00:00 The number of people who were infected with the Egyptian flood is increasing.
00:05 The government is speeding up its efforts to reach the affected areas.
00:10 We have the latest news from Patrick De Jesus. Yes Patrick.
00:14 Angelique, the number of people who were infected with the Egyptian flood has reached five,
00:21 which is a result of the flood. According to NDRRMC, four people were added to the number of people who were affected by the flood from Cordillera Administrative Region,
00:31 who were victims of the landslide. But the data is still being verified.
00:36 Almost 70,000 families or 300,000 individuals were affected.
00:45 20,000 individuals remained in evacuation centers.
00:50 The family food box and food items worth P10 million were used as aid to the affected residents.
00:58 In the initial assessment, NDRRMC also reported P1.7 million worth of infrastructure.
01:07 Yesterday, NDRRMC and Task Force on Disaster Response were involved,
01:13 which was formed by various government agencies on the ongoing effects of the flood.
01:19 The current hackbacks are being carried out. The government is continuously alerted because of the flood.
01:26 At present, your MDRM OC in Camp Aguinaldo is still on a red alert.
01:33 We will address these challenges to address them more clearly.
01:41 Angelic, DSWD said that the dispatch of additional relief items will continue to the affected areas of the flood,
01:50 especially in the Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley and Cordillera.
01:54 The instruction of our Secretary-General Rex Yutyalian is to continue to alert our field officers to the affected local government units.
02:06 Our Secretariat-General's intention is to obtain the data immediately so that we can clearly base the assistance that we are receiving.
02:16 So that our countrymen can locate the needs of the affected areas.
02:21 If there are needs of our affected individuals that we cannot provide, we will top NDRRMC, AFP, PNP, Coast Guard,
02:35 and other government clusters so that we can help immediately. Our countrymen will not wait for the assistance they need.
02:45 According to NDRRMC, Angelic, there were 109 power outages in the affected areas,
02:54 of which only 25 percent of the supply of electricity was restored.
03:01 The last report, Angelic.
03:05 Yes Patrick. No one mentioned about the agricultural damage in the areas of Cordillera and Cagayan, aside from infrastructure damage.
03:19 Angelic, the Department of Agriculture has a report on the agricultural damage.
03:30 But so far, NDRRMC has not received it.
03:36 Did they say how long our countrymen will remain in evacuation centers?
03:44 Angelic, that depends on the situation. Although the Philippine Area of Responsibility is about to be released,
03:53 the Egy is a low-pressure area that is being monitored by the government.
04:01 According to the report, it is expected that it will be possible to develop as a storm next week.
04:09 If this situation continues, Angelic, especially in Northern Luzon, where there are many affected areas,
04:18 our countrymen may remain in evacuation centers for a long time.
04:25 And Angelic, according to the DA, the agricultural damage was P53.1 million in the regions of Cordillera, Calabarzon, Mimaropa and Caraga.
04:37 That is the situation of the Egy.
04:41 All right. Thank you very much Patrick De Jesus.
