00:00The flood reached the town of Milaor in Camarines Sur,
00:05that's why there were many stranded on the road.
00:07Some were even emotional because it couldn't reach the day of the Father.
00:13Ian Cruz was shocked.
00:18The flood stopped just like the Hurricane Christine.
00:20The movement of vehicles on the Maharlika Highway
00:23was accompanied by the San Fernando of Camarines Sur.
00:26The former villages were flooded because of the flood.
00:30There are other houses that can only be seen on top of the water.
00:34On the flooded road, many people walk for a few hours
00:37until they reach a safer place.
00:40Sir, how about Milaor and...
00:42It's not that deep.
00:44It's not that deep?
00:44It's near Lake Lucid.
00:46The Philippine Coast Guard,
00:48including the stranded passengers,
00:51along with seven-month-old son, Eden,
00:54came from the town of Milaor.
00:56Eden's story,
00:57they've been on the rooftop of their neighbor's house for a few days,
01:00but a while ago,
01:00their husband and two-year-old daughter, Sofia,
01:04were almost in danger.
01:07We almost drowned a while ago.
01:10The water was strong.
01:11There were no vehicles.
01:14Not even a boat.
01:16Eden was exhausted,
01:17so we helped her carry Sofia
01:20to a dry place.
01:22The high tide
01:24caused many motorists,
01:26RVs, and their families
01:28to be stranded for two days.
01:29It was so hard.
01:32First, we had to go to the bathroom.
01:34Then, we had to eat.
01:35We didn't have a budget.
01:37This woman
01:38was crying because she couldn't go home to Tabaco Albay
01:41for her father's 95th birthday.
01:44Her siblings came home from Canada
01:46in Milaor that was stranded.
01:48It's daddy's 95th birthday.
01:50Happy birthday, daddy.
01:51Even though we're here.
01:54Until now,
01:55here in San Fernando,
01:56here in Camarines Sur,
01:58the wind is really strong
01:59that we can feel.
02:01It's still connected
02:02to the passing of the Christine storm.
02:05But more than a kilometer,
02:07the number of vehicles in this place
02:10are the main roads
02:12to Naga City,
02:14to Albay,
02:15and to Visayas and Mindanao
02:17that they can't pass
02:18because according to the residents here,
02:20the water is too high
02:21that it can reach people
02:23in the middle of the calamity.
02:25The help of the Filipinos is increasing
02:27and food is being distributed to the stranded.
02:30We, the stranded,
02:31this is also what we're looking for, food.
02:33I'm encouraging everyone here
02:36to donate food.
02:38We continue to assist the passengers.
02:41The LGU continues to give them
02:44food for free.
02:48According to the San Fernando LGU,
02:50all of their barangays are affected,
02:53where more than 27,000 residents
02:56or more than 10,000 families are affected.
02:59Just last night,
03:00the assets of the Philippine Red Cross
03:03arrived to be used for rescue
03:05in various places here.
