00:00A forced evacuation was carried out in houses in Daetka Marina, Snorte.
00:05And Sandra Aguinaldo was there.
00:09Sandra?
00:11Yes, Pia. I'm here now in Bagasbas Beach.
00:14And this is a well-known surfing destination.
00:16But now, it can be said that the waves are really bigger
00:20because of the Pipito storm.
00:22And a while ago, since yesterday, Pia,
00:25the local government carried out a forced evacuation.
00:29Moreover, the waves here are expected to reach 2 to 3 meters.
00:37They said it's a forced evacuation.
00:39We went here and explained that it's a forced evacuation.
00:43Barangay San Isidro in Bahaing Lugar in Daetka Marina, Snorte, is included.
00:48The authorities went home to force the residents to evacuate.
00:52It's been two days since they went to this house.
00:56Now, there's nothing we can do.
01:00We have a vehicle with us so that we can bring all of our belongings here.
01:07In the end, the residents were forced to evacuate.
01:10That's why we're like this.
01:12Sometimes, when a storm hits, they ask for rescue.
01:17It's really bad there.
01:19People were swept away.
01:21It's hard to rescue.
01:23Ms. Aurora's family didn't want to evacuate because it's more comfortable at home.
01:28We have animals there.
01:31They said it's a forced evacuation.
01:35So, we just followed them.
01:37Ms. Aurora decided to stay at her relative's house in the town.
01:42The forced evacuation was carried out in the barangays of Bagasbas, Awitan, Hubat, and Mambalite.
01:50According to the MDRRMO,
01:52it's important to evacuate those who are by the sea and flood-prone areas before it gets dark
01:57because it's expected to rain non-stop from tonight until tomorrow.
02:02We can't see, but we're in the inner wall.
02:05We can't breathe.
02:07Fishing is prohibited, but earlier this morning,
02:10a few people still tried to survive.
02:14Surfing is a well-known surfing destination,
02:16but surfing is prohibited because of the typhoon.
02:25Pia, as far as I'm concerned,
02:28you can see the strong waves now.
02:31In Marines Sur, particularly in Naga City,
02:34the curfew has been in effect since this afternoon until further notice.
02:39According to Mayor Nelson Legacion,
02:41everyone must stay at their homes or evacuation centers
02:45and close their businesses.
02:48Emergency responders, barangay staff, and CDRRMC personnel are not included in the curfew.
02:54According to the Office of Civil Defense,
02:56Katanduanes, Tiwi, Malinaw, Rapu-Rapu, and Legaspi City
03:03were among those affected by the storm surge in Region 5.
03:07That's all for now, Pia.
03:08Here's the latest from DAET.
03:11Pia?
03:12Sandra, we can see the strong winds and the strong waves.
03:15Take care and thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
