00:00There are plans to evacuate the landslide-prone areas in Baguio City.
00:04But the tourists there, they don't care about the typhoon.
00:08It's all up to Darlene Tan.
00:11Darlene?
00:14Pia, the whole Baguio City is on a red alert.
00:16That's why the local officials went around earlier to inspect and give notice
00:20to the residents who live in landslide and flood-prone areas.
00:26Even though it's raining in Baguio City, which is at signal number 4,
00:29there are still a lot of tourists.
00:32Since my father is 60 years old, we really need to continue this.
00:38In Wright Park, Kapote pulled the horses that were supposed to go back to their quadra.
00:42The public parks were also closed and some private tourist spots were closed.
00:47The CDRR-MU also evacuated those who live in landslide-prone areas,
00:51like Barangay Dominican Mirador.
00:55Once the over-saturation of our land is reached, that becomes our problem.
01:00If there are any movements that are scary, of course, we will get out of the house.
01:10The LGU also went around the flood-prone areas, like Barangay Lower Rock Quarry,
01:14because the City Camp Lagoon might explode.
01:17Rescue equipment was also deployed.
01:20The Philippine Military Academy also prepared in case the emergency response is needed.
01:29Piang, now, until later this afternoon,
01:31we expect to experience the heavy rainfall here in Baguio City.
01:35That's why earlier, the Baguio LGU announced that the classes will be suspended
01:39at all times tomorrow, November 18.
01:42The government offices will also be closed for half a day,
01:44aside from those who are involved in the emergency response.
01:48That's the latest from Baguio City. Back to you, Pia.
01:52Take care and thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
