00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04Whatever time it is now, the typhoon Helen will enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility,
00:12which is a fast-moving typhoon.
00:14The typhoon Helen has passed through the land,
00:16but the typhoon continues to make it stronger.
00:19It's raining, just like in Palawan.
00:21Live, Joseph Mora.
00:23Joseph.
00:26Vicky Emil, many municipalities in Palawan were affected by the typhoon.
00:31According to the Palawan Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council,
00:34more than 6,000 residents were affected by the typhoon.
00:43This is not a river, but rice fields that were affected by the continuous rain
00:47brought by the typhoon.
00:49Some residents are now banking to return to their homes.
00:53Animals are also being left on the streets.
00:56Some houses are now covered in water.
00:59To find out how high the water has risen in many rice fields here in Rojas in Palawan,
01:06let's look at the man over there in that rice field
01:09that looks like a river, and the water has reached its peak.
01:14Many of the rice fields here,
01:16what we are told is that those rice fields will be affected by the typhoon.
01:20All of these rice fields were affected by the typhoon.
01:23The typhoon started on Friday.
01:25Oh, Friday.
01:26Then, last night, the typhoon really hit hard.
01:30You didn't evacuate?
01:33We already evacuated.
01:35I just went back to my house.
01:37What time do you think the typhoon will hit?
01:39It will take a long time.
01:41It will reach Saturday, I think.
01:45Because it's still raining.
01:46Yes, it's still raining.
01:47The rain continues.
01:48This was captured by the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Office of the LDO on September 15,
01:53and it clearly shows the strength of the typhoon in the sea.
01:56Some residents of Barangay Bebeladan, an isolated area, were rescued.
02:02In Barangay Abongan in Taytay, Palawan, there are also many rivers.
02:06The typhoon started yesterday.
02:08The rice fields were flooded because the rivers were flooding again.
02:11About to be arrested in Patinsana.
02:13Just a few weeks ago, it was damaged.
02:17In the tourist town of San Vicente, the barangays were also flooded because of the unceasing rain.
02:23More than 500 families and 2,000 individuals were affected.
02:27They were evacuated to evacuation centers and schools.

02:34The MDRRMO immediately carried out a clearing operation.
02:38Earlier this morning, there was also a landslide in Barangay Kemdeng in San Vicente.
02:42That's why the roads there are not accessible.
