00:00:00Music

00:00:08Good evening Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:00:11I am here live in the Rojas District, Luzon, Quezon.

00:00:16One of the flooding areas of Luzon.

00:00:22The entire Metro Manila is under state of calamity.

00:00:25We are reporting this live on the GMA Network.

00:00:31We will be following the weather forecasts up to the regions.

00:00:39GMA Integrated News and GMA Regional TV are on full force in different parts of Metro Manila,

00:00:46even in the provinces of Luzon,

00:00:48to bring you the latest news regarding the widespread flooding of Super Bagyong Karina and Habagat.

00:00:57And here, Kapuso, in my position, in the Rojas District,

00:01:01the effects of Habagat, which was intensified by Super Bagyong Karina, are very evident.

00:01:07Residents were evacuated one by one.

00:01:12In this area, it is just near Arnetta Avenue, Binaharit.

00:01:23This is the road that leads to Arnetta Avenue, Banahue.

00:01:28At this time, it is already midday.

00:01:32In this situation, definitely, no one will be able to pass any kind of vehicle.

00:01:41Because of the constant rain, the flooding of this part of the Barangay Rojas District in Quezon City is at its peak.

00:01:50I will just show you, Kapuso, that it has almost stopped.

00:01:55Here in Tulay, where I am standing right now,

00:02:00our fellowmen, who are on my side,

00:02:04are trying their best to get plastic bags like this one,

00:02:08and maybe to earn some money.

00:02:10It is bad now compared to the past few days.

00:02:13Yes.

00:02:14The water level is very high now.

00:02:16Yes.

00:02:17Compared to the past few days, the water level is very high now.

00:02:21Yes.

00:02:22Because last afternoon, it was only up to Bewang.

00:02:25Up to Bewang? Now?

00:02:26Now, it is up to two people.

00:02:30This is the situation now in the area of Kaliraya and Kampuput.

00:02:35From Tulay, where I am standing right now, I just moved a few blocks.

00:02:40Some of our fellowmen are still inside their houses.

00:02:44Some of our fellowmen are still inside their houses.

00:02:47They are not asking for rescue yet, but look at this.

00:02:52The water level has almost reached the roof of the house.

00:02:58We were able to rescue a family from the second floor of the house.

00:03:04We were able to rescue a family from the second floor of the house.

00:03:09We were able to rescue a family from the second floor of the house.

00:03:16Fortunately, there is a volunteer group here in the house.

00:03:20A while ago, a senior citizen came out.

00:03:23A while ago, a senior citizen came out.

00:03:25They are afraid that the water level will rise.

00:03:29This is the water level.

00:03:31How many more?

00:03:33How many more?

00:03:34Two more.

00:03:35Two more?

00:03:36Two more.

00:03:37Two more.

00:03:38They need to be rescued.

00:03:49Sir, why did you decide to rescue them?

00:03:51Sir, why did you decide to rescue them?

00:03:52Because the water level is rising.

00:03:54Because the water level is rising.

00:03:56How are they? Where did you take them?

00:03:57How are they? Where did you take them?

00:03:58They are here.

00:03:59They are here.

00:04:00We will go to the evacuation center.

00:04:04In the middle of the rising water level.

00:04:07This is one of the situations that we encountered.

00:04:11This is Barangay Rojas, District, Quezon City.

00:04:15The rescue volunteer group is holding a rope.

00:04:20They will go to that place.

00:04:23So that they can reach the house.

00:04:27According to the information, there are not more than five people there.

00:04:30They will be rescued after being tied up.

00:04:34With the help of the volunteers, one by one, the trapped families were released from their houses.

00:04:40Meanwhile, the Holy Family Parish evacuated more than 800 individuals

00:04:47from three barangays in the area, including the Rojas District.

00:04:51It's terrible, sir. It's terrible.

00:04:54It's like they are seconds.

00:04:56It's like you are just here, and when you come back, they are already there.

00:05:01They are in shock.

00:05:04They are in shock.

00:05:06The water level is already on the second floor.

00:05:08How are you here? Food, clothes, medicine?

00:05:11There is no problem because our health center is right next to us.

00:05:15It's just a tumbling.

00:05:16This is our health center.

00:05:18They were here earlier with the doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.

00:05:28We mentioned Araneta Avenue.

00:05:31A bus was stranded there.

00:05:33That is the video that was taken in the middle of the road.

00:05:38The water level of the bus was at the middle of the road.

00:05:43Later on, the driver of the bus peeked out of the window.

00:05:47Residents slowly approached the bus to help.

00:05:52After a few minutes, the passengers went out one by one

00:05:55and climbed up to the roof of the bus

00:05:58until there was a nearby boat and they were rescued.

00:06:05Meanwhile, Metro Manila is in a state of calamity.

00:06:07A town in Oriental Mindoro and two other towns in Cotabato are also in a state of calamity.

00:06:14Some have already declared a class suspension tomorrow, Thursday.

00:06:19Maris Ubal, Maris, is live.

00:06:25Because of the flooding caused by Tropical Cyclone Karina

00:06:30that was caused by strong winds,

00:06:33Metro Manila Council has already declared

00:06:37that the entire National Capital Region is in a state of calamity.

00:07:00And by Chairman Don, seconded by Mayor Lanny Cayetano,

00:07:04the motion is hereby approved that Metro Manila is now in a state of calamity.

00:07:31Valenzuela, Las Pinas, and Paranaque are also in a state of calamity.

00:07:37This is a big help to their local governments

00:07:40especially if they are already in a state of calamity,

00:07:43the Quick Response Fund can be easily issued

00:07:46or a fund that can be used to help all affected by floods and heavy rains.

00:07:51As of now, thousands have been evacuated,

00:07:54the most in Quezon City, reaching 22,000 evacuees.

00:07:57142 barangays have been evacuated.

00:08:01Camanava area is also in a state of calamity,

00:08:0460 to 80% of the entire area is submerged in water.

00:08:08Marikina is also at a critical level.

00:08:12According to the PNP, residents are being forced to evacuate.

00:08:17They will be evacuated if the residents need to leave their area,

00:08:22even if it is flooded, because life is at stake here.

00:08:25MMDA and Bureau of Fire Protection are also involved in providing assistance to affected by floods.

00:08:32Before this, a state of calamity was also declared in Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro,

00:08:37Cabacan, Cotabato, Pikit, Cotabato, and Barangay Butuan, Jose Abad Santos, in Davao Occidental.

00:08:44As of now, 96 roads, 13 bridges, 11 seaports are affected.

00:08:5033 power interruptions, 3 water interruptions, and 7 communication lines are also affected.

00:08:58Earlier, an emergency meeting was held at NDRRMC,

00:09:02where President Bombong Marcos of DILG, DSWD, OCD, Pag-asa ng Sitwasyon,

00:09:09and Lawak ng Pinsala were briefed on the entire country, including the number of casualties.

00:09:15The President particularly emphasized the effects of the opening of dam gates.

00:09:21The President also assured that all affected will receive assistance, even those in an isolated area.

00:09:28I just want them to focus on the areas where so far we have not been able to enter.

00:09:37That will be the next priority of DSWD and of course Public Works,

00:09:48because if the roads are landslides, they need help from the LGU to clear the roads.

00:09:55The only other main issue was...

00:09:59Atom, Emil, and Connie, because of the continuous rain,

00:10:05and to help with the rescue, recovery, relief, and rehabilitation of the government

00:10:12and all the authorities involved in providing assistance to our affected countrymen,

00:10:20Malacanang has declared that all classes of Region 3, Region 4A, or Calabar Zone,

00:10:31and the entire National Capital Region will be suspended by July 25.

00:10:36That was announced by Executive Secretary Lucas Beresamin just yesterday.

00:10:41Meanwhile, we are here in the Situation Room of the MMDA,

00:10:46where 24-7, the MMDA is monitoring the people here

00:10:53so that all who are in danger will be called by the MMDA to the authorities,

00:10:59particularly to their Flood Control, Rescue, and Hotline 136.

00:11:05To those of us who are in danger, you can also ask for help through Hotline 136

00:11:14or post your request for help, comments, or messages on the MMDA's Facebook page.

00:11:25That was the latest news from the MMDA's Situation Room here in Ortigas.

00:11:30Back to you in the studio.

00:11:36Thank you very much, Maris Ubali.

00:11:57Connie, the Philippine Coast Guard is still monitoring the people in the province of Cagayan,

00:12:02especially the younger ones.

00:12:04The fishermen are not yet allowed to fish because of the ongoing gale warning.

00:12:14Ampion Shano raised the equipment in his house in Barangay Santa Cruz, Santa Ana, Cagayan.

00:12:20The flood is rising in the area.

00:12:22Because of the rain brought by Hurricane Karina.

00:12:25The water level suddenly rose.

00:12:27This is what it looks like in front of us.

00:12:30What about your equipment ma'am?

00:12:32The appliances are wet.

00:12:35In the PDRRMO monitoring,

00:12:38some barangays in Santa Ana, Peña Blanca, Enrile, Apari, Buguey, Santa Teresita, and Calayan are affected by floods.

00:12:47The Philippine Coast Guard is monitoring the people in the province.

00:12:50The fishermen are still not allowed to fish because of the ongoing gale warning.

00:12:54There are no fishermen who are fishing.

00:12:57Is there a plan to go inside?

00:12:59No ma'am, we are just stopping it.

00:13:01There is no plan to go inside because they need to follow our rules.

00:13:08For now, the gale is still strong and high in the province.

00:13:12That's why the fishermen's boats are still in a row in higher places so that the gale won't be destroyed and hit.

00:13:20But some boats in the area of Barangay Palawig were destroyed.

00:13:23Destroyed?

00:13:24Yes.

00:13:25Because?

00:13:26Because of the gale.

00:13:27Because the gale is too strong?

00:13:29In Calayan, the authorities are helping to put the boats in a proper place so that the gale won't hit them hard.

00:13:37According to the PDRRMO, Tangiang Anditor Bridge in Barangay Fusina,

00:13:42in the area of Lalo and Camalaniogan, vehicles are not allowed to pass today, July 24.

00:13:48Evacuees have already returned to their homes,

00:13:51but they continue to be careful in the event of a flash flood,

00:13:55especially if there is a strong downpour in the mountains.

00:13:57Since the rain has almost stopped,

00:14:01we're expecting the volume of water that was poured in Serang Madre

00:14:07and Karabag, the mountain ranges, to fall here in Cagayan.

00:14:16Connie, in the monitoring of the PDRRMO,

00:14:19as of 6 p.m., the Bunton River is at two meters high,

00:14:23still far from the six-meter critical level.

00:14:25Connie?

00:14:27Thank you very much, Jasmine Gabrielle Galbad.

00:14:31Update from Cavite area,

00:14:34more than 2,000 residents have been evacuated from 21 evacuation centers in Lungsod, Bacoor,

00:14:40which were also submerged in a state of calamity.

00:14:42Some of them say that the flooding is not a coincidence,

00:14:46and they are still looking for a way to survive.

00:14:48Live from there, John Consulta is on the air.

00:14:51John?

00:14:56Atom, 40 out of 47 barangays in Bacoor, Cavite

00:15:01are already affected by the flooding,

00:15:03and are also affected by Hurricane Karina.

00:15:05That's why the Bacoor LGU has already submerged the entire Lungsod in a state of calamity.

00:15:14Ms. Glenly's house is the only one in the 1,000 households

00:15:18that are allowed to have heavy flooding in Cavite.

00:15:20Inside their house,

00:15:22up to 20 are flooded.

00:15:23Even their bathroom is submerged.

00:15:26That's why their equipment has been lifted so that it won't get wet.

00:15:30If it rains, it will flood immediately.

00:15:33It's just that it's low here in our area.

00:15:37In Barangay Panapaan Uno,

00:15:39the flooding has doubled in the house of Mr. Jose.

00:15:43Aside from the fact that his house was flooded,

00:15:46he is still unable to go out to look for a way to survive.

00:15:49We are selling tacos.

00:15:50We are selling tacos.

00:15:52We can't find a way to survive because it's hard to go out.

00:15:57We have a heavy load.

00:15:59We don't have money.

00:16:01I hope we can get some rice.

00:16:07In the middle of a heavy downpour here in Bacoor,

00:16:11we passed by Mr. Tirso,

00:16:13who has an umbrella while walking in the heavy rain.

00:16:16When we asked him,

00:16:17he said that he is begging for food for his 5 children who were left in their house.

00:16:23I asked him if he is not afraid of the flood.

00:16:27His answer is,

00:16:29I am afraid. I have a wound but we have nothing to eat.

00:16:33My feet are broken.

00:16:36We don't have rice.

00:16:38I am wearing slippers.

00:16:41I don't have slippers.

00:16:43There's nothing I can do. I have to eat.

00:16:45More than 2,000 residents have been evacuated from 21 evacuation centers in Bacoor

00:16:51while the deployment of volunteer rescue units continues

00:16:54to evacuate the residents in need of help.

00:16:58We will declare that the city of Bacoor is under state of calamity

00:17:03because many of our barangays, particularly District 1, are flooded.

00:17:08Some still don't want to go to our evacuation centers.

00:17:13Let's not take a risk.

00:17:15Of course, we can't say that the flood continues.

00:17:24Ato, it has been an hour since the rain fell on our area.

00:17:29But the floods are still felt, just like the ones behind me, in different parts of Bacoor.

00:17:35That's all for Bacoor, Kavite.

00:17:37Back to you, Ato.

00:17:39Thank you very much, John Consulta.

00:17:40Karina is now one of the super typhoons that are continuing to strengthen in the south.

00:17:45Be alert, Kapuso, because it is still possible for the rains to continue tonight and tomorrow.

00:17:51Signal No. 2 in Batanes is still high because of the typhoon.

00:17:55Signal No. 1 in Baboyan Islands, Northern portion of Mainland Cagayan, and Ilocos Norte.

00:18:01Earlier this afternoon, the typhoon Karina was stronger

00:18:04and the Super Typhoon category was reached while the typhoon hit Taiwan.

00:18:08The typhoon is still within the Philippine Area of Responsibility

00:18:12and was last seen 380 km away from the north of Itbayat, Batanes.

00:18:17The typhoon has a wind speed of 185 kmph

00:18:21and the typhoon is expected to reach 230 kmph.

00:18:25The typhoon is expected to move at a speed of 20 kmph.

00:18:29According to the forecast, the typhoon is expected to landfall in Taiwan tonight.

00:18:35If the typhoon landfalls, it is possible for it to become a typhoon again

00:18:40and the Philippine Area of Responsibility will be released tomorrow.

00:18:44Next, the typhoon Baibayin will hit Taiwan Strait and will hit Southeastern China.

00:18:49However, the Super Typhoon Karina will continue to strengthen in the south

00:18:54and will continue to bring heavy rains in the northern part of Luzon until Friday.

00:18:59Based on the data of Metro Weather, the rain will continue to pour in the Ilocos region

00:19:04Cordillera, Central Luzon, some parts of Calabarzon, Mindoro Provinces, and Bicol Region.

00:19:11Heavy rains are still expected in the Ilocos Provinces, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, and Mindoro.

00:19:19Be prepared for a flood or landslide.

00:19:22There are also rains in some parts of Panay and Negros Island,

00:19:26as well as in some places in the Caraga and Davao Region.

00:19:29It is also possible that there will be heavy rains in Metro Manila,

00:19:33so we should all be careful.

00:19:38Meanwhile, we will talk to Chris Perez, Assistant Weather Services Chief

00:19:43and Spokesperson for Weather of Pag-asa.

00:19:46Good evening to you, Sir Chris.

00:19:48Good evening, Ms. Connie, and to all of our viewers.

00:19:51The rains in Metro Manila and the provinces still continue to pour, right Sir?

00:19:56According to your reports, how much rain did we see?

00:20:01Well, Connie, we are looking at the rainfall of the heavy rains

00:20:07here in our weather station in Metro Manila.

00:20:10In the span of 57 hours, that is from 8 am on July 22 until 5 pm this afternoon,

00:20:18590 mm of rain was recorded.

00:20:21This is the current episode that Karina recorded.

00:20:25We can see that there is a lot of rain,

00:20:28that is why we can see the readings in some parts of Metro Manila

00:20:32and in the neighboring provinces here in the Northern and Central Zone

00:20:37and in the Southern Luzon Area, Connie.

00:20:39And because of the heavy rains, a lot of people are still remembering

00:20:44what happened during the 2009 earthquake.

00:20:46A lot of people are asking, is there really more rainfall than in Ondoy?

00:20:53Actually, Connie, this is what we should do.

00:20:55Let's not compare the rainfall of the typhoon and the rainfall of the typhoon

00:21:01because they are different weather seasons.

00:21:03But the better information is, let's look at the typhoon episode of 2012.

00:21:08There was also a typhoon that had almost the same movement as Karina's typhoon.

00:21:12It did not reach our country, it moved to the Taiwan area

00:21:14and caused heavy rainfall.

00:21:16And so far, this 2012 typhoon episode, it was enhanced by Typhoon Henir.

00:21:22It recorded around 1,007 mm of rain in a span of 3 days.

00:21:29Now, let's compare it with the current typhoon episode, enhanced by Super Typhoon Karina.

00:21:35As I said earlier, 57 hours, 590.1 mm of rain

00:21:40was recorded in this enhanced typhoon in 2024.

00:21:44It is being compared because they have the same weather system as Habagat

00:21:47and the same situation where almost two typhoons hit the eastern part of our country.

00:21:53Now, if we look at 2012, there was more rainfall in a span of 3 days.

00:21:57But this current episode is not yet finished.

00:22:00Let's look at it, maybe there is more.

00:22:02The 1,007.4 mm that we recorded in a 3-day period during the 2012 Habagat typhoon.

00:22:08And Super Typhoon Karina is already a type of typhoon that is far from our country.

00:22:12Will it make Habagat stronger?

00:22:15Well, that's possible.

00:22:17Based on our outlook of the rainfall, we expect that the rainfall of Habagat,

00:22:23not only here in Metro Manila, but also in the provinces,

00:22:27we expect that it will be possible until Friday.

00:22:30There will be heavy rainfall, then gradually, the episode of rainfall will decrease this coming weekend.

00:22:35That is, if our forecast movement, intensity of the typhoon, and its immediate effect on current Habagat

00:22:40that affects the western section of Luzon, including Metro Manila.

00:22:45Alright, thank you very much for the update, Mr. Chris Perez,

00:22:49Assistant Weather Services Chief and Spokesperson for Weather ng Pag-asa.

00:23:10LLTV, Ivey.

00:23:15Emil, the monitoring of Ilocos Sur PDRRMO continues,

00:23:19because no one from the Aplan Municipalities and Cordillera Region

00:23:24is likely to be affected by major river systems and floods in the 1st District of the province.

00:23:34In Bayan ng Kawayan,

00:23:35the barangay officials were able to monitor 50 houses in Bukanan ng Ilog,

00:23:41after the water level rose.

00:23:53According to the residents,

00:23:55two years ago, the water level in this part of Balsa,

00:23:59was only a few feet from the houses.

00:24:02But despite this,

00:24:04there are still no plans for residents to evacuate

00:24:07because they want to maintain their property.

00:24:10There are also creeks, like in St. Lucia, that are flooding.

00:24:14According to the PDRRMO,

00:24:16there are several roads and spillways that cannot be passed.

00:24:20The PDRRMO is also monitoring the three major river systems of the province

00:24:25that are still at a normal level.

00:24:28If it becomes red,

00:24:30it will be dangerous for our low-lying areas

00:24:33because it is possible for a large-scale flooding to occur here,

00:24:37especially here in Metro Vigan.

00:24:3988 families from 11 towns in Ilocos Sur

00:24:43were evacuated before there was a flood in their area.

00:24:48In Ilocos Norte,

00:24:50two families had to be evacuated to the evacuation center

00:24:54after a flood in Barangay 2, Lawag City yesterday.

00:24:57Because the creek was also flooding there.

00:25:00In Barangay Barit,

00:25:02a part of a house was covered by land

00:25:05in the heavy rain.

00:25:07According to the CDRRMO Lawag City,

00:25:10no one was hurt in the landslide.

00:25:12Residents helped each other to evacuate the land.

00:25:21Emil, according to the Ilocos Sur PDRRMO,

00:25:24as of 4.30 p.m.,

00:25:26130 families,

00:25:29or 450 individuals, were evacuated.

00:25:33Some are in evacuation areas

00:25:35while others are with their families.

00:25:38Emil?

00:25:42Thank you very much,

00:25:44Ivy Hernando of GMA Regional TV.

00:25:48Let's go to Pasay

00:25:50where a retired soldier was killed

00:25:52when a flood reached his house.

00:25:55How about the flood in the area around Naia

00:25:58and the canceled flights?

00:26:00Live from Pasay, Ian Cruz is on the air.

00:26:02Ian?

00:26:06Yes, Atom.

00:26:08It seems like they are going to save

00:26:10the last mission of a retired Filipino Air Force soldier

00:26:14in the middle of a heavy flood

00:26:16when he found his own son unconscious.

00:26:21Retired 2nd Lt. Reinaldo Silapan

00:26:24was unconscious when he was taken out of his house in Pasay.

00:26:28The flood reached the first floor of his house.

00:26:31He was tried to be taken to the hospital

00:26:34but he survived.

00:26:36His son, Airman 1st Class Jeron Silapan,

00:26:38was emotional when we talked to him.

00:26:40At 6 a.m.,

00:26:42Jeron's father,

00:26:44who was unconscious,

00:26:46was in Silong.

00:26:48According to Chairman Alvin Zuniga,

00:26:49the flood reached Barangay 183

00:26:52where a lot of water was drained.

00:26:54Residents were also rescued,

00:26:56especially the children who were drowned in the flood.

00:27:00Next to Barangay 184,

00:27:02the flood water was also high.

00:27:04In St. Peter Street,

00:27:06the flood reached Hita,

00:27:08but some children were still crying

00:27:10as if the danger is not yet over.

00:27:12In Bayanian Street in Maricaban,

00:27:14the water was still running since dawn.

00:27:16The danger is not yet over

00:27:17but the flood continues.

00:27:19There is also a portion of Andrews Avenue

00:27:22near Naia Terminal 3

00:27:24that was flooded.

00:27:26Even though the cancellation of the flight

00:27:28that reached 119

00:27:30due to bad weather,

00:27:32Naia is still worried

00:27:34about the departure and arrival

00:27:36of the airplanes.

00:27:38Here are some of our interviews.

00:27:40I am always worried

00:27:42about what I have to do.

00:27:44Especially in my service,

00:27:46I have to remind myself

00:27:48that I am always doing my best.

00:27:50That's how it is, sir.

00:27:52I don't expect that, sir.

00:27:54The flood was really bad.

00:27:56We did not expect

00:27:58that this would happen.

00:28:00It was really bad.

00:28:02It was really bad.

00:28:04We did not expect

00:28:06that this would happen.

00:28:07This is how it is.

00:28:09It was really hard for us.

00:28:11It was really hard for us.

00:28:13It was really hard for us.

00:28:16This is the first time

00:28:18after so many years.

00:28:20Here on this road,

00:28:22up to Bewang.

00:28:24What is the highest point?

00:28:26The highest point is Trinidad Street.

00:28:28If you can see there,

00:28:30people have already passed through there.

00:28:33Atom, we are here

00:28:35in Barangay 184

00:28:37in Trinidad Street.

00:28:39Until now, it is still flooded

00:28:41and vehicles cannot pass through here.

00:28:43They are being pulled back

00:28:45because it is still very hot in that area.

00:28:47There are also portions here

00:28:49that are flooded

00:28:51because it is not raining anymore.

00:28:53But there are also areas

00:28:55that are still flooded.

00:28:57That is why there is no electricity

00:28:59in their homes.

00:29:01That is why the people here

00:29:03are continuously praying

00:29:05that there will be no more

00:29:07floods in their communities.

00:29:09That is the latest news

00:29:11from Pasay City.

00:29:13Back to you, Atom.

00:29:15Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.

00:29:18Almost four parts of the Pasig River

00:29:21were flooded

00:29:23while the San Juan River

00:29:27There, a man is watching

00:29:29live from San Juan.

00:29:31He is Joseph Moro.

00:29:33Joseph.

00:29:35Emil, there is no electricity

00:29:37in San Juan.

00:29:39The San Juan River

00:29:43and nearby areas

00:29:45were flooded yesterday.

00:29:47A man was lost

00:29:51the river flood.

00:29:53There he is.

00:29:55He is in the vicinity.

00:29:57A man who was watched by the flood

00:29:59is being searched

00:30:01by the people of the Bureau

00:30:03of Fire Protection in San Juan.

00:30:05But due to the strength

00:30:07of the water,

00:30:09the rescue team

00:30:11was not able to find him.

00:30:13The BFP people

00:30:15are now searching for him

00:30:17but the man was not lost.

00:30:19According to the BFP,

00:30:25He was given a life vest.

00:30:27We were able to find him.

00:30:29He jumped from a tree.

00:30:31We don't know.

00:30:33Maybe it was in August.

00:30:35The rescue team

00:30:37was able to find him.

00:30:39He drowned.

00:30:41The BFP people

00:30:43were not able to find him.

00:30:45The man was caught

00:30:47under a tree

00:30:49but he is nowhere to be found.

00:30:51The San Juan River

00:30:53was heavily flooded

00:30:55by the heavy rain.

00:30:57In this video,

00:30:59you can see the heavy rain

00:31:01on the riverbed.

00:31:03The San Juan River

00:31:04in San Juan, Santa Mesa,

00:31:06in Manila

00:31:08is over 14.65 meters

00:31:10at a critical level

00:31:12of only 13 meters.

00:31:14The residents

00:31:16were able to see

00:31:18their belongings

00:31:20and their pets.

00:31:22This backhoe

00:31:24is also used

00:31:26to dredge the river.

00:31:28The river also flooded

00:31:30the nearby barangay,

00:31:32San Perfecto.

00:31:34Residents were able

00:31:36to rescue a few children.

00:31:38It's deep.

00:31:40There are still many children.

00:31:42They are still there.

00:31:44They are in the second floor

00:31:46of their house.

00:31:48In San Juan Gym,

00:31:50more than 1,000 residents

00:31:52or more than 200 families

00:31:54were rescued in San Juan.

00:31:56They were given food

00:31:58and clothes.

00:32:00Some of them were lucky

00:32:02to be in temporary shelters.

00:32:04Residents were able

00:32:06to get food,

00:32:08clothes,

00:32:10diapers,

00:32:12and water.

00:32:14No public

00:32:18were allowed

00:32:20in San Juan.

00:32:35Thank you very much.

00:32:37Joseph Morong.

00:33:04The vehicle

00:33:06was unable to pass through

00:33:08so the result

00:33:10was a kilometer-long

00:33:12line of cars

00:33:14on the expressway.

00:33:16The bus was able

00:33:18to pass

00:33:20the northbound

00:33:22and southbound

00:33:24exits of Valenzuela.

00:33:26It reached

00:33:28Lampastao.

00:33:30The cars

00:33:32on the other side

00:33:34were able to walk

00:33:36and find their way.

00:33:38Some of them

00:33:40were able to return

00:33:42to their homes.

00:33:44Those who were unable

00:33:46to go back

00:33:48were able to stay

00:33:50inside their cars.

00:33:52Luckily,

00:33:54there was an air-conditioner

00:33:56but it was useless

00:33:58if the gas ran out

00:34:00so the vehicle

00:34:02had to be turned off.

00:34:04There was no opportunity

00:34:06for the vendors

00:34:08to earn money.

00:34:10They fell to the ground

00:34:12for the stranded passengers

00:34:14who were hungry here.

00:34:16Around 3 p.m.

00:34:18a trail truck

00:34:20passed through

00:34:22the floodplain

00:34:24followed by other

00:34:26large vehicles.

00:34:28There were some who were

00:34:30able to pass

00:34:32but some

00:34:34were unable to.

00:34:57What you see here

00:34:59is a live situation.

00:35:01Other drivers

00:35:02and passengers

00:35:04are trying to get out

00:35:06of their vehicles

00:35:08because the traffic

00:35:10is still flowing.

00:35:12There is a flood

00:35:14in Valenzuela exit

00:35:16which is okay.

00:35:18The southbound

00:35:20to Metro Manila

00:35:22is okay

00:35:24because the traffic

00:35:26is still flowing.

00:35:28Thank you very much,

00:35:30June Veneracion.

00:35:32The Marikina River

00:35:42Bernadette?

00:35:44The water level

00:35:46in Marikina River

00:36:14In Barangay Tumana,

00:36:16the water level

00:36:18has already

00:36:20exceeded people's expectations.

00:36:22Residents

00:36:24carried their own

00:36:26belongings

00:36:28and pets.

00:36:30The Marikina River

00:36:33was forced

00:36:35to be blocked

00:36:37by vehicles

00:36:39such as

00:36:41the Marikina Bridge.

00:36:43For some residents

00:36:45of Provident Village,

00:36:47the water level

00:36:49rose rapidly

00:36:51due to the

00:36:53effects of the flood.

00:36:55Many roads

00:36:57leading to Marikina

00:36:59were blocked

00:37:00for their children

00:37:02who live in Barangay Tumana

00:37:04in Marikina.

00:37:06But the flood

00:37:08did not go away.

00:37:10My daughter is alone

00:37:12at home.

00:37:14I just got back

00:37:16from work.

00:37:18The water level

00:37:20has already risen.

00:37:27Atom, we are still here

00:37:28in Barangay Tumana

00:37:30where the flood

00:37:32still reached people.

00:37:34That's why residents

00:37:36are still being evacuated.

00:37:38A while ago,

00:37:40DILG Secretary Abalos

00:37:42came here to ask Mayor

00:37:44Chodoro about the needs

00:37:46of the village.

00:37:48They will send three

00:37:50motorized boats

00:37:52to evacuate the residents.

00:37:54Atom?

00:37:56Thank you very much,

00:37:58Mayor Chodoro.

00:38:29The land was flooded

00:38:31yesterday

00:38:33in Puruk Millsite,

00:38:35Sitio Camp 6,

00:38:37Barangay 4, Tuba, Benguet

00:38:39due to the effects

00:38:41of the flood.

00:38:43Due to the continuous rain,

00:38:45residents are worried

00:38:47about the possible flooding.

00:38:49It's really dangerous

00:38:51because the waves are strong.

00:38:53We are grounded here.

00:38:55The DPWH Cordillera

00:38:56was stranded on the other side

00:38:58from Gumuhong Mountain.

00:39:00It just left their house

00:39:02after clearing operations.

00:39:04The land is still being

00:39:06cleared from the mountain

00:39:08due to the continuous rain.

00:39:10Aside from the pudic,

00:39:12there are also big rocks

00:39:14falling from the mountain.

00:39:16According to the residents,

00:39:18they were told to evacuate

00:39:20if necessary.

00:39:22The Kenan Road was closed

00:39:24to motorists on the second day.

00:39:26We were told to stay at home

00:39:28in case of robbery.

00:39:30Some residents evacuated

00:39:32to their relatives' houses.

00:39:34The Kenan Road used to be

00:39:36a private and public vehicle

00:39:38but now it is closed

00:39:40to motorists.

00:39:42Baguio City LGU also suspended

00:39:44all classes today

00:39:46due to bad weather.

00:39:48They also talked to the residents

00:39:50to avoid throwing garbage

00:39:52so they won't go to the lagoon

00:39:54and become the cause of the flood.

00:39:5624 hours a day

00:39:58is the monitoring of DPWH

00:40:00for the clearing operations

00:40:02in Rockslide and Landslide.

00:40:04Since the Kenan Road is closed,

00:40:06the Marcos Highway

00:40:08and Naguilian Road

00:40:10will serve as an alternative route

00:40:12to go up to Baguio City.

00:40:14There is no guarantee

00:40:16if the Kenan Road

00:40:18will be closed

00:40:20until the next day.

00:40:22The Kenan Road

00:40:24will be closed

00:40:26to motorists

00:40:28until the next day.

00:43:02of the house

00:43:04but some did not leave

00:43:06to guard their belongings.

00:43:08Some of the evacuees

00:43:10went to the gas station

00:43:12because it is better

00:43:14than the evacuation center.

00:43:16As of 6.30pm,

00:43:18three people were hit

00:43:20by a landslide.

00:43:22There was no casualty

00:43:24according to Mayor Ronnie Evangelista.

00:43:26They carried out a forced evacuation

00:43:28but some did not leave

00:43:30because they did not think

00:43:32that the flood would rise.

00:43:34According to the Mayor,

00:43:36the Marikina River is already

00:43:38at a critical level

00:43:40from 15 meters to 28 meters.

00:43:42The Mayor also clarified

00:43:44that the Upper Wawa Dam

00:43:46did not lose water

00:43:48so now the Mayor

00:43:50is calling for rescue boats

00:43:52and trucks

00:43:54to enter the areas

00:43:56where the water level is still high.

00:43:58Tom, what you can see on your screen

00:44:00are the stranded people

00:44:02in Montalban, Rizal.

00:44:04They were not able to cross

00:44:06and they could not leave their vehicles.

00:44:08They said that they will wait

00:44:10for the flood to subside

00:44:12before they return to their area.

00:44:14Some evacuees are calling for food

00:44:16but the Mayor said

00:44:18that they will wait for the flood

00:44:20to subside.

00:44:49Emil, three children

00:44:51and one pregnant woman

00:44:53were among the evacuees

00:44:55because of the landslide

00:44:57in Agoncillo, Batangas.

00:45:02The residents

00:45:04of Barangay Subic, Ilaya,

00:45:06Agoncillo, Batangas

00:45:08were awakened by the tragedy

00:45:10this morning.

00:45:12The land next to the mountain

00:45:14was flooded with rice and wheat

00:45:16where four family members

00:45:18and three children

00:45:20aged 13 and 15 years old

00:45:22were stranded.

00:45:24They are now violent.

00:45:26It's like the earthquake

00:45:28hit their children.

00:45:30The land became soft

00:45:32because of the continuous rain.

00:45:34The continuous rain

00:45:36was 11 to 12.

00:45:41According to the barangay,

00:45:43before the tragedy happened,

00:45:45they informed the family

00:45:46that they were evacuated

00:45:48but they were surprised

00:45:50that it returned to their home.

00:45:52Retrieval operations were difficult.

00:45:54It took more than three hours

00:45:56for the bodies to be recovered.

00:45:58We used a rope

00:46:00and plywood.

00:46:02We used our bare hands

00:46:04and nailed the bodies.

00:46:06It was difficult for the family

00:46:08to accept the impact of the victims.

00:46:10We came from the volcano

00:46:12but we were able to cross

00:46:14the sea.

00:46:16Why did they return

00:46:18the bodies last night?

00:46:21Agoncillo-LGU

00:46:23asked for help

00:46:25from the family of the victims.

00:46:27There are 10 houses

00:46:29near the mountain

00:46:31that were evacuated

00:46:33by the authorities.

00:46:35It was raining and windy

00:46:37in Nasugbu, Batangas.

00:46:39The tree fell

00:46:41and the Goto market

00:46:43was flooded.

00:46:44The tree fell

00:46:46around 6 p.m.

00:46:48It's an old tree

00:46:50according to the authorities.

00:46:52The family of the victims

00:46:54tried to get hold

00:46:56of the GMA Regional TV

00:46:58Balitang Southern Tagalog.

00:47:00Meanwhile,

00:47:02Nasugbu Magalianis Road

00:47:04in Barangay Bulihan

00:47:06was closed

00:47:08due to landslides

00:47:10caused by large rocks.

00:47:12According to MDRRMO,

00:47:14the road was closed

00:47:16so that the citizens

00:47:18can't cross.

00:47:20The motorist

00:47:22was not disgraced

00:47:24by the landslide.

00:47:26The area was monitored.

00:47:28The passengers were told

00:47:30to use the road

00:47:32and the Nasugbu-Tagaytay Highway

00:47:34as an alternative route.

00:47:36Meanwhile,

00:47:38some cottages were destroyed

00:47:40due to the strong wind

00:47:42and rain in the town.

00:47:44The authorities are currently

00:47:46monitoring the area

00:47:48affected by landslides

00:49:41I hope my flight will continue tomorrow

00:49:44because I really need it.

00:49:46The rain is heavy.

00:49:48The airplane

00:49:50has a lot of turbulence.

00:49:53What will you do now, sir?

00:49:55You won't be able to go home.

00:49:57I might not be able to go home.

00:49:59It's not possible.

00:50:01I might get sick.

00:50:03That's why I said

00:50:04I might get sick.

00:50:06That's why I said

00:50:08I might get sick.

00:50:10They are all assisted, ma'am.

00:50:12Not only here in the lounge

00:50:14but also in OWA.

00:50:16We already notified

00:50:18our migrant workers offices

00:50:20and our welfare officers

00:50:22in our OWA offices in Taiwan

00:50:24and they're actually

00:50:26assisting the stranded

00:50:28at their end.

00:50:30Of course, helping

00:50:32if they need a monitoring slip

00:50:38Emil, just yesterday

00:50:44It's good news

00:50:46because there are no more

00:50:48cancelled flights, Emil.

00:50:51Thank you very much,

00:50:53Ma'am Gonzalez.

00:50:55Let's go around Manila

00:50:57where some children and seniors

00:50:59were hit by the flood.

00:51:01But some military trucks

00:51:02and rescue teams

00:51:04were also hit by the flood.

00:51:06Sandra Aguinaldo.

00:51:08Sandra?

00:51:11Yes, Atom.

00:51:13Here in the city of Manila

00:51:15several places were hit

00:51:17and there are also places

00:51:19in the city that residents

00:51:21need to evacuate

00:51:23including Parola, Baseco,

00:51:25Isla Puting Bato,

00:51:27and the place I went to,

00:51:29Dangka in Manila.

00:51:30The Manila LGU Rescue Team

00:51:32and the PNP

00:51:34entered Barangay 598

00:51:36in Dangka, Old Santa Mesa,

00:51:38in Manila.

00:51:40Among the rescued

00:51:42is the Lienzo family

00:51:44with a senior citizen

00:51:46and three children.

00:51:48According to the family,

00:51:50between 6 to 7 in the morning

00:51:52water entered their house

00:51:54from the flowing San Juan River

00:51:56which is close to them.

00:51:57They were not able to save

00:51:59their belongings

00:52:01in the first floor of their house

00:52:03so they were not able to leave.

00:52:05And because their ground floor

00:52:07collapsed,

00:52:09they were not able to leave

00:52:11so they needed rescue.

00:52:13Some vehicles were not able

00:52:15to be saved from the flood

00:52:17and some motorcycles

00:52:19were not able to be saved.

00:52:22We noticed that

00:52:24the rain and water

00:52:25were not enough

00:52:27in the house

00:52:29so we thought

00:52:31to evacuate them

00:52:33when they arrived.

00:52:35In this place,

00:52:37it is hard to talk to

00:52:39the people here in Dangka

00:52:41that's why we went around

00:52:43while it is still bright

00:52:45because as we said,

00:52:47it is hard to rescue

00:52:49at night.

00:52:51I turned off the lights

00:52:52so that we won't have

00:52:54a big problem here.

00:53:00We also tried to go

00:53:02to F. Blumentritt

00:53:04in Barangay Cabayanan

00:53:06in San Juan City

00:53:08but our vehicle was not able

00:53:10to pass through

00:53:12because the water was deep

00:53:14and some residents

00:53:16needed to be rescued.

00:53:18In Santa Mesa, Manila,

00:53:20we witnessed the rescue

00:53:22on the ground floor

00:53:24of their house.

00:53:26A military truck

00:53:28also tried to rescue

00:53:30but it was stuck

00:53:32because the water was deep.

00:53:34Atom,

00:53:36this is Araneta Avenue

00:53:38near Panolucan, Aurora.

00:53:40As you can see,

00:53:42it is like a river

00:53:44and according to the residents here,

00:53:46they will wait

00:53:48for a few more hours

00:53:50to go down

00:53:52to their houses.

00:53:54According to the Manila LGU,

00:53:5613,000 people

00:53:58or 2,700 families

00:54:00are in different

00:54:02evacuation centers

00:54:04here in Manila.

00:54:06Atom?

00:54:08Thank you very much,

00:54:10Sandra Aguinaldo.

00:54:12Some parts of EDSA

00:54:14were also flooded

00:54:16in Quezon City.

00:54:18The vehicles were also stranded

00:54:20so the commuters

00:54:22were forced to stay

00:54:24in the flooded areas.

00:54:26Live from there,

00:54:28Mackie Polito was there.

00:54:30Mackie?

00:54:32You know, Connie,

00:54:34since 8 a.m. this morning,

00:54:36the traffic stopped

00:54:38in the EDSA area

00:54:40here in Muñoz Market,

00:54:42Quezon City.

00:54:44So the traffic on both sides

00:54:46stopped.

00:54:48Southbound or going to

00:54:50Makati and northbound

00:54:52traffic was the first

00:54:54to move to Makati

00:54:56because the water

00:54:58of Bahagia

00:55:00was already flooded.

00:55:02So the buses

00:55:04and trucks

00:55:06were the first

00:55:08to move.

00:55:10After 20 minutes,

00:55:12the northbound lane

00:55:14to Caloocan

00:55:16followed.

00:55:18As you can see

00:55:20on your screens,

00:55:22the traffic stopped

00:55:24here in Muñoz Market.

00:55:26The MMBA said

00:55:28that the water reached

00:55:3027 inches

00:55:32between Muñoz

00:55:34and Balintawak.

00:55:36The buses stopped

00:55:38so many commuters

00:55:40were forced to walk.

00:55:42The commuters

00:55:44who were forced to walk

00:55:46were pitiful

00:55:48because the water

00:55:49was so high.

00:55:51Some of the commuters

00:55:53said that they will

00:55:55give up to reach

00:55:57their destination

00:55:59so they were forced

00:56:01to walk.

00:56:03It was difficult

00:56:05because the road

00:56:07was white.

00:56:09Some commuters

00:56:11gave up

00:56:13to get in

00:56:15because their

00:56:17salary was

00:56:19too high.

00:56:21There was nothing

00:56:23they could do

00:56:25but to wait

00:56:27for the water

00:56:29to reach their destination.

00:56:31Not far from

00:56:33where we are standing

00:56:35there was a flood

00:56:37on Del Monte Avenue.

00:56:39There was no way

00:56:41to cross the road

00:56:43because the water

00:56:45was so high.

00:56:47Rescue boats

00:56:49were sent

00:56:51to West Riverside

00:56:53Street

00:56:55where the water

00:56:57reached up to

00:56:59the second floor.

00:57:01Those were the

00:57:03rescued residents.

00:57:05Some of the people

00:57:07who were rescued

00:57:09thought that the

00:57:11heavy rain would

00:57:13stop so they

00:57:15did not escape.

00:57:17But as time went

00:57:19by, the water

00:57:21continued to rise

00:57:23so they reached

00:57:25their destination

00:57:27and waited for rescue.

00:57:29Let's listen to

00:57:31some of the people

00:57:33we spoke to today.

00:57:35How deep is it?

00:57:37Up to here.

00:57:39I just came from

00:57:41Vaisa.

00:57:43Why did you still give up?

00:57:45Because you can't

00:57:47absinthe.

00:57:49I don't have money to spend.

00:57:51I just gave up.

00:57:53I'm risking

00:57:55so they won't drown.

00:57:57What time did the flood

00:57:59start?

00:58:01Around 8 a.m.

00:58:03Until now,

00:58:05we haven't been able

00:58:07to leave.

00:58:09It's been a long time.

00:58:11It's been a long time.

00:58:13It's been a long time.

00:58:15It's been a long time.

00:58:16Edsa Munoz,

00:58:18Quezon City.

00:58:20Thank you very much,

00:58:22Maki Pulido.

00:58:24The University Belt

00:58:26in Manila

00:58:28did not escape the flood.

00:58:30Some people were waiting

00:58:32for the water to rise

00:58:34like a beach party.

01:03:30There is also a strong current or the flow of water, and that was the reason why the 18-year-old mother, Micaela Bravo, was rescued.

01:03:39She was given birth before 10 a.m. due to the high tide here, and it took a few hours before Micaela was rescued because she needed to be placed on a spine board.

01:03:51And for now, the good news is that Micaela and her baby boy were brought to the East Avenue Medical Center and both of them are now safe.

01:04:00Meanwhile, the search and rescue operations are still ongoing.

01:04:06There are no more search operations because all are accounted for.

01:04:09We are not getting any reports that there are reported missing, but the request for rescue is still ongoing for some of the residents here

01:04:18because there is a lot of water, especially at the deepest point, up to 15 feet deep, and it almost reached some houses on their 3rd floor.

01:04:31And that is the latest from Araneta Avenue. For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

01:04:37Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina.

01:04:39A boat was used to tie up the wreckage in the middle of a flood in a barangay in Quezon City.

01:04:48A boat was also used to rescue a dog.

01:04:52This is Van Aquino, Nakatutok.

01:04:56This morning, several residents in Barangay Katipunan, Quezon City, were swept away by the waves after the flood reached their area.

01:05:04These residents made a raft out of the stuck-up refrigerator while pulling their other companion.

01:05:12Pieces of wood were used to make a raft for this rescue boat that crashed into another resident.

01:05:18According to the barangay, yesterday and earlier this morning, they asked the residents to evacuate, but no one listened.

01:05:26They did not expect that this would happen.

01:05:30There are many residents down there who cannot be rescued because the current of the water almost reached the river.

01:05:38Other families are still there.

01:05:42It's 2.30 p.m. and the rain is still heavy in Quezon City, particularly here in Barangay Katipunan.

01:05:48We can see the water coming out of the river from a house.

01:05:53According to the barangay, it is still difficult to rescue because there are still residents trapped in their houses near the river.

01:06:04Aside from the boats, they also need rescuers in places where the current is strong.

01:06:10We were able to reach a woman who is waiting for her husband and son to return,

01:06:14who tried to rescue their relative in Mangga Street.

01:06:18Who are you waiting for here?

01:06:20My husband, my son, and my brother, my brother's wife.

01:06:25What happened?

01:06:27They were trapped there, next to the river, in Mangga Street.

01:06:31We were also waiting for someone to rescue them.

01:06:33I contacted them and they said they were in Bubong.

01:06:36Next to Barangay Katipunan, the San Juan River is flooding.

01:06:40Next to Barangay San Antonio, a resident used a boat to rescue this woman and a dog.

01:06:46Cars were also submerged, but one of them was rescued by the residents.

01:06:52Next to Barangay Paraiso, houses were also submerged.

01:06:55Rescuers were also rescued and a dog was also rescued.

01:07:00For GMA Integrated News, Bon Aquino reported for 24 Hours.

01:07:04As for the rescuers in Malabon, one of the children was also rescued by a boat.

01:07:10In Navotas, the flood reached Bubong in some places,

01:07:14after the Tuliacan River flooded.

01:07:16Salima reported for Refront.

01:07:22This part of Mel Lopez Boulevard, part of C3, was flooded when entering Navotas.

01:07:27The flood reached Bewang and Hita, that's why only big trucks were passing by.

01:07:31Some commuters rushed to the trucks just to pass through the water.

01:07:37The children, the mud of the flood was not shallow, even the danger of the trucks passing by.

01:07:44The Tuliacan River was flooding.

01:07:46The water reached Bubong and some cars were submerged in the flood.

01:07:49The water in Mnaval was also high, going to City Hall and Governor Pascual.

01:07:54According to Navotas Mayor John Ray Tiangco, all of his 18 barangays were affected by the flood.

01:08:00Before the rain, the water in Navotas was already a problem

01:08:04because the navigational gate or flood gate in Navotas was broken last month.

01:08:09Aside from the heavy rain, the high tide of Lunsod was also experienced,

01:08:13reaching 2 meters earlier this afternoon.

01:08:16Yesterday, the pre-emptive evacuation was still in effect,

01:08:19but there were those who did not immediately flee,

01:08:21that's why rescue operations were called in Barangay Tansa 1 and 2,

01:08:26and there was a flood that reached Legnarawan Tubig.

01:08:31Good morning, Kapuso.

01:08:32It's already 5 in the afternoon and we have already crossed the Mel Lopez Boulevard

01:08:35and we have already entered the part of Artin.

01:08:38And we are already here in Navotas City.

01:08:41This is Artin.

01:08:42This area is still flooded.

01:08:46And on the other side of the road,

01:08:48we were told that there is still water up to Bewang.

01:08:52Earlier, we saw military trucks,

01:08:54even though they are big vehicles,

01:08:57they were still driving on that side.

01:09:00Here on this side, as you can see,

01:09:02even though the roads are flooded,

01:09:05the water is still flowing.

01:09:08Kuya, kuya, let's talk to a resident, sir.

01:09:10How is this flood?

01:09:12Is it still bad?

01:09:14Yes, it is still bad.

01:09:16This is the first time this has happened.

01:09:18There are already a lot of big floods.

01:09:21This is the first time this has happened.

01:09:23This is the first time this has happened in Undoy.

01:09:25This is the first time this has happened here in Undoy.

01:09:28This is the first time this has happened to us.

01:09:30You are not allowed to go there?

01:09:31No.

01:09:32This is bad because even before the typhoon,

01:09:35as you know, our navigational gate was damaged.

01:09:39So even before the high tide,

01:09:41the water level was high.

01:09:45But now, it is having a hard time going down,

01:09:47even though all of our pumping stations are flooded.

01:09:55And that is the news this Wednesday.

01:09:57I am Emil Sumangil.

01:09:59I am Connie Sison for a bigger mission.

01:10:02For a wider service to the country.

01:10:05I am Atom Araulio.
