00:00We are all in this together, together we can do it, together we can do it!
00:08We are all in this together, together we can do it, together we can do it!
00:38...and Coast Guard District, Bicol.
00:41And in Caramoran, Catanduanes, four children were killed in the landslide, including three children.
00:48Almost a million houses and houses were cut off according to the Department of Energy.
00:54Mga Kapuso, we are all in this together, together we can do it, together we can do it!
01:01And just last night, the Office of the Executive Secretary announced that there will be no admission to all schools and government offices for the whole of next Monday due to Hurricane Christine.
01:14But the operations of the offices that are responsible for responding to the situation will continue.
01:19And for the latest from Naga City, Camarines Sur, please welcome John Consulta.
01:25John?
01:26John?
01:28Pia, the weather is fine here in Naga City, but Hurricane Christine left a bad omen.
01:41Mga Kapuso, we are all in this together, together we can do it, together we can do it!
01:44A man is holding on to a tree so that the heavy rain won't hit the Navua-Camarines Sur.
01:51At 9 in the morning, the offloader called for rescue.
01:53The man was in the jeep before 2 in the afternoon.
01:57The rain also reached the town of Bato.
02:01Only a few houses were left without water.
02:05The rain is widespread throughout the town.
02:08The roads are flooded.
02:12Many residents are struggling to get out of their houses.
02:16Residents were forced to climb to the rooftop of the third floor of their house in Barangay Triangulo, Naga City last night.
02:24According to the offloader, they were also called to join their neighbors.
02:28The flood reached the second floor of their houses.
02:32The flood is rampant on several roads in the province.
02:35Due to the strong flow of water, their motorcycles and e-trikes can no longer reach the riverbed.
02:41Many asked for help from the rescue units.
02:43The water level in this subdivision is high in Naga City.
02:47They were only allowed to taste the food because of the high level of permission they will receive.
02:54At sunset, this is what happened to the residents.
02:58The vehicles, SUVs, and cars were stacked like matchboxes.
03:04The residents here said that because of the heavy rain,
03:09there was a flash flood.
03:13The vehicles that came from Roon, in the first place,
03:18were all pulled up and brought to this area.
03:23They were all stacked here.
03:25Some of the vehicles were already floating.
03:29That's why we tried to pull them out.
03:33We tried to pull the cars that were floating.
03:35First of all, the river swelled.
03:40The concrete fence was broken.
03:45Because of that, the water flowed into the subdivision.
03:51It turned out that around 30% of the entire territorial jurisdiction of Naga was flooded.
04:00Around 70% of our population was affected or experienced flooding for the first time.
04:11This is unprecedented.
04:13All of the houses were flooded to the point of their necks.
04:17They were all covered in white.
04:19That's why they were forced to climb up to the second floor to be rescued.
04:22According to Naga LGU, even though they are often flooded when there is a flood,
04:25this is the first time they experienced a heavy downpour
04:30caused by the Christine Flood in almost 24 hours without a break.
04:34By around 2 o'clock or 1 o'clock in the morning,
04:38we had accumulated 700 mm of rainfall.
04:43Meanwhile, the normal or monthly average rainfall of Naga is around 230-235 mm.
04:52In other words, it was almost 2.5 months of equivalent rainfall in just 24 hours.
05:00What happened in Lungsod ng Naga is very much similar to what happened in Metro Manila in Ondoy.
05:07We are used to floods up to Bewang.
05:10That's why we prepared heavy equipment for our trucks.
05:17But what happened was not good.
05:21Even our 6x6 trucks were not able to reach the rescue areas.
05:34For now, Naga needs a lot of equipment to recover,
05:38especially since their evacuees reached 30,000.
05:42We need additional rescue equipment.
05:44We need additional rescue boats.
05:47We also need food.
05:49Most of our families are now locked up because they are still drowning in the flood.
05:56Of course, we also need housing equipment
05:59because there are a lot of houses that will need to be built.
06:03Floods in Pio Duran, Albay are also high and strong.
06:07Just like in Libon, rescue operations are difficult.
06:12More than 100 residents need to be rescued.
06:15The level of flooding in Libon is the highest compared to the previous floods, according to their mayor.
06:26In Barangay Borabud, residents are still drowning while watching the landslides in their houses.
06:33No one was hurt, but less than 10 houses were damaged.
06:38Landslides in the town of Ginabatan are also happening side by side.
06:42Some flood control projects in the town were also destroyed.
06:46Some vehicles were submerged in sand and stones from the volcano Mayud.
06:51A 35-year-old man in Ligao City was also drowned in the landslides.
06:57The man was killed while some of his relatives were injured.
07:00A few days ago, a landslide occurred in Barangay Caramoran, Catanduanes.
07:04Liza Desilio's house was flooded and she was unable to do anything but cry.
07:10While she was working in Quezon City,
07:14Liza's 7-year-old daughter, her twin brother, and two nephews were also killed.
07:20I just talked to my nephew yesterday.
07:24I just talked to my nephew yesterday.
07:28Yes, it was difficult.
07:30It was early in the morning.
07:32Suddenly, my nephew called and said,
07:35Luian is dead. My brother was also killed.
07:38Liza was saved but she did not know the condition of her father,
07:43another brother, and two nephews who were rushed to the hospital.
07:47Liza wanted to go home, but she could not do it.
07:50The ship was damaged.
07:53I just wanted to go home.
07:56I just wanted to go home because my family is there. I love them.
08:05Naga City LGU confirmed that they have received reports of casualties.
08:12But according to them, they are still in the validation stage.
08:17They need to confirm the PNP.
08:21Live here in Naga City for GMA Integrated News,
08:25I am John Consulta, your witness.
08:29In the province of Isabela, the Christine Flood is expected to landfall
08:33before the Northern Luzon.
08:35And the preparation of Aurora continues.
08:38From Kasiguran Aurora, witness, Katrina Son.
08:42Katrina?
08:44Pia, several towns here in the province of Aurora
08:49are now experiencing strong winds accompanied by heavy rains.
08:54Here in the town of Kasiguran Aurora, where we are now,
08:58the winds are also strong, accompanied by heavy rains.
09:03Some of the barangays here are also without electricity.
09:07Meanwhile, Pia, the preparation is being carried out
09:10for the Northern Luzon to prepare for the landfall of the Christine Flood.
09:21The strong winds are already felt, just like in a large part of Isabela.
09:25Even though the Christine Flood is not yet hitting the ground,
09:28some rivers cannot pass because of flooding.
09:32In Ilagan City, their animals and goods are brought to a safe place by this family.
09:38Because their house might be destroyed by the strong winds.
09:43We will go home, ma'am, because the river is already big.
09:46Even though the Palayans in Rojas, Isabela, are already submerged in the flood.
09:50A fisherman is still using a boat in Gamu, Isabela,
09:56to feed his family.
09:58Some residents of different towns in Isabela have already fled.
10:03Because the winds are strong, ma'am.
10:07Also, it is not safe in the house.
10:11I have a baby.
10:13In Dagupan City, the strong winds are already felt,
10:18so it is not surprising that some fishermen have fled.
10:21I am very worried.
10:24I am worried that they will be found.
10:28I don't want anything bad to happen to them.
10:32The authorities also strictly prohibit swimming in the sea.
10:36We should not go to the sea in Pangasinan
10:41to avoid the disaster.
10:43In Linggayen, Pangasinan,
10:45it seems like the coconut trees are dancing in the baywalk
10:49because of the strong winds that are felt there.
10:51Almost no one can be seen walking in the area.
10:54The waves are also strong in the sea in Binmalay, Pangasinan,
10:58accompanied by strong winds.
11:01Some fishermen brought their boats to a safe place.
11:06The spillway bridge in San Francisco Aglipay, Quirino
11:09could not pass because of the flood.
11:12The spillways of Adalam Dam are open.
11:15The Bustos Dam in Bulacan also lost water.
11:19This was done as a preparation for the next possible flood.
11:24In the briefing of President Bongbong Marcos
11:26with other government agencies,
11:28he ordered the loss of water in the dams
11:31to reduce the possible flood.
11:33Maybe what we can do is do a measured response.
11:39Even if the water level is not high,
11:43we should lower the water level
11:46so that the downstream communities are not affected.
11:52We should lower the water level
11:55so that when it rains heavily,
11:58we can lower the water level.
12:02At 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
12:04the San Roque Dam lost water.
12:06At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Ambuklao Dam.
12:09The Binga and Magat Dam also lost water.
12:12The President also said that the priority is to reach
12:15those in need of rescue
12:17as long as the government's air, sea, and land assets
12:20are safe to go to.
12:25PIA from 9 barangays is now in 12 barangays
12:29under the pre-emptive evacuation.
12:32As of 8 p.m. earlier,
12:34116 families or more than 300 individuals
12:38are in the evacuation sites.
12:40Those outside evacuation
12:42or those who will stay or sleep
12:45with their family or friends
12:47are in the 87 families or 270 individuals.
12:52And live from here in KaSiguran Aurora
12:54for GMA Integrated News,
12:55I am Katrina Son, your witness.
12:59Before the witness,
13:01more than 5,000 stranded in different parts of the country
13:04due to Hurricane Christine,
13:06according to the Philippine Coast Guard.
13:08The town of Tagkawayan in Quezon
13:10is also under the State of Calamity.
13:12Witness, June Veneracion.
13:16We need to rescue them
13:18because the water level here is too high.
13:21There's my mother.
13:23There's my mother.
13:25From night to dawn,
13:27no one is able to rescue the stranded residents
13:30in Lopez, Quezon.
13:32There's another one.
13:34I'll take care of it.
13:36There's a baby.
13:38There's another baby here.
13:40It's the second child
13:42that was rescued.
13:44It's night time,
13:46especially when it's dark and flooded.
13:48I'm afraid of the water
13:50because the water level is too high.
13:52We're very nervous.
13:54When the sun rose,
13:56the rescue operation continued.
13:58400 evacuees arrived in the entire town of Lopez.
14:01Fortunately,
14:03we didn't have any reported casualties.
14:0612 barangays were affected by the flood.
14:08The water level is low,
14:10especially in the lower barangays.
14:12Our water level is up to here.
14:14That's last night?
14:16Yes, last night.
14:18Now that the water level is low,
14:20it's only up to here.
14:22The water level is still low.
14:24Maybe later,
14:26the water level will rise again.
14:28I'm afraid that we won't be able to leave for a while.
14:32The town of Tagkawayan in Quezon
14:34was also hit by a typhoon.
14:37The flood
14:39cost more than P100 million pesos
14:42to farms and fisheries.
14:44Because of that,
14:46the town of Tagkawayan in the State of Calamity
14:48was submerged by the LGO.
14:49The crops that should be planted in this field
14:51were also wasted
14:53after the typhoon hit.
14:55In Lucban,
14:57the wind was strong
14:59and the typhoon brought the covered courts
15:01to Lucban Elementary School.
15:03A classroom was also damaged
15:05when a tree fell.
15:07A lot of things were damaged and wet.
15:09That's why teachers are calling for help.
15:11This bus was also partially damaged
15:13in San Narciso, Quezon
15:15in the Tindinang Aragasanang Tubig.
15:17The driver,
15:19driver and passengers were also damaged.
15:22Some passengers were also stranded
15:24in Batangas Port
15:26due to the strong waves.
15:31Passengers were also transferred
15:33to the back of the terminal building.
15:35Because it's possible that
15:37the journey to the port will return
15:39on Friday or Saturday,
15:41Batangas Port's PDRRMO
15:43was raised
15:45in search of passengers
15:47who can continue their journey.
15:49For GMI Integrated News,
15:51I'm Jun Velazco,
15:53your witness.
15:55The MMDA assured
15:57that pumping stations are working
15:59since the typhoon Christine
16:01hit Metro Manila.
16:03In Pililya, Rizal,
16:05some residents fled
16:07because of the fear
16:09that they might experience
16:11the same typhoon again.
16:13Witness, Marie Zumal.
16:16The water level here is high
16:17compared to Barangay Atmos.
16:19Back then, the water level was high.
16:21The water level rose rapidly
16:23in this part of the Pililya River
16:25in Barangay Hulo in Pililya, Rizal.
16:27The high water level
16:29followed by heavy rainfall
16:31in the area.
16:33The water level reached a critical level
16:35of almost 15 meters
16:37in the so-called river.
16:41That's why the residents
16:43of the barangay
16:44went around the houses
16:46to encourage the residents
16:48near the river to flee early.
16:50It's very difficult
16:52to reach the station
16:54at night.
16:56Some residents of Barangay Hulo
16:58fled early
17:00because of the fear
17:02that they might experience
17:04the same typhoon again.
17:06I don't want to experience
17:08the typhoon Integ again.
17:10I was pregnant then.
17:12They rescued us
17:14and two of us died.
17:16But others chose
17:18to leave their homes
17:20because the rain stopped
17:22and there was no flood.
17:24The authorities continued
17:26to guard the river
17:28and now the typhoon is getting closer.
17:30They are preparing vehicles
17:32that can be used
17:34if they need to be rescued.
17:36It's been less than 20 minutes
17:38and the typhoon is already big.
17:40When we monitored,
17:42it was only 6 meters.
17:44The residents of Barangay Hulo
17:46have enough supplies of food,
17:48blankets and blankets
17:50at the evacuation center
17:52for those who fled.
17:54In Barangay Bagong Silangan
17:56in Quezon City,
17:58the Marikina River is strong.
18:00The MMDA hopes that the typhoon
18:02will not affect the Metro Manila.
18:04Today, the MMDA sent
18:06a rescue team
18:08consisting of up to 60 people
18:10to Bicol.
18:12We can send them
18:14to Bicol.
18:16We are preparing
18:18in case the NCR hits.
18:20Half of them will be left here
18:22until we can ensure
18:24that the NCR is safe.
18:28If the Emergency Operations Center
18:30works,
18:32all the local authorities
18:34in Metro Manila
18:36will be connected
18:38for quick coordination.
18:40If the MMDA agrees,
18:42their pumping stations
18:44will be set up.
18:46Hopefully,
18:48the heavy rain
18:50in Metro Manila
18:52will not affect
18:54the water supply.
18:56For GEMA Integrated News,
18:58I'm Maris Umali.
18:59Succeed!

21:45Some houses in Hipapat, Eastern Samar

21:52Marion Rivera
21:54called for help
21:56for the women affected
21:58by Hurricane Christine.
22:00Marion would like to thank
22:02those who want to watch
22:04the story of Teacher Emmy in Balota.
22:06Watch Obe Carampel.
22:11Stop!
22:14Certified top grosser
22:16is the movie Balota
22:18which was directed by
22:20Kapuso Primetime Queen Marion Rivera
22:22in its opening week in cinemas.
22:24In nearly 200 cinemas,
22:26many screenings of the movie
22:28were sold out.
22:30My heart is beating fast
22:32because so many Filipinos
22:34supported this movie.
22:36For more people to watch,
22:38especially teachers and students,
22:40the movie Balota
22:42received a special rate.
22:44Aside from the theatrical run
22:46here in the country,
22:48Balota premiered
22:50in the 44th Hawaii International Film Festival.
22:52Marion was overwhelmed
22:54by the support
22:56of her friends and celebrities.
22:58Now on its second week,
23:00and despite the bad weather,
23:02there are still many people
23:04who continue to watch
23:06Balota's movies.
23:08That's why Teacher Emmy
23:10is a must-watch
23:12for all moviegoers.
23:14There's really a storm right now
23:16and there are many people
23:18who are on the streets.
