00:00This is one of the super typhoons, the Pepito Typhoon.
00:04It is said that it is possible that it will landfall in Catatuanes tonight or tomorrow morning.
00:09It is also expected that there will be heavy rain, wind and storm surge outside the landfall point of the typhoon.
00:17According to the forecast, the situation in the Northeastern Bicol Region is potentially catastrophic and life-threatening.
00:29Good afternoon.
00:30Catatuanes is currently being monitored as to where the Super Typhoon Pepito could landfall.
00:36The sea level is already high there and even in some places in the Bicol Region,
00:39some are afraid of the flood of water from the sea.
00:43Bernadette Reyes was there.
00:51There is no doubt that the people of Virac, Catatuanes woke up early this morning.
00:56This is a taste of the storm surge while the Super Typhoon Pepito is approaching.
01:07Even this firetruck that is rotating to evacuate the residents,
01:11there is almost a flood of water.
01:21There is also a truck driving backwards.
01:24There is already heavy rain in Catatuanes.
01:27The total power shutdown was carried out as a precaution.
01:31According to the DSWD, until this afternoon,
01:34more than 7,000 families or more than 31,000 individuals in Catatuanes were evacuated.
01:43The storm also hit Legazpi, Albay this morning.
01:46It flooded the Legazpi City Boulevard because of the flood.
01:50It's only 6 a.m.
01:55Get on the motorcycle!
01:56In Tiwi, Albay, the residents were afraid of the rapid flooding of water.
02:01In a chapel that is still in ruins, the bodies of the families were carried away.
02:07The flood quickly increased to 20 and entered their houses.
02:11In Polanggi, a mall was full of people who evacuated so that the storm would not reach them.
02:18The flood also hit the bay of Sangay in Camarines Sur.
02:24For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, 24 Hours.
02:31A forced evacuation was carried out in the houses of the residents of Dayat Camarines Norte.
02:36Sandra Aguinaldo was also affected.
02:40Sandra?
02:42Yes, Pia, I'm here now in Bagasbas Beach.
02:45This is a well-known surfing destination.
02:48But now, it can be said that the flood is really bigger because of the Pipito Flood.
02:54And a while ago, yesterday, Pia, the local government carried out a forced evacuation.
03:00Especially, the roads here are expected to reach up to 2 to 3 meters.
03:07It was said that it was a forced evacuation.
03:10We went here and we explained that we were forced to evacuate.
03:15Barangay San Isidro is also included in the flood in Dayat Camarines Norte.
03:19The authorities were forced to evacuate the residents.
03:24It has been two days since they went to this house.
03:28What will you do now?
03:30No, there is nothing to be done.
03:32We will have a vehicle with us so that we can bring all of our belongings here.
03:39In the end, the women were forced to evacuate.
03:42That's why we are like this.
03:43Because sometimes, when the flood hits, they ask for rescue.
03:49The worst thing there is that people passed away.
03:52It's hard to rescue.
03:55Ms. Aurora's family did not want to evacuate because it is more comfortable in the house.
04:00We have animals there.
04:03It was said that it was a forced evacuation.
04:07So, we just followed it.
04:09Ms. Aurora decided to stay in her in-laws' house in the town.
04:14The forced evacuation was carried out in the barangays of Bagasbas, Awitan, Gubat, and Mambalite.
04:21According to Dayat MDRRMO,
04:24it is important for those who live by the sea and flood-prone areas to evacuate before it gets dark
04:29because it is expected that there will be no rain from tonight until tomorrow.
04:33Our eyes can't see, but we are in the inner wall.
04:36We can't breathe.
04:39Fishing is prohibited, but earlier this morning, some people tried to find a way to make a living.
04:46Surfing is a well-known destination of Dayat, but surfing is prohibited because of the typhoon.
04:55Pia, as far as I know, you can see the strong waves right now.
05:02In Marines Sur, particularly in Naga City, the curfew has been in effect since this afternoon until further notice.
05:10According to Mayor Nelson Legacion, everyone must stay in their houses or evacuation centers.
05:17Businesses must also be closed.
05:20Emergency responders, barangay staff, and CDRRMC personnel are not included in the curfew.
05:26According to the Office of Civil Defense,
05:28Katanduanes, Tiwi, Malinaw, Rapu-Rapu, and Legaspi City have experienced a storm surge in Region 5.
05:39That's all for now, Pia.
05:40This is the last report from Dayat.
05:42Pia?
05:44Sandra, we can see the strong winds and the strong waves.
05:47Take care and thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
05:50In Tagkawayan, Quezon, there is a forced evacuation, but there are people who are happy.
05:58And Jun Veneracion is live on the air. Jun?
06:05Ivan, the police are continuously circling the coastal barangays of Tagkawayan, Quezon with them.
06:12They are also calling for other emergency responders to make sure that no residents are left behind
06:17in front of the forced evacuation due to the Pipito storm.
06:24There are people who are sick, old, and children.
06:31They are the first to be evacuated in the middle of the pre-emptive evacuation
06:35in critical places in Tagkawayan, Quezon.
06:37They are carrying personal belongings.
06:39Residents are rushing to the evacuation center in their small vehicles.
06:44It was really heavy, even yesterday.
06:49Ms. Corazon is also with them.
06:51Her brother, who has a bad feeling, was evacuated early.
06:54It's really hard, just like my brother.
06:58It's a typhoon.
07:00Five of her children, who are still minors, were also evacuated.
07:04The youngest is only seven months old.
07:07It's really scary, especially for my small children.
07:11The pre-emptive evacuation will last until 4 p.m.
07:15Authorities are still looking for any residents left behind for the forced evacuation.
07:21If they don't want to do it, and if they want to do it, they really need to evacuate.
07:26Even if we lose our belongings, we can still exchange them,
07:30but I'm talking about our lives.
07:34But there are residents who say that the danger brought by the upcoming typhoon is not insignificant.
07:39They continue to drink and have fun, even though there is a reminder of the forced evacuation.
07:44When the authorities returned, they cheered the group.
07:49We are with you, but there is a reminder of the typhoon.
07:54How can you defend your belongings if you are already drunk?
08:00There was no panic buying, but there was a long line at the ATMs.
08:05We were the first ones to go.
08:07Of course, we should always be ready.
08:08So that we can prepare what we need to buy.
08:13Ivan, it's not raining yet, and the wind is not strong here in Tagkawayan, Quezon.
08:22But there should be no panic buying for the residents,
08:26because this town is one of the places in Quezon
08:29that is now under the signal number 3 due to the typhoon Pipito.
08:32Ivan.
08:33Take care of your news team.
08:35Thank you very much.
08:37June Veneration.
