00:00 To get updates on the ongoing situation in Valenzuela, we will be joined live by Susan Enriquez.
00:05 Susan.
00:06 We are now here in one of the houses.
00:12 As you can see, there is no fence inside.
00:15 But the residents here need to evacuate because they might be affected by the landslide in Marangay Mapulanglupa, Valenzuela City.
00:26 This is one of the houses. But if you go out here, you can see the houses are covered with a piece of tin.
00:39 This big tree is the first to fall.
00:44 The tree fell and the houses that are in this part of Marangay Mapulanglupa, Valenzuela City, were damaged.
00:58 The people of the rescue team of Marangay Mapulanglupa are here to see what they can do to save the affected residents.
01:09 Although the residents here were brought to evacuation centers.
01:13 Mr. Agudo is here. He is the head of the rescue team here in Marangay Mapulanglupa, Las Piñas.
01:22 M. Lu, please tell us how exactly this happened.
01:26 Because it is still raining here, the rain is still heavy.
01:31 It has been raining for more than a week here, just like what we have experienced in other parts of the country.
01:37 M. Lu, how did this happen?
01:39 And this is what we saw in Pinzala.
01:42 At around 8, ma'am.
01:44 Yesterday?
01:45 Yes, yesterday.
01:46 At around 8, we felt that the land was shaking.
01:53 There was shaking.
01:54 Then, at 9 in the morning, we received a call that there was a reported earthquake here.
02:04 M. Lu, this earthquake was caused by the houses. We saw the wall. You gave the tree and the wall collided.
02:12 They collapsed at the same time.
02:14 Yes, ma'am. It was like a domino effect.
02:16 Domino effect. And the residents, you said it was at 8 in the morning.
02:19 Yes, ma'am.
02:20 When this happened, where were the residents at that time?
02:23 They were at their homes, ma'am. Others were outside.
02:26 So, the reported damage here was you? We did not get any more damage?
02:30 Only the injured were in the orthopedic.
02:34 Then, our evacuees were at 11 in 3S, Papulanlupa.
02:40 The rest were in the old barangay hall of Barangay Ugong.
02:44 So, what we saw here, this is a long house.
02:48 Who were the evacuees here? Was this the one on the side?
02:52 What is this? Is this a vacant lot? Is this a river? What is this? It's a bit deep. What is this?
02:57 It's a vacant lot, ma'am. It was just built by the residents.
03:01 But it's a bit deep, right? Yes, ma'am.
03:05 So, the ones who were here, the ones who were on the line here, the ones who were here, were they evacuated?
03:12 Yes, ma'am. We immediately assisted the residents, ma'am.
03:17 Then, we immediately brought them to the evacuation center, ma'am.
03:21 What would be their advice? Would they allow them to come back here now,
03:28 considering that what we saw here, because of the continuous rain, it will get softer.
03:35 What would be the effect of the residents here?
03:39 Later, ma'am. Our mayor and city engineering will assist them if this place is still safe to build or to live.
03:50 Thank you. Thank you, M. Lua Godo. He is the head of the rescue of the barangay Mapulang Lupa, Valenzuela City.
03:56 And as we can see, the land is really soft, just like in other places.
04:01 So, we have reminders if you live on the sides of rivers, mountains, or in places like this.
04:09 Because of the continuous rain, we have been in continuous rain for almost two weeks,
04:13 we will be careful and we will know the dangers that will befall us if we live in such places.
04:19 Anyway, they are still looking for rescue teams, if there are any people who can be saved,
04:26 to be given to the affected families.
04:28 But of course, as ma'am said, the people who will be assisted here, if they are allowed to come back,
04:33 are the LGUs of Valenzuela, the mayor and maybe the barangay officials.
04:39 They will be the ones to assist if the affected residents are safe to come back here.
04:43 We here at GMA Capuso will be giving relief goods to the affected residents.
04:50 We will be giving relief goods to 27 families.
04:54 They were separated in two evacuation centers, the affected families,
04:59 in the earthquake that happened to some families here in the barangay Mapulang Lupa in Valenzuela City.
05:05 From here, let's go back to the studio.
05:11 Thank you very much Susan Enriquez.
