00:00It was also made clear that the effect of a critical level of the Bunton Bridge in Tuguegarao City will have a negative impact on the country.
00:07This is the detail of the national news of Mary Joy Javier of PIA, Cagayan Valley.
00:14Around 9 a.m. this morning, the water level in Bunton Bridge, Tuguegarao City was already at 11.1 meters.
00:22It has already exceeded the critical level of 11 meters.
00:25DOST explained to Senior Weather Specialist Romeo Ganal Jr. that when the water level in Bunton Bridge reached the critical level,
00:34it means that 80% of the capacity of the Lower Cagayan River, based on its assessment level, is already full.
00:42Ganal added that even though the water level is already low, it already contains more water.
00:49In almost all of these rivers, in particular, the areas of Amulong, Alacapan, Gataran, and the downstream areas of the Lower Cagayan River,
01:00it is possible that there are places here where the water level of the river has already reached and it is still flowing.
01:07According to the latest data from DSWD Region 2,
01:10the total number of affected families in the entire region is already 11,986 or more than 39,000 individuals from 546 affected barangays.
01:21According to DSWD Regional Director Lucia Suyu-Alan,
01:25DSWD has sufficient supply to accommodate the families in need of urgent help.
01:31It is sufficient, but we have to anticipate the rising water level.
01:37That is why we also asked for augmentation support from the Central Office of 30,000 Family Food Packs.
01:48The movement of various agencies and local governments in various regions is also ongoing.
01:55For example, the PNP, Philippine Coast Guard, Bureau of Fire Protection, and other branches of the government.
02:01These are already pre-positioned in houses or low-lying areas in the province.
02:07Each group, as well as the private organizations, gave their assistance to the evacuated residents here in Tuguegarao.
