00:00The people of Palawan were killed after a tree fell on their house.
00:04Some fishermen were also captured.
00:06Live from the town of Coron, Mark Salazar was in touch with us.
00:10Mark.
00:14Emil, it's just today that the weather is better here.
00:17Well, I'm in the northern part of Palawan, on the island of Coron.
00:20And they say that the weather is just fine today.
00:25But in the past few days and nights,
00:28there has been no rainfall due to the storm.
00:32That's why in different parts of Palawan,
00:34there have been landslides as a result of the storm.
00:41They were struck by lightning.
00:43We were rescued.
00:44Because of the strong winds and waves in the sea,
00:47which covered Palawan,
00:49there were landslides.
00:53The two passengers of a boat had to be rescued
00:56after they were struck by lightning.
00:59The boat came from selling seaweeds
01:02when the incident happened.
01:04They were in safe condition after being struck by lightning.
01:07In Rizal, Palawan,
01:09the 64-year-old grandfather and his 6-year-old grandson were killed
01:14after a tree fell on their house.
01:19Three members of their family are in critical condition
01:22because of the incident.
01:24Coast Guard continues to clean up the fallen trees
01:28in Puerto Princesa,
01:30especially during this difficult time.
01:32According to the DPWH-Mimaropa,
01:34some roads in Palawan and Romblon are still difficult to pass
01:39because of the fallen walls and landslides.
01:42But of course, Emil,
01:44the residents of Palawan are still worried
01:46because the storm Helen is still there
01:48and they are still waiting to see
01:50what will be the effect of this
01:52on the coast,
01:54if this is a strong coast or a weak coast.
01:56As long as the storm Helen does not leave,
01:58they will continue to be alert here.
02:00Live from Coron, Palawan,
02:02for GME Integrated News,
02:04Mark Salazar.
