00:17Connie, the rain is pouring down.
00:19You are experiencing strong winds
00:21here in Ilagan City, in Isabela.
00:24More than 300 families are staying in the 13 evacuation centers.
00:29Others were not allowed to return to their homes,
00:31especially those who live in low-lying areas and by the river.
00:35Residents say they have been in the evacuation center for four days.
00:39Even wild animals such as cows and calves were evacuated
00:43because some of the farms were flooded.
00:45The Bakulud Bridge still cannot pass
00:47because of the flooding of Pinakanawan River.
00:49The Emergency Operations Center of Lalawigan is in a red alert status.
00:53Coastal municipalities such as Palanan,
00:57Dibilakan, Makonakon, and Dinapigue were evacuated

01:02Residents were evacuated there.
01:04Connie, according to Palanan,
01:06more than 500 residents were evacuated
01:10before we arrived in Umeri.
01:12The flood level in that area is really high.
01:15James, usually, the government provides food
01:18and relief goods to people.
01:20What about the food of the animals that were also evacuated?
01:27Yes, Connie.
01:28We noticed that the animals that were evacuated,
