00:00Some families in Isabela now have a problem on how they will start again.

00:05Their livelihood is more affected and their house is destroyed.

00:10Isaiah Mirafuentes of PTV in Balitang Pambansa.

00:15It's past 1 o'clock yesterday when it started to rain and wind here in Santiago City, Isabela.

00:21There are no more people on the streets of the town of Santiago

00:24because of the fear that they might get caught if they go out of the house.

00:29It's past 3 o'clock in the afternoon and the wind and rain are getting stronger.

00:33The whole area has almost zero visibility.

00:36If most of the people are inside the house,

00:39there are some families who are inside the evacuation center

00:42because their house was lost during the previous typhoons.

00:46Just like Maneline, she earns P250 per day for her rent.

00:52The problem is, because of the typhoon, she can't work.

00:56Her entire house was destroyed because of the strong wind

01:00and the heavy rain that fell after the river overflowed

01:04near the house where she lives when the typhoon Mika hit.

01:09While I was carrying my things,

01:12the fire was spreading one by one.

01:15That's why I was so scared.

01:17I don't know, I just cried inside my house

01:20because I might get hit by the fire.

01:23This is what happened in a barangay here in Santiago City, Isabela.

01:27Because of the strong flow of the river during the typhoon Mika,

01:30the river flooded 15 houses.

01:34That's why the problem is,

01:35the residents here are even more worried about the arrival of Super Typhoon Pepito.

01:40The typhoon was so strong that it flooded other houses and trees.

01:44The water even overflowed.

01:46Now, there's another typhoon coming,

01:48that's why the remaining things are getting destroyed.

01:52That's why while the typhoon Pepito was coming,

01:55they stayed in the evacuation centers of the barangay and the local government.

02:01The typhoon was so strong that while we were in Silong in the municipality,

02:05some residents were forced to go to the city hall.

02:08They packed their children and their belongings

02:11because the place where they live was almost destroyed by the typhoon Pepito.

02:15While the local government of Santiago,

02:17or PNP, AFP, and BFP,

02:20carried out a forced evacuation to their many barangays.

02:2421 of their barangays are flooded every time there's a typhoon.

02:30The most pitiful thing is for our farmers,

02:34because of the continuous rain and wind.

02:37Of course, you know that when there's wind, the crops are still growing.

02:43Meanwhile, the LGU will provide help to those who lost their houses.

02:46But they admitted that it's not enough,

02:49that's why they are asking for help from the national government.

02:52The DSWD has sent some relief goods to their barangays.

02:56The LGU of Santiago is also trying to meet their target of not starving their residents.

03:03That's why they are also preparing food for the evacuees.

03:07From PTV, I'm Sayang Mira Fuentes, Balitang Pambansa.
