00:00According to the Philippine Coast Guard, there were more than 5,000 stranded in different parts of the country due to Hurricane Christine.

00:08The town of Tagkawayan in Quezon was also engulfed by the state of calamity.

00:12This is Jun Veneracion.

00:17We need to rescue them because the water level here is very high.

00:22This is my mother.

00:24From night to dawn, the residents of Lopez Quezon have no choice but to return to their homes.

00:31There's another one.

00:32Okay, I'll take care of it.

00:34There's a shark.

00:35Oh no, there's another shark here.

00:38This is the second child that was rescued.

00:42It's time for the enemy.

00:44It's getting darker and there's a flood.

00:46I'm afraid of the water because the water level is high.

00:50That's why I'm nervous.

00:53When day breaks, the rescue operation continues.

00:56There were 400 evacuees in the entire town of Lopez.

01:00Fortunately, we didn't have any reported casualties.

01:05Twelve barangays were affected by the flood.

01:07The water level is low, especially in the lower barangays.

01:11Our water level is up to here.

01:13That's last night.

01:15Yes, last night.

01:16Now, the water level is just up to here.

01:19But the residents are still afraid.

01:22Maybe later, there will be water again.

01:25It's a shame that the bad weather hasn't gone away yet.

01:31The town of Tagkawayan in Quezon was also flooded by the flood.

01:36Floods are everywhere.

01:38More than P100 million pesos were spent on crops and fisheries.

01:43Because of that, the town of Tagkawayan in State of Calamity was submerged by the LGO.

01:48The crops that were supposed to be planted in this field were also wasted

01:52after the flood.

01:55In Lucban, the wind was strong and the flood brought the covered courts in Lucban Elementary School.

02:02A classroom was also damaged when a tree fell.

02:06Many things were damaged and wet.

02:08That's why the teachers are calling for help.

02:11This bush was also partially damaged in San Narciso, Quezon in Tindinang Aragasa ng Tubig.

02:16The driver, conductor, and passengers were saved.

02:21Some passengers were also stranded in Batangas Port.

02:24They were not allowed to swim because of the strong waves.

02:31Passengers were also transferred to the back of the terminal building.

02:35Because it's possible that on Friday or Saturday, the trip will return to normal.

02:39In Pantalan, Batangas PDRRMO raised the level of Batangas Port.

02:45Passengers are looking for a way to continue their trip.

02:49For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jun Velazco, your witness.
