00:00The typhoon Ophel returned to the Philippine Area of Responsibility,
00:04which is hit by Taiwan.
00:06The typhoon hit the northern areas of the Philippines several times.
00:10Darlene Cai has a report.
00:12The typhoon is very strong.
00:17The roof and the walls of some of the cities are broken.
00:21In this situation, groups of students will go to Barangay Santa Margarita
00:26in Bagao, Cagayan, which is closed to the super typhoon Ophel.
00:32The typhoon left a gap in the town of Gonzaga.
00:35Some of the students from Umano fled to the mountains.
00:40These students destroyed Jose's farm.
00:42His cows and pigs were flooded.
00:45Aside from the cow that was saved,
00:47he helped to remove it from the students.
00:50It's hard to explain,
00:52because we have to take care of our lives.
00:57It's up to God.
01:01Because it's sunny,
01:02the students were allowed to go home.
01:07In Ilagan City, Isabela,
01:08a group of evacuees went home.
01:12It's tiring to go home.
01:14We have to carry our things.
01:17We have to clean.
01:20It's hard to live here.
01:23The farms are still flooded.
01:25One rope can't pass through.
01:28In Cabagan City,
01:30the price of rice paddies in agriculture reached P22 million.
01:34It's very hard.
01:36My father's farm was flooded twice.
01:39Of course, our debts will increase.
01:41Our local government unit will give free seeds.
01:47There are no seeds left.
01:50In Adams, Ilocos Norte,
01:52the family of this house,
01:54was affected by a typhoon last week.
01:58I just prayed that the typhoon would end.
02:03Three places in Adams were isolated
02:05because of the damaged roads,
02:07according to the MDRMO.
02:09From where I'm standing,
02:11to that tree,
02:13the cement road was that long.
02:15The land here was destroyed
02:17because of the landslide
02:19when the typhoon hit Mars.
02:21Clearing operations are still difficult
02:23because of the next typhoon.
02:26When we built roads or landslides,
02:30when it rains, the landslides happen again.
02:33The airport is wasted.
02:35It's gone.
02:37We can't go through it properly.
02:42Like other places in Northern Luzon,
02:44Adams' Calamity Fund is running out.
