00:00Two scenarios are being looked at by Pag-asa,

00:02that a typhoon may hit Ophel.

00:05Meanwhile, the Office of Civil Defense has ordered evacuees

00:09not to return to their homes for their safety.

00:15Benji Durango of PTV, in Balitang Pambansa, live.

00:22Just like what we heard in the report earlier,

00:25just a while ago by Pag-asa Weather Forecaster,

00:28the typhoon Nika is just about to exit Makatuit.

00:34This means that there are two typhoons

00:36inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

00:39Although the typhoon Ophel has not yet had a direct effect

00:43on our country,

00:44the typhoon Nika has just entered the park at 3 o'clock in the early morning.

00:47The weather is still bad in some places,

00:50in Cagayan Valley, in Maybabuyan,

00:52and even in the Ilocos region,

00:53because of the typhoon Nika.

00:57But according to the DOST,

00:59it is expected that the typhoon Ophel will landfall on Thursday afternoon or evening.

01:03Two scenarios are being monitored by Pag-asa.

01:05First, a northern or central typhoon will hit.

01:08Second, it will re-record,

01:10but it will hit the typhoon Bitbitang Hangin at Unan.

01:15It will have a different risk scenario,

01:16but both will have an impact on the country,

01:18such as flash floods, landslides, and storm surge.

01:22Regarding Ophel,

01:24as we can see,

01:25Ophel's gulf signature is a bit disorganized.

01:30Once it becomes compact,

01:32like the typhoon Nika,

01:34we can identify the areas

01:38that are likely to be affected by the typhoon.

01:41For the past 24 hours,

01:42the concentration of the typhoon Nika

01:44was only in some areas of the northern central zone area.

01:47At present, the situation of Ophel

01:50will have a higher potential of flooding.

01:54Just like now,

01:55the Cagayan River system is flooding.

01:57The Cagayan River and the Pinakanawan River.

02:00It has flooded the off-road bridges.

02:02Many residents are still in the evacuation centers.

02:07As we can see,

02:07the data of the emergency evacuation

02:10is increasing.

02:11Because our families are really

02:14exposed to the typhoon.

02:18We are waiting for the report of the DDA.

02:21According to the Office of Civil Defense Region 2,

02:248,526 people are currently

02:27remaining in the evacuation centers.

02:29Last month,

02:306,070 families,

02:33or 19,826 people,

02:37were affected by the following typhoons

02:39from 300 to 62 barangays

02:44in the provinces of Cagayan,

02:45Isabela, Quirino, and Nueva Vizcaya.

02:48Because of the last typhoon in Cagayan Valley,

02:50OCD Regional Director Leon Rafael

02:53in LGUs issued a warning

02:54that evacuees should not return

02:57to their homes

02:58to ensure their safety.

03:01Authorities are not having a hard time

03:03evacuating again.

03:05This is for residents of riverbanks,

03:07landslide-prone, and coastal areas

03:09that are first affected by the wind,

03:11rain, and flood.

03:12Aside from the government's resources,

03:14the equipment of the government's private contractors

03:16is also included in their inventory.

03:18The trucks, boats,

03:19and other equipment used by these contractors

03:22are also prepositioned

03:23to assist in rescue and clearing operations.

03:26This is based on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s orders.

03:31We have the support of the contractors.

03:35If the government can't handle it,

03:40especially the Department of Public Works

03:43and Highways,

03:44they will help us.

03:45We already have previous

03:47memorandum of understanding

03:49with them.

03:50They will help us

03:52when we need them.

03:56OCD assured that

03:58evacuees' food supplies are sufficient

04:00with the help of the DSWD

04:02and the help of the local government.

04:05I am giving a special respect

04:08to them

04:09and I am proud of them.

04:11I am also proud of Mr. Seaborn

04:13and his wife.

04:14The local government

04:16has a lot of

04:18food banks

04:20that they can use.

04:22If they need

04:24food supplies,

04:26we will provide them.

04:28The local government

04:30will provide them

04:32food supplies

04:34in the areas

04:36that will be affected

04:38by the next floods.

04:40We will provide them

04:42food supplies.

04:44Alan said that

04:46all hands are on deck

04:48when it comes to

04:50monitoring the effects

04:52of the next floods in our country.

04:54Alan.

04:56Thank you very much, Benji Durango.
