00:00The force evacuation in Daet, Camarinas Norte has now been carried out as part of the preparation for the Pepito storm.
00:06The storm surge warning has also been raised, which can reach up to 3 meters high.
00:12Live, this is Sandra Aguinaldo, Sandra.
00:18Yes, Emil, I'm here at Bagas Bas Elementary School here in Daet, Camarinas Norte.
00:24And you can see, behind me, there are already evacuees.
00:28Earlier, a force evacuation was carried out in the nearby coastal areas.
00:35And these are the barangays of Bagas Bas, Gubat, San Isidro, Mambalite, and Awitan, which are called coastal areas.
00:44As of 2 p.m., Emil, 80 families are in this school.
00:48According to Daet MDRRMO, there is a storm surge warning of 2 to 3 meters in the next 48 hours.
00:56That's why they are carrying out a force evacuation.
01:00However, Emil, it's already night, so they will continue this tomorrow,
01:05because they believe that there are still people staying in their houses near the town.
01:13And for now, Emil, we don't feel any rain here yet,
01:18but the local government is preparing for the rain tomorrow,
01:23and it could continue until Sunday.
01:27And they are also preparing to preposition people in certain areas,
01:34so that if there are places that can be isolated, they already have people there.
01:40So that's all for now, Emil. The last report is from Daet.
01:44Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
