00:00Bicol and Eastern Visayas are getting ready for the possible direct hit of the typhoon Pepito
00:06because it's possible that it will be a super typhoon.
00:09They are expecting up to a 3-meter storm surge.
00:12According to the forecast, the typhoon will hit Ivan Mayrina.
00:19In the last two days, the line of this hardware in Catanduanes was filled with people
00:24in the vicinity of the typhoon Pepito.
00:26But it also served as an opportunity to help.
00:29Because of this, it's not being sold, but the plywood and pako are being stopped
00:33so that more people can get ready for the typhoon.
00:36In the town of Vira, the residents got up early.
00:40While in the vicinity of Osor Sogon, a curfew was implemented.
00:44In Del Gallego, Camarilla Sur, the roofs were tied and the boats were lifted to a safer place.
00:51While in Guiwan, Eastern Samar, coastal waters were warned of a possible storm surge.
00:57This is one of the threats to Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region, Calabarzon, and even Metro Manila this weekend.
01:04This was mentioned in the briefing of the President.
01:07We will continue to monitor the storm surge that could reach more than 3 meters.
01:14It seems to be a significant one because if we're talking about 3 meters, that's almost one floor.
01:21So we really need to warn the LGUs.
01:27The President ordered a mandatory evacuation, particularly in Eastern Visayas, Catanduanes, and Quezon.
01:32According to the DILG, 200,000 people are expected to be affected.
01:37For now, it's 3 meters strong.
01:39But if it gets stronger, it will increase to at least 1 or 2 meters.
01:45They will be far from the coast because of the high projected height of the storm surge.
01:53Because of the 6th typhoon in more than 3 weeks, agriculture is more affected.
01:58The first affected was the El Nino.
02:01That's why rice needs to be imported more in the next year.
02:05We will import close to 4.5 million tons.
02:09Last year, we imported 3.9 million tons.
02:11Of course, we will do everything to control the price of all the food,
02:15especially all of those products that have been damaged or destroyed by the series of typhoons that have come.
02:24The government has promised to provide supplies for rescue, food, and other necessities for those who will be evacuated.
