00:00Some residents of Batangas have just recovered from the storm but they need to evacuate because of the storm Pepito.
00:09And live from Batangas, Joseph Moro.
00:12Joseph.
00:15Ivan, just now, some residents of Laurel, Batangas were told to evacuate.
00:21The storm hit them just a month ago.
00:25Wait.
00:28In Barangay Poblacion 3, Laurel, Batangas, in Riwa Pasapaligid, the storm Christine hit in October.
00:34Trees and bushes were hit and flooded.
00:39The police are talking to the residents, especially the residents of Bugaan River, who evacuated.
00:45It's okay, for our safety.
00:48It's scary, if we don't evacuate, we'll end up in the river.
00:51Pre-emptive evacuation.
00:52Pre-emptive.
00:53It won't happen again like what happened in the storm Christine.
00:56This Bugaan Bridge here in Batangas was destroyed by the storm Christine when it hit the province of Batangas.
01:04Now, this Barangay Bugaan in Laurel is being guarded by the authorities for the possible effect of the storm Pepito
01:12because the residents are just recovering.
01:17The pontoons that served as the temporary bridge after the bridge was destroyed
01:21were first removed by the Philippine Coast Guard Southern Tagalog
01:24so that they won't bring water in case it floods again.
01:29It's only been a month since the storm Christine hit Batangas.
01:33Many houses have lands from the previous flood.
01:38In Rio Sawana, Calilicas, when the storm Christine hit, people flooded their houses.
01:43They are just cleaning up in case the storm Pepito hits again.
01:48We are just praying to God that it won't flood here in Calupat.
01:55So that we are all safe.
01:59They will continue with their family.
02:03In a school in Barangay Aziz, there are 40 families or more than 200 residents who will be affected by the storm.
02:14The province has now issued an alert.
02:17That's why the local government called on the residents to cooperate
02:21especially if they need to add more residents in Ililicas, Ivan.
02:25Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
