38They were isolated because of the damaged road.
01:41They will be added to the almost 2,000 remaining evacuation centers here in Agoncillo.
01:48What we really need is food, rice, and water.
01:54There are still many barangays that have no electricity and no water.
01:59Batangas Governor Hermelando Mandanas said that the landslides in the towns next to Taal Lake were not due to quarrying.
02:06The pieces of land were possibly broken trees.
02:10According to the Agoncillo LGU, five were lost and seven were recovered due to the landslide.
02:16The 74-year-old father of Margarito, who has been looking for him for four days, was among those who were lost.
02:22He went to his house and he was swept away by the flood.
02:26It was really painful.
02:28Even if he was killed, we will put him in a good place.
02:32That's why we are forcing him to be seen.
02:39Ivan, the damaged road is starting to collapse.
02:42According to the Agoncillo LGU, it is expected that within two days, a heavy mechanized bridge that residents can use will be completed.
02:50According to Governor Mandanas of Batangas Provincial Government,
02:55the affected residents will not be allowed to return to the landslide-hit areas.
03:00They have a temporary place to stay while looking for a permanent relocation site for them.
03:05That's the latest from Agoncillo Batangas. Back to you, Ivan.
03:09Thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
