00:00A barge that crashed in Navotas after being hit by a wave is guarded by the Coast Guard.
00:05There was also a barge that crashed in Cavite, but it was a success.
00:09From the town of Rosario in Cavite, Raffi Timang, Raffi, was able to report live.
00:18Emil, if you can see behind me, it might be a bit dark,
00:23This is the minor damage to this minor pier.
00:25This is the only sign of a barge crashing here in Rosario, Cavite,
00:30in the aftermath of the storm Enteng.
00:33Just a while ago, the barge that almost hit the people here in Barangay Wawados was pulled.
00:42Using two tugboats, this barge was successfully pulled
00:45after crashing Monday morning in this part of Wawados.
00:48Its front part hit this minor pier
00:51owned by an oil company.
00:53The pipe where the fuel products are unloaded did not break,
00:58but it needs to be put under an integrity test before it can be used again.
01:02Manuel, who lives near the place where the barge crashed,
01:06was shocked by the speed of the incident.
01:09When I opened it, it was closed.
01:11Suddenly, it was open.
01:15The wind and rain were really strong at that time.
01:18In the initial investigation of the Philippine Coast Guard,
01:21the barge was able to lower the load of the wind
01:23in the neighboring town of Tanza and temporarily anchored.
01:26But due to the strong wind and waves,
01:28its rope was broken and it was pulled towards Wawados.
01:32It's a good thing that the boat was not hit.
01:35The operation was done yesterday afternoon to remove the barge
01:38because the residents are already afraid of its sharp tip.
01:41It's a perversion of life.
01:45The owner of the barge is already tired
01:48and promised to pay for the damage it caused.
01:52In Tangos North, Navotas City,
01:54the PCG continues to monitor another barge that crashed.
01:58The barge in Tanza, Navotas was tied to the San Miguel Shipping Lighterage Wharf.
02:02Its rope was broken,
02:04so it was pulled by the waves at 6 a.m. earlier.
02:07It was pulled by a tugboat,
02:09but due to the strong wind and waves,
02:11its rope was broken and it was pulled towards the lower part of the mountain in Tangos North, Navotas City.
02:16The PCG is just waiting for the right time
02:19before they inspect it.
02:26Emil, to our Philippine Coast Guard,
02:28there are fishermen here in Tanza, Cavite.
02:31It's very common for the barges to stay
02:34when a strong storm occurs.
02:37That's why the authorities will review
02:39the regulations on anchoring the barges
02:42whenever a storm occurs.
02:44Emil?
02:45Thank you very much, Raffy Tima.
