00:00Due to the landslide, Kennon Road in Benguet is temporarily limited to residents.
00:07One of the roads going to Baguio.
00:09The situation there and in some places in the City of Pines,
00:14in the live coverage of Darlene Khan.
00:16Darlene?
00:20Mel, last night, the Super Typhoon Pepito was the most felt here in Baguio City.
00:25The ground shook and some residents were evacuated.
00:31There is no doubt that the strong gusts of wind
00:36experienced in Baguio City in the aftermath of the Super Typhoon Pepito.
00:44Almost zero visibility.
00:46The City Camp Lagoon tightly guarded the roads leading to the area.
00:51Residents living near the lagoon were evacuated.
00:54Mother Virginia can't remember when was the last time she was evacuated because of the typhoon.
00:58I'm nervous, ma'am.
01:00What did you pray for last night?
01:02Of course, the typhoon has stopped.
01:05We can go home.
01:07Of course, we didn't expect that the road would shake.
01:12That's why we evacuated the children and our neighbors earlier.
01:16It was also one of the places that were guarded for the dangerous landslides.
01:20Earlier this morning, there were landslides on Cannon Road in Camp 5 in Tuba, Benguet.
01:27The ground and rocks shook on the road.
01:30As you can see, there is rock netting on this part of the mountain next to Cannon Road.
01:35But because of the continuous and strong rainfall,
01:38the debris that fell on the road came from the knocks.
01:43That's why the clearing operations of the DPS continue.
01:47Yesterday, Cannon Road was closed to motorists as part of the precautions for the typhoon.
01:52That's why there were no injuries or cars that were hit by landslides.
01:55There is an ongoing work.
01:57One of the works is a tunnel to totally prevent the rockfall.
02:04There is a tunnel.
02:05Actually, there is already one.
02:06And another is ongoing, the lower portion.
02:09The residents of Baguio are thankful that the typhoon did not cause heavy damage.
02:14The residents of Baguio are thankful that the typhoon did not cause heavy damage to their area.
02:19We are thankful.
02:20We should take care of the Sierra Madre.
02:22It can disperse.
02:24We expected how strong this typhoon would be.
02:27It will disperse.
02:29Along with our Caraballo Mountains and the Cordillera Mountains,
02:33that's where the effect happened, which we saw with this typhoon.
02:37It's a super typhoon.
02:38A super typhoon.
02:39The public parks and tourist spots in Baguio were closed yesterday because of the bad weather.
02:43But now, they are open again.
02:45I'm happy.
02:46Because I have my kids with me.
02:48We were inside the house yesterday.
02:50But it's okay now.
02:52We are outside.
02:58Mel, because we have seen a lot of tourists here,
03:02because the situation here is mostly back to normal,
03:05for those who are just going there,
03:07you should first go to Marcos Highway and Naguilian Road.
03:10That's the latest from Baguio City.
03:11Back to you, Mel.
03:12Thank you very much, Darlene Kai.
