00:14We are now near the Coastal Barangay of Kawakan in Ilocos Norte
00:18where we can see a part of the West Philippine Sea
00:23and the direction of Hurricane Christine.
00:27There are strong waves and there is a gale warning.
00:30It is not allowed to swim and fishing is also prohibited.
00:35Even though Hurricane Christine did not directly hit the residents of Ilocos Norte,
00:41they were able to evacuate the residents who live in the barangays that are usually flooded.
00:48In the latest update from the provincial office of Ilocos Norte,
00:51about 534 families or 1,607 individuals were affected or evacuated because of Hurricane Christine.

01:11but no one was seriously damaged because of the storm.
01:15At this time, the sun is shining but it is still cloudy and it is not advisable to come here and swim.
