00:00In Aurora, a search operation is underway for a fisherman who hasn't returned home since he went abroad this Friday.
00:11Since then, Ian Cruz has been live. Ian?
00:18Yes, Mel. We are still looking for a fisherman who was last seen on the coast during the typhoon.
00:25It's hard. I don't know if he's still alive. He's dead. But I'm still hoping that he's still alive.
00:38Jessica was just moved to tears for the mister who hasn't returned home since he went abroad this Friday.
00:47Where's your father?
00:48Father?
00:49Where is he?
00:51On the beach.
00:52How old is he?
00:53One year old.
00:56Father?
00:57Go home.
00:58Go home, father.
01:00According to the fisherman, at 8 p.m., they were able to see the light of Egay's boat that was moving to add to the catch.
01:10The waves were big then.
01:12Yesterday, on the day of the landfall of the typhoon in their province, Roger went home.
01:17And on another boat, there were three other fishermen.
01:20But they weren't with Egay.
01:22We only saw the light of the boat around 8 p.m.
01:25But it was already far away.
01:29And the light was changing.
01:31We only saw the light of the boat when the typhoon hit.
01:36There was no light.
01:37In the municipality of Dinalungan, there was an inter-agency meeting for the search of fishermen.
01:43We are talking about the three days that we plan to search.
01:50After the three days, maybe the national government can help us.
01:56If there is a national disaster, they have a chopper that can help.
02:04Until now, there is still heavy rain in Kasiguran.
02:08But what many are more concerned about are the damaged rice crops and the rotten corn from this crop of Mangrenet,
02:16which should be harvested by the end of the month.
02:18It can't be saved.
02:19Even if you can get some, it's just a small amount.
02:28Mel, it is expected that the farmers here in Aurora will wait longer for the effects of the agriculture.
02:34That's why they are calling on the government to give them assistance so that they can start again.
02:39Mel?
02:40Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
