00:00The town of Cabagan in Isabela is now in a state of calamity
00:05due to the heavy rain that was left by the next typhoon.
00:09Some residents have already returned home after evacuating.
00:13But the problem is with the houses they have built.
00:17From Ilagan City, we are live with James Agustin. James?
00:22It was a good time here in the province of Isabela so the residents who evacuated were allowed to return home.
00:32Some corn fields are still submerged in the floodwaters.
00:36Did you read anything there?
00:39Ms. Deseria's house and equipment in Ilagan City, Isabela were covered in thick white
00:44after the next typhoon.
00:47She only returned home after four days of staying in the evacuation center.
00:51My house is really covered in white because of the water that came to our house.
00:57That's why I'm having a hard time right now.
01:00My children can't find a job because of the flood.
01:03Michael also returned home.
01:05He was forced to save his equipment.
01:08I only saved my equipment.
01:10I also took care of the pigs and chickens.
01:13It's hard.
01:14What else can I do?
01:16I have to go back.
01:17There are also trash cans of corn and wood that are being thrown here.
01:27In Barangay Bagong Bayan, a thick white area was also left by the flood in Alma's house.
01:31Their house was submerged in water twice.
01:34This is where the typhoon Christine and Nika passed through.
01:36It's hard, sir.
01:38It's tiring to evacuate.
01:41We have to carry our equipment.
01:44We have to go back.
01:45We have to clean.
01:46It's really hard, sir.
01:47We have to carry our equipment here, sir.
01:50Until now, some farms are still flooded.
01:53But a flood in Ilagan City has not yet passed.
01:57The town of Cabagan declared a state of calamity on Tuesday
02:01because of the effects of the following typhoon.
02:04The agricultural sector was hit the hardest.
02:06The Pinsala reached P22 million.
02:09Most of our farmers were affected.
02:13In Barangay Kasibaragsur, there are corn plants that are still submerged in water
02:17because of the Kagayan River flood.
02:19The two hectares of corn planted by Roel's family, which has been planted for only a few weeks,
02:23is no longer there.
02:24They said that they just borrowed the land.
02:26It's really hard, of course.
02:28My father's farm was flooded twice.
02:31And of course, it will start all over again, sir.
02:34The same goes for the corn planted by Caroline.
02:36To be honest, it's really hard, sir.
02:40Especially if we are just borrowing money.
02:47Of course, our debts will increase.
02:50Our local government unit will provide free seeds and fertilizer.
03:00Meanwhile, the two spillway gates of Magatdam and Patuloy are still open.
03:06That was Elitas from the province of Isabela.
03:09Back to you, Mel.
03:10Thank you very much, James Agustin.
