00:00Central Luzon was hit by a typhoon yesterday after it hit the Bicol region, Aurora and Quezon.
00:20Let's check on the situation in Nueva Ecija with the first live news from James Agustin.
00:30Good morning to the evacuation center. Residents who fled to other cities in Nueva Ecija passed through Magdamag.
00:37Yesterday afternoon and last night, the typhoon Pepito hit here in the province.
00:49The strong wind and heavy rain brought by the typhoon Pepito was felt in the town of Bongabon, Nueva Ecija around 2 p.m.
00:57It was as if the trees were dancing, even the power cables.
01:01A few blocks of establishments collapsed.
01:05There were also tents that were damaged.
01:07A shop on the side of the road was damaged.
01:09The town of Bongabon has been exposed to strong winds for more than an hour.
01:13In this area, the tents' tents were removed.
01:17One of the rides was broken because of the strong winds.
01:22It rained heavily at 5 p.m.
01:26The wind was also very strong.
01:28This part of the road was even flooded.
01:315 out of 28 barangays in the town are flood-prone areas that are monitored by the authorities.
01:37It also rained heavily last night in Palayan City.
01:42In Cabanatuan City, the wind was very strong.
01:4613 barangays are being monitored.
01:50This is one of the evacuation centers in Cabanatuan City.
01:56This is an integrated school where residents from Rizdalis, Bonifacio, and Isla were evacuated.
02:04More than 600 families and 1,700 individuals were evacuated.
02:09This morning, we noticed that the number of people being evacuated is increasing.
02:15The number of people being evacuated is increasing because the water level in their area is rising.
02:23I'm James Agustin from Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, for GEMA Integrated News.
02:29James, you said that the number of evacuees going to the evacuation center is increasing.
02:37Is the supply enough for the people who are being evacuated to the evacuation center?
02:49Yes, Susan, we can say that the supply is enough.
02:51Aside from this covered court, classrooms were also opened here in the school so that residents won't have to wait in line.
02:59I noticed that some people were evacuated yesterday because the pre-emptive evacuation was carried out.
03:04However, some residents were only able to arrive this morning.
03:09They said that the water level in their area was only up to Bewang.
03:14But now, it's more than a thousand.
03:16James, if you know, is there a place in Nueva Ecija where there is still no supply of electricity until this time?
03:24Susan, until last night, we are trying to get the supply of electricity back to the people who were evacuated.
03:34In our province, Bungabon, there are parts where there is still no supply of electricity from 2 p.m. yesterday until last night.
03:43Thank you very much and take care, James Agustin.
