00:13This is brought to you live by Denise Abante of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Southern Tagalog. Denise.

00:21Mel, it is still difficult for some residents who are affected by the typhoon to get out of their homes here in the province of Quezon.

00:30They are now calling for help from the government.

00:34The roof of a house has collapsed.

00:40A tree fell and white ash fell from the river.

00:44This is the aftermath of the typhoon in some homes in Lucena City.

00:49Here in Barangay Cota, Lucena City, more than 24,000 residents are affected by the widespread flooding caused by the typhoon.

00:58For the first time, this river overflowed, so it entered some houses of water that became a source of flooding here in Purok Matahimik Island.

01:07Ms. Linda was injured in her leg after being hit by the typhoon.

01:14She has been wearing clothes since last Saturday.

01:17She has nothing to replace because all of her belongings were submerged in water.

01:21She is asking for help and assistance for them.

01:25It is really difficult. I don't want to die.

01:28I don't want to experience hardship.

01:30I will do everything.

01:32There is nothing else that can help me.

01:34We received a lot of help.

01:36What I want to happen now is that we will have more toothbrushes,

01:41clothes, and underwear.

01:46We are still not able to buy them.

01:48Ms. Marvina's husband is removing thick white ash.

01:51All of their belongings and clothes were also submerged in water.

01:54Their son was supposed to graduate tomorrow, so they were forced to remove their clothes,

01:58but they drowned because of the flood.

02:01Of course, this is sad. I don't know what to do.

02:05Please help us.

02:07Our belongings were washed here in Lucena.

02:09My two children will graduate soon.

02:12If only we have money, that will be fine.

02:14Even for us, we did not expect that the situation in Barangay Kota would be affected this much.

02:21This is the first time that the situation in Barangay Kota has risen this much.

02:25Earlier this morning, GMA Capuso Foundation distributed food packs to residents in Barangay Kota,

02:31including Ms. Linda and Ms. Marvina.

02:34This is a big help for those who were lost because of the flood.

02:38Lucena City continues to distribute aid to affected residents.

02:43For now, Lucena City is in a state of calamity.

02:46And a few more towns in the 1st and 2nd districts of Quezon Province.

02:50According to the Quezon PDRRMO, more than 3,600 families or 1,000 individuals were affected by the flood in the province.

03:02In Mauban, Quezon, the heavy rain again today.

03:06In Sitio Baling-Balingan, in Barangay Daungan,

03:09the damaged houses were swept away by the flood.

03:12The boats were swept away by the strong waves.

03:15And the garbage was dumped from the sea.

03:18Father Juan's house was made of wood and iron, along with the damaged house.

03:23His fishing boat was also not saved.

03:26I hope that I can be of help so that I can recover.

03:30So that I can help the boat again.

03:33It's all for me. I'm a single man on the boat.

03:36So that I can find a house again.

03:38The barangay is very grateful that the damaged barge was brought to the deep part of the sea

03:44in the wake of the typhoon last Sunday.

03:52Mel, the provincial government of Quezon continues to conduct relief operations

03:57to the affected residents in the province.

03:59That's the latest from Quezon. Back to you.

04:03Thank you very much.
