00:00Signal No. 3 in Ilocos Norte has been elevated due to the Ophel typhoon.
00:04Let's update on the situation there with Darlene Kaye's on-the-spot report.
00:09Darlene?
00:13Connie, it's raining heavily and sometimes there's strong wind.
00:17That's what we're experiencing here in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte,
00:20where Signal No. 3 has been elevated.
00:24The residents here have not yet been able to get up from their tents
00:27when the typhoon hit.
00:29Here's another example.
00:31I'm standing here at Pasaling Elementary School in Barangay Pasaling.
00:36And what you can see behind me is the students' clinic.
00:41That's the place where the typhoon hit.
00:44The roof was destroyed, the walls were destroyed,
00:47all the equipment inside was destroyed.
00:50The tables, chairs, and learning materials were all destroyed.
00:54Only one part of this school was damaged.
00:57There are other parts of the school that were severely damaged by the typhoon Marse.
01:03Pagudpud is one of the places that has been affected by the typhoon.
01:11Now, the local government is on alert.
01:14They are monitoring Barangay Pasaling and Barangay Panshan
01:18where there are places that are flood-prone and landslide-prone.
01:21Because it's in the coastal area, it's also dangerous here because of the storm surge.
01:27For now, the local government of Pagudpud is preparing to evacuate the residents here.
01:35Five percent of the town is without electricity according to the MDRRMO.
01:40Here is the statement of the teacher we spoke to and the MDRRMO of Pagudpud.
01:47Of course, Marse is strong. They say Ophel is stronger.
01:54We are afraid that our school will be damaged even more.
01:59Of course, the children are poor.
02:02The Emergency Operations Center of the Municipality of Pagudpud is now activated
02:08and we are monitoring the situation here in our town.
02:17Connie, for now, fishermen are not allowed to go out.
02:21And because Pagudpud is a well-known tourist destination,
02:24water-related activities such as swimming and surfing are also prohibited, Connie.
02:29Darlene, do we have any information on the plan of the school for the students
02:35who haven't gone to school for a few days and another typhoon is coming?
02:40Connie, that is the problem of the teachers I spoke to here.
02:44The children haven't gone to school for two weeks because of the next typhoon.
02:51They say they are just giving modules or learning activities to the children
02:56while they haven't gone to school.
02:58And their plan is to have makeup classes when the time is right.
03:03Thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
