00:00A few barangays in Batoc, Camarines Sur were also hit by the next wave of Hurricane Christine.
00:05Three people were killed there due to drowning.
00:09Ian Cruz is live on the spot.
00:16Rafi, I'm here in the middle of a road in Batoc, Camarines Sur.
00:21But Rafi, as you can see, there's a house in the middle of the road.
00:24Residents say that this house was originally built in that area, in their flood control area.
00:33But it was hit by a huge wave, Rafi.
00:36That's why even the houses next to it in the coastal area were all destroyed.
00:42Rafi, in their municipality, all the documents were submerged.
00:47That's why the municipality is currently sorting out which documents will be used.
00:54The documents of their local civil registrar were also destroyed.
00:59Rafi, more than 10 barangays in the town of Batoc were also flooded.
01:03According to Domingo Finular, the Executive Assistant of the Mayor of the town,
01:09the communities in Lake Batoc were affected by the flood.
01:13Coastal barangays were affected by the sudden rise in the water level.
01:18Landslides also hit three barangays in the mountainous area.
01:23Rafi, 1,500 barangays were destroyed and 1,000 were damaged.
01:31That's why the residents are hoping for help.
01:35The Rural Health Officer of the town is continuously checking up on the residents,
01:39especially those who are in need and those who have children.
01:41Rafi, there's a shortage of medicines because their RHU building was also submerged.
01:46They are calling on the DOH to send more medicines.
01:49Yesterday, the prophylaxis against leptospirosis was used up.
01:54Only a few pieces of their anti-tetanus vaccine were used for the wounded,
01:58especially now that the residents and three people who were seen dead in this town due to the flood.
02:05According to the residents, the water level is low and it's estimated that it's only one foot per day.
02:11Hopefully, there will be a long-term project to deepen the Bicol River and Lake Bato
02:18and to have a channel to let the water out of Ragay Gulf.
02:23So Rafi, our fellow countrymen are still asking for help here in Bayan ng Bato.
02:28Hopefully, the flood will be solved here.
02:31That's the latest. Back to you Rafi.
02:33Thank you very much and please continue to be careful Ian Cruz.
