00:00The amount of salt left by the 6 typhoons that hit the province of Cagayan reached 3.2 billion pesos.
00:08The Department of Agriculture is already starting the rehabilitation of the damaged houses.
00:13This is Dina Villacampa of Radyo Pilipinas with the national news.
00:19After the typhoons that passed through the province of Cagayan,
00:23houses were destroyed, flooded, or drowned in the floodwaters of the villages,
00:28or because there is no life of the animals that feed the farmers.
00:32The rice fields that were supposed to be rice fields were flooded with water.
00:36The rice fields are blackened and are of no importance to the market.
00:40It's good that, like Mr. Ronald Nambugue,
00:43his villages are insured with the help of the Free Insurance of PCIC.
00:49We were able to get the rice fields.
00:52Are the rice fields insured?
00:54Yes, ma'am. We were able to get the rice fields.
00:57The fishermen in Santa Ana reported that
01:00they were able to catch Leonardo and Mylene,
01:03who came from Palauot, in just a few pieces.
01:07Now, they have been in the sea for almost 5 hours.
01:09What's more painful for the Costales couple is that
01:12their boat was wrecked after a fallen tree fell.
01:19It's symbolic.
01:21You were able to lift it, but...
01:23It just fell, ma'am. It didn't survive.
01:29Mr. Ronald and Leonardo are just a few of the farmers,
01:33fishermen, and livestock raisers in the province of Cagayan
01:36in the thousands of affected by the upcoming floods in the province.
01:40According to the Department of Agriculture,
01:43the province of Cagayan will receive P3.2 billion
01:46from the sector of agriculture, fisheries, and livestock,
01:50as well as the infrastructure for agriculture in Lambag, Cagayan,
01:53for the next six floods.
