00:00In Agoncillo, Batangas, some residents who were saved from the storm Christine are still afraid.

00:06Some residents do not stop looking for their missing relative.

00:11Darlene Cai has the news.

00:16This is how wide the storm Christine hit the town of Agoncillo in Batangas.

00:21The former land and plants are now full of water and moss.

00:26The landslide was caused by the storm Christine on Wednesday.

00:30Because of the landslide, the road that crossed the town of Agoncillo and Laurel was destroyed.

00:36Residents have to continue to turn around and go through the moss and water

00:40just to cross the other part of Agoncillo.

00:43At the end of the destroyed road, we reached Margarito.

00:48He has been looking for his 74-year-old father, Florencio, for four days.

00:54He went to his house, but there was still no flood when he went there.

01:00When he came back, he was already there.

01:02Every day, he goes around the town just to see his father.

01:06He is now here next to the swamp because he might have a broken body.

01:10It's really painful. I said, even if he dies, we will put him in a good place.

01:16Until now, five people have been missing in the town of Agoncillo, according to the local government.

01:22Everything was destroyed because of the landslide.

01:26Here in Barangay Subic, Ilaya, a large piece of land was filled with trees and rocks.

01:32All of that was also hit by the landslide.

01:34The two houses here were washed out.

01:36The vehicles were hit by several meters and are now stuck in the debris of the land around.

01:42It's just a miracle that the family of Jowel was saved.

01:46The wall of their house was destroyed.

01:48A large piece of land passed through.

01:50All of their equipment was also destroyed.

01:52Fortunately, they were able to climb up to the roof.

01:55I'm also scared.

01:57I can't sleep because I'm also nervous.

02:03The LGU carried out a pre-emptive evacuation, but they did not expect the magnitude of the impact of the landslide.

02:10It's really unprecedented.

02:13There is flooding in their area, but it's limited.

02:16It can reach up to Sakong.

02:19But now, it's different.

02:21There is still no supply of electricity and water in a large part of the town.

02:25Yesterday, residents from Barangay Bilibinwang and Manyaga were continuously evacuated.

02:30They were isolated and separated because the road was damaged.

02:33They will be added to almost 2,000 evacuees in eight evacuation centers here in Agoncillo.

02:39This is the area of Bilibinwang Elementary School.

02:42Almost half of the school was covered in mud.

02:45The chairs and other equipment were also damaged.

02:48The principal, Gina Ponsalan, called for help in cleaning the school.

02:54We really need food, rice, and water.

03:00We still have a lot of barangays without electricity and water.

03:05We need water for general use, drinking water, and food for our fellowmen.

03:14Darlene Kay, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
