00:00And let's go back to Atty. Constante Foronda Jr. of DRRMO Isabela. Good morning Atty.
00:06Good morning.
00:08I just want to go back to my question earlier. Let's talk about the landfall. What was the right thing that happened to Christine in your province earlier?
00:17The landfall was not that bad. In fact, one of your reporters was there when the landslide happened.
00:28He said that there was no rain or wind when the landslide happened.
00:35Here in Ilagan, there was rain but not much. There was wind but not much.
00:43Okay. Well, that's good to know. At least, it's not what we're anticipating.
00:48But were there any flooded areas as we speak, sir?
00:52No.
00:54There were no stranded people in their homes?
00:59No.
01:00Did we conduct a preemptive evacuation, Atty.?
01:04Yes. 28 cities and municipalities conducted a preemptive evacuation.
01:11More than 3,000 individuals were evacuated.
01:17DSWD mentioned that they pre-positioned relief items. How are the supplies of relief items for the evacuees?
01:27The system here is that the first to provide relief packs, food and land food is the LGU.
01:36If they finish, they will be called here in Capitolio and we will send an augmentation.
01:44If we finish, the provincial office of DSWD will be here and they will be the ones to provide.
01:52Okay. The lines of communication, it's a good sign. We're talking to you. It means the signal is good.
01:59But the supply of electricity and water, how is it in the province?
02:02Well, there are areas where there are outages because the branches of trees are flowing into the power grid.
02:11But it's also returning right away.
02:13Here in Capitolio, the electricity is from the cooperative.
02:20How about the roads and lifelines? Are there impassable roads?
02:25No. Those are the only overflow bridges that have collapsed. But there are alternate routes.
02:31Okay. So far, we have no injuries or fatalities.
02:37No. God forbid. No.
02:39Attorney, maybe you have a call to the national government or to our good heart to provide help. Go ahead sir.
02:48We are still managing. We don't have contacts so we need outside help.
02:56But if necessary, we will call because we are prepared three days before this sequestration.
03:07My call to the province is to monitor the weather reports of Pagasa so they know what to do.
03:17Attorney Foronda, thank you for accepting our call.
03:21Thank you also.
03:22We talked to Attorney Foronda of DRRMO Isabela.
