00:00Because of the typhoon that left Christine stranded on the Maharlika Highway for a week,
00:05some motorists traveled to Manila from Naga City.
00:08There are still 10 days left to ride the bus,
00:11even though there is still hope from the Philippine Marine Sur.
00:16John Consulta was able to tune in live.
00:18John!
00:21Emil, according to the PNP-PRO5,
00:26all types of vehicles that were stranded here in Camp Sur and Naga City for a week can now pass.
00:34This is after the flood.
00:41The number of trucks and vehicles that are trying to travel to Manila from Naga City
00:46is increasing day by day.
00:49Most of them were stranded for a week
00:52because they were not able to cross the flood-stricken road on the Maharlika Highway.
00:56We've been stranded here for a week.
00:59We really want to go back to Manila.
01:02For us, it's better because we still have a long way to go.
01:06We still have a long way to go.
01:11Three hours stop and three hours go.
01:13We have to talk to the other lines.
01:16This bus, which came from Ormoc,
01:19has been riding for 10 days.
01:21The passengers are struggling to get to their homes and do not have money to buy food.
01:26This is one of the OFWs, Amflor, who has a flight to Qatar this Wednesday.
01:31I have a flight to catch on Wednesday.
01:34We have to be there by Tuesday because we have no food here.
01:40The Maharlika Highway from Manila to Matnog is now open.
01:44Even so, because of the number of people stranded,
01:47we are controlling their entry
01:50because we are prioritizing relief goods and the immediate needs of our victims.
01:56PNP PRO-5 brought their water desalination equipment to the town of Nabua
02:02where we were able to pick up some of our countrymen who are prioritizing relief goods.
02:07They agreed to provide clean drinking water that the residents here need.
02:12We need clean water.
02:15Thank you very much.
02:20PNP PRO-5 also deployed police to monitor the facilities
02:24so that people will not enter a convenience store again
02:27one day after the quake.
02:31We were able to catch the ship of the mission
02:36that the establishments were waiting for
02:39to prevent another case of looting.
02:44As a help to those who are still in evacuation,
02:47GMA Kapusin Foundation conducted a feeding program in Naga City.
02:51At this time, you can see behind me, on the side of the road,
02:55there is a long line of trucks here at Maharlika Highway,
03:00on the side of Pilicabreng, Sur.
03:02According to the drivers we talked to,
03:04they are just waiting for a warning from the PNP personnel
03:07who are in charge of my priority
03:09so that they can start their journey back to Metro Manila.
03:13That's all for now here in Pilicabreng, Sur.
03:16Back to you, Emil.
03:17Thank you very much, John Consulta.
