00:00The Philippines is almost out of breath because of the next-to-next typhoon.
00:05The government's Php 8 billion quick response fund is about to run out,
00:09but the NDRMC says it will be full again.
00:12Darlene Kai is in the news.
00:18While the typhoon Marse is still raging in the north of Luzon,
00:21five typhoons have not passed through Cagayan Valley
00:24according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council or NDRMC.
00:28Eight roads have not passed through the region,
00:30including Ilocos Region and Cordilleras.
00:35And landslides have affected roads in Peñablanca, Cagayan,
00:38and Adams, Ilocos Norte, although none were damaged.
00:41We are not the only ones missing because of the typhoon Marse.
00:45But 32,000 were severely affected,
00:48including 17,000 in evacuation centers in Regions 1, 2, and Cordilleras Administrative Region.
00:55Local governments and the Social Welfare Department continue to assist the typhoons.
01:00Although the government's Php 8 billion quick response fund needs to be filled again
01:05because of the next-to-next typhoons that hit the Philippines.
01:08We got, of course, the commitment from the President himself that they will replenish this.
01:13It is important, especially in places in the north,
01:15that it will be difficult if the next typhoons pass again.
01:19The lands that were passed by Christine, Leon, and now Marse are now saturated.
01:27The implication is that the landslide-prone areas will be more vulnerable.
01:32Aside from strict surveillance and evacuation before the typhoons arrived,
01:36the agency reminded the DNR Mines and Geosciences Bureau to follow the Geohazard Map.
01:43The President also reminded that there should not be no severe landslides left by the Super Typhoon Yolanda
01:49that affected the lives of more than 7,000 people.
01:5211 years have passed this month.
01:55That's why he should look for ways to stop the climate change
01:59and ensure quick assistance to those in need.
02:04As mentioned, he is being targeted by the President.
02:07That's why he will not attend the APEC Summit this year.
02:10This is the first time since he took office.
02:13DTI Secretary Maria Cristina Roque was sent as a special envoy for the APEC Summit in Lima, Peru.
02:20For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, for 24 Hours.
