Transcript
00:00Thousands of residents were evacuated in the middle of a typhoon in Cagayan.
00:04The problem there is the lack of evacuation centers
00:08because many were evacuated by the typhoon Marse last week.
00:13First news live, Chris Suniga of GMA Visual TV. Chris.
00:23In the province of Cagayan, the typhoon Ophel experienced a strong downpour in the town of Santa Ana.
00:30That's why about 1,300 families had to be evacuated.
00:39It seems that the heavy rain in Santa Ana, Cagayan is not going to stop.
00:43The rain is heavy.
00:46Along with the strong wind, these trees are being pushed down.
00:51Others are completely collapsed.
00:54Yesterday afternoon, a super typhoon Ophel hit Baggao, Cagayan.
00:59There was almost zero visibility on the road.
01:01The roof of this parking lot was almost blown off.
01:04The same goes for the iron in the multi-purpose center.
01:07There was also no electricity supply in the area.
01:11In the town of Bugay,
01:12the rescuers bravely held the typhoon to evacuate a resident.
01:18The evacuation of the residents in the town of Apari also continued.
01:21The typhoon also hit the town of Gonzaga.
01:24Even in the center of Amulong.
01:27The GMA Integrated News witnessed
01:29how the strong wind almost blew the branches of the trees in Santa Ana.
01:35The wind was also very strong.
01:40At the same time, the number of evacuees in the barangay did not stop.
01:44There were more than 30 families of the residents.
01:47We were a bit scared of the strong wind.
01:50The problem is,
01:52the branches of the evacuation center
01:55for the 200 families of the residents in the barangay of San Vicente are not enough.
01:58Many classrooms were destroyed by the typhoon last week.
02:04We set up 25 individuals in the rooms.
02:08We set up 30 in the big rooms.
02:11But because it was not enough,
02:14some said it was too small.
02:16So we decided to set up more.
02:22However, there is still a big problem in some places
02:26due to the lack of electricity and communication.
02:29There are also bridges and roads that cannot be passed due to the flood.
02:33The authorities are conducting a clearing operation
02:35for the fallen posts, trees, and debris that fell on the road.
02:40Meanwhile, here in Dagupan City,
02:43some fishermen, like Mang Benny, did not go fishing
02:46due to the strong waves in the sea.
02:49It may not be raining,
02:50but they are afraid that the weather will be bad in the sea
02:54due to the Ophel and Pepito typhoons.
02:58Some parts of Tondaligan Beach Park in Dagupan
03:01have been flooded by the strong winds
03:03due to the typhoons.
03:05Some beachgoers are still visiting,
03:08but the authorities are reminding us
03:11that there is no swimming policy if the weather is bad.
03:15Thank you very much, Chris Zuniga of GMA Regional TV.
