00:00The Department of Interior and local government confirmed that there are two people who were affected by the Petito Flood.
00:07According to DILG Secretary John Vicremulia,
00:10no one was killed in the areas affected by the Petito Flood,
00:15except for two people who were affected in Nueva Ecija.
00:18According to Kalihim, residents were forced to stay in their houses near the river.
00:25That's why when the water level rose, they were also affected by the flood.
00:30On the other hand, Vicremulia identified the so-called pre-emptive evacuation
00:35in the areas affected by the flood.
00:37The LGU is also continuously coordinating with government agencies
00:41such as DSWD, OCD, DPWH, PNP, BFP, and others
00:48to ensure continuous assistance to those affected by the flood.
00:53DILG is also calling on the public to take their advice seriously
00:57and evacuate whenever it is considered a new normal
01:01to avoid the loss of life whenever there is a time of calamity.
01:07This is a big success story, the pre-emptive evacuation.
01:12The lesson here is that if they really don't want to leave,
01:18they should stay in their houses instead of dying.
01:22According to their wishes, they should really leave.
01:24I don't see any other way.
01:27Please talk to the evacuees.
01:30The evacuees should be evacuated.
01:31Those who died have nothing to do with the local government.
