00:00Aside from Putik Mula sa Baha, Tagalibon Albay is also affected by the destruction of many houses and roads.
00:08There are houses that have been relocated.
00:10There is also a problem with food and drinking water.
00:13And Chino Gaston is live on the scene.
00:19Vicky, it is possible that it will take a few weeks, if not months, for the residents of Tagalibon Albay to return to normal life,
00:26like those who lost their homes here in Barangay Borabod, in the town of Libo,
00:30that until now, have not experienced or are still losing electricity.
00:39A large pile of stones fell from the mountain, almost 30 houses here in Barangay Borabod.
00:46From the slope, the vastness of the land was seen when the Christine typhoon hit.
00:51A resident is still being searched for and believed to be dead in the landslide.
00:55Vilma Rosal is one of the survivors who left the house to see the landslides that happened when the typhoon hit.
01:01When she returned, the house and two cars were no longer in their original place.
01:06They were swept away by the tornado.
01:09I told my husband that I was there.
01:12I thanked God and thanked the people.
01:16And they were able to take the house out.
01:19When they were able to take it out, they said it was only for a few seconds.
01:23There, it's already there.
01:25Those who lost their homes were moved to a relocation site, not far from those whose houses were destroyed.
01:31The three-square-mile landslide will not bring down the road leading to the coastal barangays.
01:37Some roads are already covered with soil beneath.
01:41Those who are evacuating to Manila or who are buying supplies to return to Barangay Pantau
01:46are forced to travel long distances.
01:48But when the motorbike can no longer handle it, they are forced to walk in the white sand.
01:53This woman is from the coastal barangay Pantau
01:56where we were able to rest thanks to the landslide areas with the two children.
02:01We were waiting for the party.
02:03We were supposed to leave because it was already raining.
02:05We were not able to leave because the water in our house was clogged.
02:13All our trips were canceled.
02:17The barangay's market was swept away because it was flooding.
02:19Tumputic left it and the residents started to clean it up.
02:23In Bonbon Elementary School, many rooms are already clean
02:28but the roads are still full of mud and the computers and books are broken.
02:33Residents are also asking for help with the distribution that the Philippine Red Cross did earlier.
02:39Even though some evacuees have already returned home,
02:42they still need food and most of all, clean drinking water.
02:47We can't drink the drinking water that comes from Libon.
02:51There's no drinking water because all the ponds are flooded.
02:55It tastes bad. We can't drink it.
03:02Vicky, according to the last report of the Albay Provincial Government,
03:05there are still almost 2,000 families in evacuation centers.
03:09Here in the town of Libon,
03:10three more barangays are isolated because of the cut roads.
03:15Vicky?
03:16Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.
