00:00The death toll has increased to 125 due to the Christine and Leon floods.
00:06According to NDRMC, in Batangas,
00:09it is possible to fix one of the roads destroyed by the Christine flood within a month.
00:15Live from Agoncillo, Batangas, Maki Pulido, Maki.
00:23You know, Emil, in the latest report of Batangas PDRRMO,
00:2721 roads remain impassable or not passable by vehicles.
00:33Some barangays are even isolated after the part of Talisay-Laurel-Agoncillo Road was destroyed.
00:45At the height of the August flood,
00:47there were branches and trees cut from the mountain.
00:50This part of Talisay-Laurel-Agoncillo Road was destroyed.
00:53This destroyed the town of Agoncillo and the town of Laurel.
00:56Residents say that they cannot cross to Laurel because a part of the road was destroyed.
01:02Because of this, in Agoncillo alone, two barangays and one place are isolated.
01:07DPWH is now building this to pass again.
01:10But according to the workers there, it may take another month.
01:14Because the road was destroyed,
01:16there are two ways for the residents to reach the center of the town of Agoncillo.
01:21From the other side, they can ride a boat or the residents will try to walk on the side of the mountain.
01:29They say that it will be difficult to walk.
01:32We were able to cross by riding a boat.
01:34But it's not a joke to walk here because the branches of trees cut from the mountain are blocking the road.
01:40The branches on the side of the mountain were cut by water, mud and wood.
01:45This is how deep the mud ran.
01:47This vehicle is almost full.
01:49It is also a sad memory for their houses.
01:52On the side of the road, this is the only place that is said to have completed the more than P96 million project of February 14, 2024
02:00for the construction, rehabilitation and slope protection of Talisay-Laurel-Agoncillo Road.
02:06Residents are still allowed to return,
02:09but some are forced to go while there is daylight to look for income.
02:13Beverly is one of them.
02:15She only has P60 left.
02:17She doesn't know what to do for the next few days
02:20because the two boats they are using to look for income were flooded.
02:25We don't have anywhere else to go because we are from Mindoro.
02:30This is the only place where we can look for income.
02:33So this means that you don't have money now?
02:35We don't have money.
02:36The bottom of their house also collapsed, so they can't live there anymore.
02:40When they were told to leave the evacuation center, they can't go home.
02:45It's really hard.
02:47Why is it hard?
02:48Because we don't have money to go home.
02:52We can't live here because the inside is full, but the bottom is empty.
02:57Our children can't go inside.
03:01It's hard.
03:03Why can't they go inside?
03:05Because there's nothing to go through.
03:08And of course, we are in evacuation.
03:10This is also the concern of many residents of Agoncillo that we talked to
03:14because their houses were destroyed by the typhoon.
03:16In total, there are more than 2,000 totally damaged houses in the entire province of Batangas.
03:22It's really hard.
03:24The land is full.
03:25There's nothing left.
03:26There's no place to go.
03:27But the bottom is still there.
03:29Many also lost their livelihoods, like Nelson's floating fish cage,
03:33which was fish-killed.
03:34There are three more inside.
03:35The typhoon also washed away all of his belongings.
03:38That's why the typhoon is really a big challenge.
03:42Our floating fish cage was destroyed.
03:44The fish cage fell to the ground.
03:46Even the fish cage fell to the ground.
03:48I can't see it anymore.
03:49It's all gone.
03:50If the residents are hungry, even their pets,
03:54Beverly hopes that they can get help so that their pets can eat.
04:00Amor La Rosa.
04:06Clearing operations are ongoing,
04:08especially on the roadside of the floating fish cages.
04:11But because they are drying up,
04:13a big problem here, Emil, is the sale of the floating fish cage.
04:16Emil?
04:17Thank you very much.
04:18Maki Pulido.
04:24And for those who will travel to Undaz,
04:26we already know the current situation.
04:29This is Amor La Rosa of the GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
04:32Amor.
04:35Thank you, Ms. Vicky.
04:36The typhoon is getting stronger,
04:38as it is getting closer to the extreme northern Luzon.
04:43The second signal has already reached Batanes,
04:45Babuyan Islands, mainland Cagayan,
04:47northern and eastern portions of Isabela, Apayaw,
04:50northern portions of Calinga and Abra,
04:53as well as Ilocos Norte.
04:56Signal number one,
04:57in the remaining parts of Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya,
05:00remaining parts of Calinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Benguet,
05:04remaining parts of Abra, Ilocos Sur, La Union,
05:07and also in the eastern portion of Nueva Ecija.
05:10Signal number one has also reached Aurora,
05:13northern and eastern portions of Quezon,
05:15along with Polilio Islands, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur,
05:19Catanduanes, Albay, and also in the northern portion of Sorosugon.
05:24As with the aforementioned areas,
05:25the strong wind that is accompanied by rain
05:28is the direct effect of this typhoon.
05:31At a distance of 505 kilometers,
05:33east of Tuguegarao City,
05:35this is the center of the typhoon Leona.
05:38For a long time, the strong wind reached 150 kilometers per hour
05:42and when it hit Papalo, it reached 185 kilometers per hour.
05:46It moved west-northwest at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.
05:52If this typhoon continues to move,
05:54it is possible that it will landfall here on the eastern coast of Taiwan
05:58on the upcoming Thursday.
06:00Next, it will pass through Taiwan Strait
06:02until the Philippine Area of Responsibility is fully released,
06:06possibly on Thursday night or on Friday morning.
06:11The center of the typhoon Leona is also the closest
06:14to Batanes on the upcoming Thursday.
06:16You can see it here in our latest track.
06:19But if the direction changes a little
06:22and it moves to the left or to the right,
06:25there is also a chance that this typhoon Leona will landfall
06:28here in the area of Batanes.
06:31And it is possible that the movement of the typhoon will change
06:34in the next few hours or in the next few days,
06:38so we will continue to monitor.
06:40Meanwhile, what we can see here in our image
06:43is the eye of this typhoon Leona.
06:46And the width of the most circulated areas
06:49as well as the areas that are covered by the trough
06:52or the tip of the typhoon
06:54has also reached other parts of our country.
06:58And since it is still submerged in the sea,
07:00the possibility that it will reach the Super Typhoon Category
07:04is still there, according to the forecast.
07:06Based on the data of Metro Weather,
07:08it will also rain tomorrow.
07:10This is Cagayan, Isabela, Cordillera Region,
07:13Ilocos Provinces, La Union,
07:15as well as some parts of Pangasinan,
07:17as well as the extreme Northern Luzon.
07:20It is really concentrated here,
07:22the strong rains there,
07:24the Batanes and Babuyan Group of Islands.
07:27You can see here on our rainfall map,
07:29the red color, that is really red,
07:31it means that here in Legend, it is heavy, it is intense,
07:34and there is also a pink color,
07:36it means that the torrential,
07:38or almost continuous rains.
07:41Rainfalls are also expected in some parts of Zambales,
07:44Bataan, as well as in Mindoro Provinces,
07:47Palawan, Calabarzona, Bicol Region,
07:49as well as here in Western Visayas,
07:52Panay Island, as well as here in Negros Provinces,
07:55and some parts of Samar and Leyte Provinces.
07:58There is also a chance of rainfalls in some parts of Northern Mindanao,
08:03as well as here in Barm, Caraga,
08:05as well as in some parts of Davao Region.
08:08So, be careful to the residents of the mentioned places.
08:11In Metro Manila, there is a chance of rainfalls
08:14because there is a chance of rain tomorrow,
08:16because it is still here in the effect of Buntot,
08:19here in Baguio, Leon.
08:21For those who will travel across the sea,
08:23it is dangerous to sail in the Eastern Seaboards of Luzon
08:27because it is in a big wave that is still the tip of the storm.
08:32And that is the latest news of our time.
08:34I am Amor La Rosa.
08:35This is the GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
08:38Expect anything, anytime.
08:44Going the extra mile is the cast of the upcoming GMA Afternoon Prime Series
08:48that is getting ready for their taping.

09:04The whole team of the upcoming GMA Afternoon Prime Series
09:08experienced a unique adventure
09:11that is getting ready for their taping.
09:17To arrive at their location,
09:19everyone needed to cross the river of Tanay Rizal.
09:24Everyone was excited
09:26for the lead star of the series,
09:29Herlene Budol.
09:31I will cross all kinds of rivers
09:33just to be here in Binibining Marikid.
09:35Earlier, it was raining heavily.
09:37The river was rising.
09:39So, we were delayed
09:41because, of course,
09:43we don't want to ruin everyone's happiness.
09:47So, we waited for it to calm down
09:49before we fought again.
09:52Herlene Budol joined the jeep.
09:55You can see her.
09:57She's enjoying while the road is bumpy.
09:59Herlene Budol is on the side of the jeep.
10:02One of the first films directed by Joron Limonroy
10:06is the scene of Herlene and Thea Tolentino
10:09as Ikit and Angela.
10:12I feel like I'm Ikit.
10:14I feel like I'm Ikit.
10:18I'm getting the vibes of the place.
10:20Rizal is amazing.
10:21A lot of people are hiding here.
10:23I'm a fan of Rizal.
10:26I thought I knew everything about Rizal.
10:28I didn't know that there are a lot of places
10:31that I haven't discovered yet.
10:34Herlene has been taping for 4 days in a week
10:37for Binibining Marikid.
10:39But she won't complain
10:41because she really likes this project.
10:45She asked for a day off for taping.
10:48I will visit my mother in November
10:51with my fellow countrymen in Hono Rizal.
10:53We have a tradition that our mayors do.
10:57We dance on the streets
10:59so that even if the sun goes down,
11:02we will bring life to their day.
11:04OAR Santiago updated on the showbiz happening.
11:10Unfortunately, a religious festival in Kerala, India
11:14has been cancelled.
11:23People are celebrating
11:25until a part of the temple exploded.
11:30More than 150 people were injured
11:32based on the investigation.
11:34Fireworks used for the firework display
11:37came back
11:39and according to the police,
11:40there is no warrant.
11:42The wounds were brought back to the hospital.
11:47The Supreme Court ordered
11:49that some petitioners
11:51to stop the transfer
11:53to the National Treasury
11:55of the remaining funds of PhilHealth.
11:58The next question is
12:01if this is in accordance with the law.
12:04Salima Refran was able to prove it.
12:07In the visa of the Initial Temporary Restraining Order
12:11of the Supreme Court,
12:13the transfer of the government's
12:15unused funds of PhilHealth
12:17to various projects of the government
12:19is prohibited.
12:20Almost Php90 billion are unused funds.
12:23But the TRO only has
12:25the remaining funds
12:26that is not yet transferred.
12:28The TRO is effective immediately.
12:30The TRO is just really to prevent
12:32the further transfer of more funds
12:34from PhilHealth to the National Treasury.
12:36PhilHealth said that
12:38they have transferred
12:39Php60 billion to the National Treasury
12:42since May.
12:43The TRO has not yet included
12:45the return of the transferred funds
12:47even though it is included
12:48in the request of the petitioners.
12:50Among them is the group Isang Bayan,
12:52Bayan Muna,
12:53and the group of Medical Professionals
12:55and Concerned Citizens,
12:57and Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel.
12:59The Supreme Court has consolidated
13:01or at the same time heard
13:03the petitions of the groups
13:05questioning the constitutionality
13:07or compliance with the Constitution
13:09of the transfer of unused PhilHealth funds.
13:12The oral arguments for this
13:14were established on January 14, 2025.
13:17According to PhilHealth,
13:19this will follow the decision
13:20of the Supreme Court.
13:22They still agree
13:23to provide health protection
13:25through a better benefit package
13:28and availment policy.
13:30The court gave 10 days
13:32for the respondents to comment
13:34as the leaders of the finance department
13:36Congreso and PhilHealth.
13:38The Office of the Solicitor General
13:40respects that the TRO
13:42of the Supreme Court
13:44consults the respondents.
13:46The Department of Finance
13:48also respects this decision.
13:50According to Finance Secretary Ralph Recto,
13:52they will be here soon
13:54and the oral arguments
13:56are being prepared for January
13:58to clarify the issues.

14:04Ekatutok, 24 horas.
14:08Although it's not a direct visit,
14:10some in Visayas are still preparing
14:12for a bad time
14:14that may be followed by a typhoon.
14:16Some residents have already packed
14:18their belongings in case of an emergency.
14:20And Zen Kilantang Sasa
14:22of GMA Regional TV was there.
14:28The level of the Tupuluan River
14:30in Sibalong, Antique is slowly rising.
14:32That's why the residents
14:34are almost sleepless.
14:36They have already packed
14:38their important belongings
14:40in case of an emergency.
14:54In the last typhoon,
14:567,000 residents were affected.
14:58A tree was broken
15:00and DPWH was forced to leave.
15:02Because of the new typhoon,
15:04some areas in the province
15:06were also closed.
15:08Although Antique is not directly affected,
15:10it's possible that it will rain heavily
15:12according to the forecast.
15:14Earlier this morning,
15:16there was a light rain.
15:18I made advisories
15:20to our local counterparts

15:24anticipatory action
15:26or preparedness measures
15:28in anticipation
15:30of the possible adverse effects

15:34Lyon.
15:36In the town of Hamtik,
15:38sea vehicles are also prohibited
15:40from sailing.
