00:00Hundreds of families in Isabela have not left the evacuation centers since the typhoon hit.

00:06It is expected that the typhoon Ophel will landfall there today.

00:10Live from Ilagan City, we have the first news, James Agustin. James?

00:19Van, good morning.

00:20The sky is dark and there are heavy rains that we experienced earlier this morning.

00:24That was here in Ilagan City, Isabela.

00:28The Emergency Operations Center of the province has a red alert status.

00:32It is strictly monitored, especially by coastal municipalities

00:35such as Palanan, Dibilakan, Makonakon, and Dinapigue.

00:39In Ilagan City, 43 out of 71 barangays are considered flood-prone areas.

00:45That is why the rescue boats that were deployed following the typhoon are still prepositioned until now.

00:50More than 300 families remain in the evacuation centers,

00:53equivalent to more than 1,000 individuals.

00:56Some of them evacuated when the typhoon Nika hit.

00:59And because of the typhoon Ophel, they were told not to go home.

01:02Even wild animals were evacuated because the crops were submerged.

01:06There is one continuation that was not passed for four days

01:09because of the high pressure of the Pinakanawan River.

01:12Meanwhile, Ivan, as you can see, that is the part of the Pinakanawan River.

01:15In the middle of it, they have what is called the Bakulud Bridge

01:19that residents use to cross to the other barangay.

01:23Because it has not been passed for several days,

01:25since Monday afternoon, the residents have to go around the river

01:30because of the high pressure of the water.

01:34And this morning, we were able to reach the side of the road

01:37that leads to that river.

01:39The clearing operations that the authorities are doing

01:41because of the thick sand that was hit by the typhoon Nika.

01:48And this morning, we are experiencing the rescue in this area

01:52but there was a strong rain earlier this morning.

01:55First is the latest from Ilagan City, Isabela.

01:58I am James Agustin for German Integrated News.

02:01James, it is expected that there will be strong winds

02:04when the typhoon will pass and there will be strong rains.

02:07Are there any residents who were left in their homes

02:10and were not evacuated or forced evacuation was carried out?

02:15There was no forced evacuation event here in Ilagan City

02:19but coastal municipalities already had a pre-emptive evacuation.

02:23On our tour yesterday, there were evacuees,

02:26residents who returned to their homes.

02:28But they will also return to the evacuation center.

02:31These are the residents who really stayed in low-lying areas.

02:35And in some areas, the residents said,

02:39because the typhoon did not pass yet,

02:41they are also being watched because there are wild animals

02:44and plants.

02:46Ivan.

02:47So, you mentioned the floods.

02:49James, are there places in Isabela that are still flooded

02:52because of the typhoon and it is not raining yet?

02:59Yes, Ivan.

03:00In some towns that we visited here in the province of Isabela yesterday,

03:04there are still floods.

03:06But usually, it is in the plants.

03:08But usually, it is in the plants.

03:10If there are houses,

03:12these are the houses where the barangay is really low

03:15and the road is low.

03:16That is why it is near the rice fields.

03:19But those are also subsides.

03:21That is why the residents are worried

03:23that because of the typhoon Ophel,

03:25it is possible that the water level will rise again.

03:28Ivan.

03:29Be careful there.

03:30Thank you very much, James Agustin.
