00:00The supply of gasoline is running out in some areas of the vehicle.
00:05That's why it's being monitored for possible hoarding.
00:08It's the same with other purchases.
00:11But some parts of the region received oil trucks
00:16that were sent by the Energy Department.
00:18From Libon to Albay, Chino Gaston is live.
00:24Chino?
00:26There's a problem with the supply of gasoline here in Albay
00:30due to the slow arrival of fuel tanker trucks
00:34to the province and the delay in the shipments
00:38due to the upcoming typhoon León.
00:45This gas station in Legazpi, Albay was immediately filled
00:48when it saw that there was a supply of oil.
00:50According to the employees, the supply just arrived last night.
00:53I'm looking for gas.
00:54I just saw that there's one here.
00:56So when you saw it, you ran?
00:58Yes.
00:59There's no gasoline.
01:01There's no gasoline now?
01:02Yes, it's running out.
01:04I'm in a queue.
01:05Some have been looking for gasoline for 6 days.
01:08Other gas stations are still closed because the supply is running out.
01:12The supply of oil products in Birak and Tanduanes is also running out.
01:16While in Bulan and Sorsogon, there's still gasoline to be bought.
01:22But it's only limited to Php 200 per vehicle
01:25so that more people can buy it.
01:27The lack of supply is due to the slow arrival of fuel trucks
01:31that are trafficking at the boundary of Camarines Surat, Albay.
01:34The number of people there has decreased by kilometers.
01:37The Albay Provincial Government and the DTI
01:41helped to stop the hoarding of gasoline and other primary goods.
01:45Maybe people are hoarding.
01:47That's one of the things we're thinking about.
01:50We talked to the Price Monitoring Council
01:56and the DTI
01:58so that we can control such situations.
02:02According to the Department of Energy,
02:04their fuel caravans have already entered Naga City
02:08and other places in Bicol Region
02:10with the required supply of gasoline and LPG.
02:1376% of our gas stations in Bicol Region
02:18that are operational.
02:20180 out of 236 outlets.
02:28And of course, the remaining 24%
02:33we will check if it's safe to operate again
02:39and if their products are not contaminated.
02:43Meanwhile, there are still roads that are not totally cleared
02:48from the coastal areas from UAS Albay to the town of Limon.
02:51There is still no electricity here at the moment
02:53and the clearing operations are still ongoing
02:55and the accumulation of fallen posts and electricity.
02:58It's a dangerous place for motorists.
03:01Until now, there are still evacuees in the province of Albay.
03:04Among them are more than 2,500 people
03:08who were damaged or lost their homes in the town of Jovelliar.
03:11Our barangay is full.
03:14The two floors of the house are locked up.
03:17It's up to there.
03:19That's why we haven't been able to go back yet.
03:22The bottles that were thrown away,
03:25because there are a lot of them.
03:27And the ones that are falling down.
03:32What are the things that we need here at the evacuation center?
03:35Here at the evacuation center,
03:37it's always just food.
03:44In our tour,
03:47to reach the nearby towns of the province of Albay,
03:50we arrived at Barangay Pantau in the town of Limon
03:54where there is no electricity.
03:56Residents were affected,
03:58just like other coastal barangays
04:00from Peodoran to the town of Limon.
04:03Our vehicles were stopped
04:06because we arrived at this part of the road
04:09where Barangay Pantau collided with the town of Limon proper
04:12because the entire road collapsed.
04:15It was blocked by the riprap wall
04:18with steel supports
04:20due to the impact of Hurricane Christine.
04:23Mel.
04:24Chino, Storm Signal No. 1 is located below
04:27the province of Albay
04:29because of Hurricane Leon.
04:31Are there other places like that?
04:33Chino?
04:36If you ask me,
04:39there are places that are flooded.
04:42There are places that have water
04:45but you can't say that they are flooded.
04:48But when the places here are flooded,
04:51the people are still cleaning
04:53the potholes and other damaged parts
04:56of their houses.
04:58The roads are still being cleared.
05:00Well, if the effects of the storm
05:04that is coming,
05:06Hurricane Leon,
05:08will have a big impact
05:10because the residents are still waking up.
05:12Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.
