00:00We will be together.
00:08Taksi!
00:14San Jose Bridge in Gonzaga, Cagayan continues to be repaired.
00:18After the destruction of Baguio Ocel,
00:20until tonight, there are more stranded in the area and are waiting for the bridge to open.
00:26Others cross the river even if it's dark, they can just go home.
00:31According to the DPWH, the target is for the road to be opened until later this afternoon.
00:37Baguio Ocel left the Philippine Area of Responsibility yesterday,
00:41but according to the forecast, it is possible that it will enter the PAR again tonight.
00:46As for Baguio Pepito, it is expected that it will be under rapid intensification until tomorrow,
00:52and it can become a super typhoon before it lands on the weekend.
00:57For other details about Baguio, stay tuned.
01:02It will be difficult to get help in some places in Adams, Ilocos Norte,
01:06due to damaged roads and bridges.
01:08From Ilocos Norte, I'm Darlene Kach.
01:13Darlene?
01:17Pia, we experienced heavy rain here in Pagudpud and next to Adams yesterday.
01:24Some residents are still waiting for the bridge that was left by the typhoons.
01:29However, just like in Adams, the damaged roads and bridges are not yet repaired
01:35because the typhoons are coming one after another.
01:43F**k!
01:46There's no roof left.
01:47Look at the iron.
01:49It's flying away.
01:51That's how damaged Alan's house was when the typhoon Manse hit Adams, Ilocos Norte.
01:56The house is damaged.
01:58They added paint and plastic to the remedies they made at home.
02:02The problem is, this is the typhoon Ocel.
02:05That's why they removed the new wall made of iron.
02:07It's hard for us to start again because we don't have a job.
02:15That's why we stopped at the typhoon.
02:17We just prayed that the typhoon would end.
02:22That's also the situation of 82-year-old Mrs. Maria.
02:25That's why she's helping to clean the roads and bridges to earn a little for her house.
02:31I had a hard time because my kitchen was damaged.
02:36Everything in the house was damaged.
02:40In Poblacion 3, the spillway collapsed.
02:43This bridge was cut off.
02:45The floodway was also damaged.
02:47From where I'm standing to that tree,
02:50the cement road was that long and was broken when the landslide happened
02:57when the typhoon Manse hit.
02:59Until now, clearing operations are having a hard time because of the next typhoon.
03:04Because of the next typhoon, clearing operations are having a hard time.
03:08When we built the roads or landslides,
03:12when it rains, the landslides collapse and disappear.
03:15According to the MDRRMO,
03:17the three sites of Adams are isolated and do not come out
03:21because of the damaged bridges and roads.
03:23And like other places in Northern Luzon,
03:26the Calamity Fund of Adams is running out.
03:29We need help from the government,
03:33especially from the provincial government,
03:36the national government,
03:37to ask for help.
03:40Number one, maybe the equipment,
03:44and the funded infrastructures,
03:48and then the food that people need,
03:52and then the replacements for the agricultural damages.
03:57Calbarrio of the residents of Ilagan City, Isabela,
04:00is the thick spot that was left by the next typhoon.
04:04Ms. Gliceria just got home
04:06and stayed in the evacuation center for four days.
04:09The COVID-19 came to our house.
04:12That's why I'm having a hard time now.
04:14Alma's house in Barangay Bagong Bayan
04:17was flooded twice by the typhoon Christine and Mika.
04:21It's hard, sir.
04:22It's tiring to evacuate.
04:25We have to carry our things,
04:28and then we have to go back.
04:29We have to clean.
04:31It's really hard, sir.
04:32We have to live here, sir.
04:33The farmers in the area were not able to survive
04:36when the river overflowed.
04:37This river is no longer passable.
04:40Because of the effects of the next typhoon,
04:42the State of Calamity declared on Tuesday
04:45the town of Kabagan.
04:47In Barangay Kasibaragsur,
04:49the rice plantations were flooded
04:51because of the Kagayan River overflow.
04:53It's really hard.
04:54My father's plantations were flooded twice.
04:57And of course, it will start again, sir.
05:00The Pinsalas Agrikultura,
05:01which was left by the typhoon,
05:03reached P22 million.
05:05Most of the people affected by the typhoon
05:08are farmers.
05:12Our local government unit will provide free seeds,
05:16seeds for the farmers.
05:25Pia, for now, the entire province is still alert
05:28for the upcoming typhoons.
05:30The help is also gradually being provided
05:32to the affected residents,
05:34such as family food packs from DSWD
05:37and also construction materials
05:39from the provincial government, Pia.
05:42Darling, earlier you mentioned in your report
05:44that you are asking for food,
05:46construction materials,
05:48and other materials.
05:50But did you also mention, for example,
05:53the PDRRMO,
05:54that they need help from personnel
05:56because I remember when the typhoon Christine hit,
05:58there was fatigue
06:00on the part of the rescue workers,
06:02as well as those who were responding
06:04to their repairs
06:07to the damaged roofs and roads.
06:10Pia, when we went to the town of Adams,
06:12here in Ilocos Norte,
06:14the lack of personnel is not a problem.
06:17Their only problem is the window of time
06:20for them to continue clearing operations
06:23and other rehabilitation and recovery efforts
06:26because they cannot continue this,
06:28just like repairing roads and damaged roads,
06:32because the typhoon is coming one after another.
06:35The last time the typhoon hit,
06:38the typhoon Mars,
06:40the typhoon Nika,
06:42and also the typhoon Ophel,
06:44the window of time
06:46in our surrounding towns
06:48here in Ilocos Norte,
06:50so unlike other provinces
06:52in the north of Luzon,
06:54they do not lack rescuers
06:56and other personnel.
06:58And that is the latest live report
07:01from Ilocos Norte.
07:03I am Darlene Kaye for GMA Integrated News.
07:07Even though the invitation of Tom Miércoles was personally accepted,
07:10Vice President Sara Duterte had no plans
07:13to attend the hearing of the Camera
07:15regarding the confidential funds of her appointment.
07:17Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
07:23Not an hour after the arrival of Tom Miércoles to the Camera,
07:27Vice President Sara Duterte
07:30met with former President Rodrigo Duterte
07:32while the father was in jail
07:34in the Qualcomm hearing on the war on drugs.
07:36At the end of more than half a day of hearing,
07:39former President Duterte asked Vice President Sara Duterte.
07:41She said, how was my performance?
07:45And I said, best dramatic actor.
07:47Vice President Sara Duterte did not speak at the hearing.
07:50But what she can say now,
07:52in the Qualcomm hearing,
07:54she could not understand the rules used.
07:56They use inquiry and investigation interchangeably.
08:00So you don't know if it's an inquiry,
08:02you're a research person,
08:03if it's an investigation,
08:04you're a witness or an accused.
08:07The Qualcomm meeting of the Camera
08:09has not yet concluded.
08:10The day started at 6 a.m.
08:12and it was around 10.30 p.m.
08:15They said that I might have low blood sugar.
08:19So I couldn't eat.
08:21I asked him to excuse me,
08:24but he didn't want to.
08:26But he believed when we told him
08:29that he should eat first.
08:31According to what former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said
08:35about the bank accounts of Duterte,
08:38he said he went to all the banks one by one
08:41and asked for the accounts named after him.
08:44I asked the bank why they have this.
08:47They said it might be a non-existent account.
08:51So I have accounting.
08:54Even the transactions they say,
08:57I also asked the bank.
09:01He also agreed to accept the invitation
09:05for a separate hearing
09:07with the OVP Confidential Fund.
09:10BC said she will not attend the invitation
09:12of the House Committee on Good Government and Accountability.
09:15But they plan to send a letter to the committee.
09:18We plan to say why
09:20and then I plan as well to submit an affidavit
09:25about the confidential funds.
09:27That affidavit is also under oath.
09:29They only invited me once for the first time.
09:32I went and sat there.
09:35They didn't ask me.
09:37If you can see, I was just sitting there.
09:40I was wasting my time.
09:42So I said goodbye.
09:43If I can leave, they allowed me.
09:46According to the House Committee on Good Government,
09:49Chair Congressman Joel Chua,
09:51VP Sara was given the opportunity
09:53to clarify the use of the OVP by the Government Fund,
09:56particularly the Confidential Funds.
09:58They also agreed to send an invitation
10:01for a second hearing
10:03and the following hearings were rejected.
10:06The committee will only study
10:08the affidavit submitted by VP Sara.
10:10But they would prefer
10:12to face the personnel.
10:14For GMA Integrated News,
10:17Marisol Abduraman is your witness.
10:22A forest evacuation was carried out
10:24in some parts of Camarines Norte and Quezon Province
10:26as part of the preparation for the Pepito Flood.
10:28There are landslides in some areas
10:31that are close to the sea.
10:33Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
10:36Sandra?
10:38Yes, Kia.
10:39The Diet Local Government is still preparing
10:42for the arrival of the Pepito Flood.
10:45And earlier, they carried out a forced evacuation.
10:49That's why there are families here, Kia,
10:51in evacuation centers
10:53that will pass by at night.
10:58In order for the 80 families
11:00who were evacuated from the seaside
11:03in the Diet Camarines Norte to survive,
11:06the Local Government carried out
11:08a forced evacuation in some barangays there
11:11according to the Diet MDRRMO.
11:14Residents were evacuated due to the storm surge
11:17or the new yong
11:19that could reach up to 2 to 3 meters
11:22in the next two days.
11:24But since it's already night,
11:26the evacuation will continue tomorrow.
11:29In Catanduana,
11:30it is expected that the storm will hit
11:32early tomorrow night or Sunday.
11:35But it is possible to feel the Pepito Flood
11:38in Camarines Norte
11:39that entered the cone of probability
11:42or uncertainty of the storm.
11:44The Office of Civil Defense 5
11:46is also postponing their preparations
11:49especially that the whole Bicol Region
11:51will be affected by the Pepito Flood.
11:53The width of this storm is 500 kilometers
11:57according to the forecast.
11:59So we are preparing.
12:01And our DSWD,
12:03immediately after the christening,
12:06they already replaced
12:08the family food packs.
12:10And today, sir,
12:12there are 8 packs of DSWD family food packs
12:16from the Visayas
12:17that will be brought here to Bicol
12:19for additional replenishment.
12:23I am reminding you
12:25to prepare and be careful
12:27for the upcoming Pepito Flood.
12:29The Philippine Coast Guard
12:31visited the residents
12:33near the sea in Lucena City, Quezon
12:36regarding the upcoming Pepito Flood.
12:40Like in Barangay Dalajican
12:42where the residents are used to strong storms.
12:45Our house was washed out
12:47because of the sea.
12:49The fishermen
12:50removed their boats from the sea
12:53so that it won't be damaged.
12:54The other residents are also preparing.
12:57Our things are ready.
12:59Earlier this morning,
13:00I also took our things
13:02that can go into the sea.
13:04What will you do to your family?
13:07Let me take care of my family first.
13:09I will accompany them to Laguna.
13:12The responders of the Philippines
13:14are also ready
13:15with the equipment
13:16in the evacuation centers.
13:18As a precaution,
13:20the Governor of Quezon
13:22ordered the local disaster risk reduction
13:24and management office
13:26to carry out pre-emptive
13:27and forced evacuation
13:29in areas where the flood is high.
13:32Pagunanlupa and Daluyong.
13:34And if there are residents
13:36who will not follow the evacuation.
13:38The PNP and the Army
13:40also took care
13:41in ensuring the forced evacuation
13:43to our fellow countrymen
13:44who will not follow.
13:46In the press briefing earlier
13:48at NDRRMC,
13:49the President also ordered
13:51the immediate evacuation of people
13:54from areas affected by the storm surge.
13:57It seems to be a significant one
13:59because if we're talking about 3 meters,
14:01that's almost one floor.
14:03So we really need to
14:06advise the LGUs.
14:09The President also told the DILG
14:11to inform the local governments
14:14in preparation for the effects of the storm.
14:17Emergency vehicles,
14:21heavy equipment, rubber boats
14:23and air assets of the government
14:25in areas affected by the storm
14:26should also be deployed.
14:29PIA is still fresh in the minds
14:31of the residents here.
14:32The storm that passed,
14:33the Christine
14:34and even the Ulysses in 2020.
14:37That's why we have fellow countrymen
14:39who are really prepared.
14:40There is a big grocery store here.
14:43I saw earlier
14:44that there is almost no bread.
14:46And there are also cats
14:47that also fled.
14:48The truth is that PIA is full.
14:51Even the hotels here.
14:52That's the last news.
14:54I am Sandra Aguinaldo,
14:56your witness.
14:59My fellow countrymen,
15:00the areas affected by the storm
15:02are even more spread
15:03as it approaches the country.
15:05According to the latest forecast,
15:07the last place the storm will pass
15:09is 465 kilometers
15:11in the east of Gihuan,
15:12Eastern Samar.
15:13According to the forecast,
15:14the storm is expected to land
15:16in Catan, Juarez
15:17tomorrow night
15:18or on Sunday morning.
15:20But because of the cone of probability
15:22or uncertainty,
15:23the other part of Bicol
15:25may also hit
15:27Camarinasur, Albay or Sorsogon.
15:29There is also a chance
15:31that it will descend a little
15:32and if that happens,
15:33it may hit Northern Samar
15:35tomorrow afternoon or evening.
15:37And if it rises,
15:39it may also landfall
15:41on the eastern coast of Quezon or Aurora.
15:43And wherever it continues,
15:45the storm will pass
15:47near Bicol Region,
15:48Quezon, Santa Luzon
15:50and Pangasinan this weekend.
15:52Sunday night or Monday morning
15:54it is possible that it will be
15:56in the West Philippine Sea.
15:57For now,
15:58signal number 2 is rising
16:00in the eastern part of Northern Samar,
16:02northern part of Eastern Samar
16:04and northern part of Samar Province.
16:07Signal number 1 is rising

16:31and in Biliran.
16:33Some parts of Luzon and Visayas
16:35will also be rainy this weekend.
16:37And based on the rainfall outlook of Pagasa,
16:39expect moderate to heavy rains
16:41until tomorrow in Sorsogon,
16:43northern Samar and eastern Samar.

17:16The typhoon Ophel continues to
17:18weaken and emerge
17:19in the Philippine Area of Responsibility
17:21earlier this afternoon.
17:23But just a while ago,

19:13In addition to LRT Cavite Extension, other railway projects such as the Unified Grand Central Station,
19:19Metro Manila Subway Project, MRT-7, North-South Commuter Railway, PNR South Long Haul, and others are also being completed.
