NewsTranscript
00:00There is no electricity in some parts of Batanes, in the middle of the storm of Super Bagyong Leon, in Cagayan, there are people who were evacuated because of the storm surge or daluyong.
00:12From Santa Ana, Cagayan, Saksi Live, Jonathan Andal. Jonathan?
00:20Sandra, we are at signal number 3 here in Santa Ana, Cagayan, and the wind is very strong at this time, especially earlier.
00:28The rain is not that strong. The roads have been cut off. There are also power cables cut off.
00:37There is no electricity in Santa Ana right now. Some resorts here in Santa Ana have already been hit by the storm surge.
00:45This lighthouse in Batanes is being hit by strong waves and wind.
00:54On the island of Sabtang, the strong wind and rain is also felt. The waves in Basco are also strong.
01:01The wind and rain are also very strong. Some residents have already tied their houses and motorcycles and sidecars.
01:09The Basco Cathedral Pastoral Center was opened to the evacuees before the storm is expected to pass.
01:16Signal number 4 in Batanes due to the Super Typhoon Leon. According to the governor of Batanes, the rain continues but the wind is their enemy now.
01:25Only now, hundreds of families went to their evacuation center. Their family food packs are also running out because the storm Christine is just passing by.
01:33They are calling for the C-130 to be sent immediately with food packs.
01:37There is no electricity now. Earlier this morning, there was no electricity in Mahatau, Iba, Uyugan, Sabtang.
01:46There is no electricity in the five municipalities. Here in Basco, there was no electricity just this afternoon.
01:52In Gonzaga, Cagayan, the residents were quickly rescued from the side of the sea after the storm surge or sea water entered their houses.
02:00Ma'am, why did you just evacuate?
02:02Because the sea water is already flowing, sir.
02:05Did it just happen that the sea reached your house?
02:08Yes, sir.
02:09Actually, only one family should be the target to be rescued by the rescuers here.
02:12But they were surprised when they arrived here, the sea water reached the houses and the residents were asked to be rescued to be evacuated from here in the face of the storm surge.
02:27There is a high chance that it will rise, sir. Because the projection is from 2 to 4 meters high.
02:32Well, they should have been evacuated earlier because it is hard to evacuate at night.
02:39The tents in this gym of Gonzaga were used again because there were a lot of people who escaped.
02:45It's so scary that the waves are getting bigger in the sea that is surrounded by the sea of Aparikagayan.
02:54The fishermen's wharf and its cottage were swept by the sea in Barangay Padaya.
03:04The storm also hit the town of Bagao early in the morning.
03:09Back to the evacuation center, the residents escaped from the storm surge.
03:13We couldn't sleep because of the strong wind, sir. Maybe we can sleep later because we have a lot of wood, sir.
03:22In Tuguegarao City, the evacuees have been in the evacuation center for more than a week.
03:26We should have gone home but when I saw the situation, it was dark and cloudy, so we decided to leave because of the strong wind.
03:38Even though the number of evacuees has increased, the food and non-food items of the province are enough.
03:44But after the last storm, Kristine, and now the Super Typhoon Leon, the Calamity Fund of Cagayan has run out.
03:51We will be requesting augmentation to the National DRRM Council.
03:56This will be the first time for the province of Cagayan to ask for augmentation for the Quick Response Fund.
04:03In the town of Santa Ana, the strong wind is also causing heavy rain.
04:08It is dark and there is almost zero visibility in the area.
04:12More than a thousand people have been evacuated from coastal barangays that have been leased tents, beds, food, and relief goods.
04:21The strong waves in the sea were experienced in Calayan Island.
04:26Because of the bad weather, landslides occurred again in the Natoni Mountain Province.
04:31Cleaning is still ongoing in Guho.
04:34In the middle of the preparations, the Abuklao and Binadam in Benguet and Magatdam in Isabela are still losing water.
04:41Unfortunately, it looks like it will come again.
04:44So let's prepare well.
04:47STORM SURGE WARNING
04:50Sandra, a storm surge warning was issued at 8 p.m.
04:55For those by the sea, the area of Batanes and Calayan-Cagayan will be low.
05:00It is possible that the storm will reach there in the next 48 hours.
05:04And live from Santa Ana, Cagayan, for GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal is your reporter.
05:16For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jonathan Andal.
