00:00In other news, many residents of Camarena Sur are still struggling with the flood that hasn't subsided for almost a week
00:06after the Christine Flood hit Manalasa.
00:08Some cars that were hit by the flood haven't been able to leave, so they're stuck in the middle of the traffic.
00:15From Naga City, Camarena Sur, Saksila, Ian Cruz.
00:20Ian?
00:22Pia, our countrymen here in Camarena Sur are working hard to recover from the effects of the Christine Flood.
00:33All of us were drowned.
00:37My daughter's house was also damaged.
00:42We don't have anything to eat here.
00:45All of our clothes were drowned.
00:48Emma Abariento, a resident of Camarena Sur, was also affected by the Christine Flood.
00:54She was at the top of the house that was hit by the Christine Flood.
00:57She was only able to reach her house yesterday.
01:01We went to the town of Gainza, where we met this family in the middle of the flood.
01:06They need to send their 8-month-old daughter to the hospital, but they were not able to bring her to the hospital.
01:13She asked the government for help.
01:17I hope that our countrymen will be prepared for this kind of situation.
01:21In the town of Milaor, the flood is still high.
01:24A lot of people are using boats to enter the barangays.
01:28A lot of people are also waiting for water and food on the side of the road.
01:33The flood is still raging in some places.
01:35That's why a lot of people are still on the second floor of their houses.
01:38What do you need? Water, food, everything is here.
01:42In the barangay Flor Delis, we met Mang Edgardo
01:46because the highway from the flood has opened.
01:48Next to the Maharlika Highway is the Mistula of Langsalas.
01:51That's where Alan fed his daughter, Samuel.
01:54It's like we can get out of the water.
01:56It's like we can sit.
01:58Grandma Rosita Salvadoro has been on the second floor for a week.
02:02She's addicted to food and water.
02:04They say it's their way of living.
02:06We feed ourselves.
02:08Even though we're old, we eat a little.
02:10As long as there's food for the kids.
02:13Milaor is one of the cities with a lot of cars and motorcycles that have drowned
02:17due to the high tide.
02:19A lot of people are now composing their cars.
02:22Richard doesn't care about the price.
02:25He's also a help to the flood victims.
02:28Just two dollars, so it's cheap.
02:30So they don't have to spend too much.
02:35He's also a help.
02:36One of the problems here in the traffic flow
02:38when it comes to the city of Milaor
02:41It's just one lane of the road that goes through here.
02:44A lot of cars are stuck on the side of the road.
02:50This is their highway.
02:52So if they can remove the stuck cars,
02:55there will be a big difference in the speed of the cars here.
03:00In Naga City, there are more than 3 kilometers of trucks
03:04and other cars going to Manila
03:06but they can't cross because of the Maharlika Highway.
03:10From Manila to Matnog, it's already open.
03:13Even so, because of the many stranded,
03:16we are controlling the entrance
03:19because we are prioritizing relief goods
03:22and the immediate needs of our victims.
03:25As a help to the refugees,
03:27the GMA Kapuso Foundation in Naga City created a feeding program.
03:31500 residents from 3 barangays were fed in Kapuso Soup Kitchen.
03:39In Joveliar, Albay,
03:41more than 2,000 residents are still in the evacuation centers.
03:45Some houses were destroyed
03:47when the river overflowed
03:49like the house of Mang Dominador.
03:51Fortunately, he was invited by his wife to have coffee outside the house.
03:56I went back to the other side
03:58and when I turned around,
04:00my house was gone.
04:02She said,
04:04My house is gone.
04:05I don't have anything to use.
04:07My house is new.
04:09I don't have anything.
04:11It's hard to provide aid to some towns like Libon.
04:14There is no clearing operation in their barangay yet.
04:17There are gasoline tanks that are running out
04:20of oil supply.
04:22Even bread in their bakery is running out.
04:25Some parts of Lalawigan still don't have electricity.
04:28The line of electricity is continuously being composed
04:30especially in the towns of Tiwi and Malinaw.
04:37Pia, in these moments,
04:39we are here at Maharlika Highway in Naga.
04:41That direction, Pia,
04:43is the line of vehicles
04:45towards Manila and of course,
04:47it will go here to Naga and Bicol.
04:49As of now, we can see, Pia,
04:51that the vehicles are more continuous
04:53because our news is that
04:55the clearing operation of DPWH
04:57and other agencies is ongoing.
04:59That's why, as of now,
05:01the vehicles are moving faster here.
05:03Although, Pia, most of the vehicles
05:05that are continuously passing through here
05:07are still there in the town of Pili.
05:09That's the latest from Naga City
05:11for GMA Integrated News.
05:13I am Ian Cruz, your eyewitness.
