01:36Stay tuned for the latest news later this afternoon
01:38on the 11 a.m. bulletin regarding the typhoon Marse
01:40and the new list of places with a wind signal.
01:46Later this afternoon,
01:48the typhoon is expected to be out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
01:52Despite this, there is still a chance of rain and wind
01:55that will be affected by the typhoon Marse.
01:57Heavy to intense rains are expected in the next few hours
02:01or strong to severe rains in Ilocos provinces,
02:04while moderate to heavy rains or severe
02:07to severe rains will be experienced in La Union,
02:10Calinga, Apayaw, and Abra.
02:12Residents were alerted from Bantanang Baha or Landslide.
02:17There is still a threat of a three-meter high
02:20or storm surge in some coastal areas of Ilocos Norte,
02:23while 2.1 to 3 meters in Cagayan, Ilocosur, and La Union.
02:28It is risky and dangerous for sea vehicles to sail
02:32in the surrounding villages of the Ilocos region,
02:34Batanes, and Cagayan, along with the Babuyan Islands.
02:38While the PAR is already releasing the typhoon Marse,
02:41there is a new LPA being monitored in the Pacific Ocean.
02:45Clearing operations are underway
02:47for the authorities in several towns in Cagayan
02:49after the typhoon Marse.
02:51Let's follow up on the spot
02:53with Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
02:57Jasmine.
03:00Rafi, the cleaning operation is being carried out
03:03by the authorities in the towns of Santa Ana and Gonzaga
03:07since 5 o'clock this morning.
03:09Meanwhile, the LGU of Santa Ana has already started
03:12to visit various barangays to assess
03:15how widespread the damage left by the typhoon Marse
03:18after landfall yesterday afternoon in the area.
03:24Many houses were damaged by the typhoon Marse.
03:27Aside from the houses,
03:28several establishments were also damaged
03:30and the local government unit was involved.
03:32There were power outages.
03:34As a result, it is possible that it will take a long time
03:36for the power supply to return to various towns.
03:39As of 9 a.m.,
03:41there will be no power supply in 13 towns.
03:45The communication lines in several towns
03:47such as Santa Ana, Calayan,
03:49and even in a part of Sanchez Mira will be difficult.
03:53As of 9 a.m.,
03:54there are 13,000 families in the evacuation center.
03:59There was also flooding in several parts of Cagayan.
04:02The intensity of Cagayan River is increasing
04:04to 6 meters above the alert level.
04:07Meanwhile, Rafi,
04:08I just want to update the town of Santa Teresita
04:11where the weather is better at this time.
04:13The weather is clearer.
04:15At the same time,
04:16several places are experiencing flooding.
04:18Just like in our area,
04:20I will just show the situation
04:22because if you will notice,
04:24this is a flood in the house.
04:27That is an hectare of rice
04:29where there are crops of rice
04:32that should be harvested in December.
04:34But because of the heavy rain,
04:36the rice of Baguio was submerged in the flood.
04:40Aside from Palayan,
04:41Kapuso was also submerged in the flood.
04:43This road,
04:45this is the road in the town of Santa Teresita
04:47where it goes straight to the town of Gonzaga
04:51and the town of Santa Ana.
04:52It is passable for all motorists
04:54but they just need to be careful
04:56because the water level is a bit high
04:59in this area.
05:00Rafi?
05:01Jasmine, are there still places
05:03that are not in contact at this time
05:05in Cagayan?
05:09Actually, Rafi,
05:10there are towns
05:12where we came from
05:15in the town of Santa Ana, Rafi.
05:17We were not able to call
05:18and we will not be able to call.
05:19In the town of Calayan,
05:21the communication line is still disconnected.
05:25In San Chasmira,
05:26there are parts there
05:27where there is still no communication line.
05:30That is based on our investigation
05:33in PDRRMO Cagayan, Rafi.
05:35You mentioned, Jasmine,
05:36that the Cagayan River
05:37has already passed the alert level.
05:39If the water level increases,
05:40is it possible for the residents
05:41to escape again?
05:46Yes, Rafi.
05:47If the Cagayan River
05:48continues to rise,
05:52there is a possibility
05:53that the residents will still escape
05:55especially those who live
05:56in Maytugay, Garao City
05:58because if the Cagayan River
06:00rises more than 6 meters,
06:02there are towns there
06:04where it floods.
06:06That is why the local government
06:08is implementing a pre-emptive evacuation
06:11if the water level
06:12is slowly rising.
06:14So if, for example, Rafi,
06:16if it continues to rain upstream,
06:18it is expected that the water level
06:20in the Cagayan River will increase.
06:22How is the supply of electricity
06:23in the Cagayan?
06:26For now, Rafi,
06:27there are more towns
06:28that do not have electricity.
06:30Rafi, what I really understand
06:32is the effect of the Mars earthquake.
06:34Yesterday, during our trip,
06:36there were so many posts of electricity,
06:38Rafi, that were really affected.
06:40The cables of electricity
06:41were far away.
06:42That is why the authorities said
06:44that it is possible that the restoration
06:46of the supply of electricity
06:47will take a long time.
06:48But according to the PDRRMO,
06:50during our conversation earlier,
06:52we were able to help
06:55the electric cooperatives
06:57from different provinces
06:59to speed up the restoration
07:01of the damaged lines of electricity
07:03in the province of Cagayan, Rafi.
07:05So be careful
07:06so that the electricity can be restored soon.
07:07Thank you very much.
07:08Take care.

07:14The Mars earthquake also cut
07:16several places in Northern Luzon.
07:18The strong wind that accompanied
07:20the rain in Sarat and Lauag
07:22in Ilocos Norte
07:24also affected Pagudpun.
07:26Because of the strong waves there,
07:28a part of a seawall was damaged.
07:30In Luna, Apayau,
07:32the residents also felt
07:34the rain and strong wind.
07:36Also in the neighboring town
07:38of Abulog, Cagayan.
07:40In Kalayan,
07:42there was a strong wind
07:44that also affected
07:46Cagayan. In Kalayan,
07:48the waves were raging.
07:50The water was almost reaching
07:52a river in Kamalinyugan.
08:00The Mars earthquake
08:02in Sanchezmira, Cagayan
08:04also cut
08:06the roof of a house.
08:08It was getting worse
08:10because it was slowly eroding.
08:12For a few moments,
08:14the roof was blown away.
08:16Their belongings were also wet inside the house.
08:18No one was able to do anything
08:20but to shout and cry
08:22because of the situation.
08:24In the neighboring town of Lumicas,
08:26the children who lived in the house
08:28passed away last night.
08:30Hulicam in Tondo, Manila
08:32was hit and run twice
08:34by a man.
08:36The owner of two motorcycles
08:38was also affected by the incident.
08:40Reporting by James Agustin.
08:44From Antipolo Street,
08:46the barangay's CCTV camera
08:48captured a man
08:50who was walking on Abad Santos Avenue
08:52in Tondo, Manila early this morning.
08:54The man suddenly
08:56stopped in the middle of the road.
08:58In another angle of the CCTV,
09:00the man continued to walk
09:02until he was suddenly hit
09:04by a motorcycle.
09:06The man fell on the road.
09:08The rider quickly left.
09:10After 8 seconds,
09:12another motorcycle rider
09:14was hit by the man.
09:16The rider even fell down.
09:18His motorcycle was stopped and left.
09:20In the CCTV footage,
09:22a concerned citizen approached the victim.
09:24He also reported the incident
09:26to the barangay.
09:28We responded.
09:30The medical unit also arrived
09:32but they didn't move the body.
09:34Then they checked him
09:36but he said his wrist was gone.
09:38They declared him dead on the spot.
09:40The 36-year-old man
09:42was dead on the spot.
09:44His family was very peaceful.
09:46The accident happened
09:48almost 30 meters
09:50from the victim's house.
09:52His mother told her
09:54at 8 o'clock last night
09:56that she was drinking with her son
09:58and two friends.
10:00Her son left to drink again
10:02near the road.
10:04He was about to go home
10:06when the accident happened.
10:08His mother said
10:10there was an accident.
10:12She said
10:14she was already covered
10:16by an ambulance.
10:18I went down
10:20and approached him.
10:22The Manila District Traffic Enforcement Unit
10:24continued the investigation.
10:26Even though the CCTV camera
10:28captured the incident,
10:30the authorities couldn't
10:32prove the two motorcycles' license plates.
10:34If anyone of you
10:36did something wrong,
10:38please report it.
10:40You don't have a heart.
10:42According to the barangay,
10:44the streetlights in the area
10:46were broken for months.
10:48He was prone to accidents
10:50because it was dark.
10:52Recently, the streetlights
10:54didn't work.
10:56That's why we patrolled the area.
10:58We requested to fix
11:00the streetlights as soon as possible
11:02so that it will be brighter
11:04and we can avoid accidents.
