00:00Let's go back to Gen. Abenilia for the last situation regarding the flood and landslides in Quezon Province.
00:06He is the chief of the Quezon PDRRMO.
00:09Sir Abenilia, are you there?
00:12Yes, ma'am. Good evening to everyone at home. Good evening.
00:18Sir, you mentioned earlier the number of people who were evacuated.
00:22In how many barangays is this? And where will they be brought?
00:27The number of people who were evacuated was low, but the number of people who were evacuated was high.
00:37We were able to bring 65 people from the town of Mauban, Quezon.
00:43They were able to return to their homes earlier this afternoon.
00:50Sir, were there any people who were left behind or died?
00:55Sir, we don't have any incidents related to the floods.
01:04Are there any possibilities for the residents of the evacuation center to stay in Pagsalubong this new year?
01:14As of the reporting time, no one is monitoring the situation.
01:19There was only an increase in water levels, but as I mentioned earlier, they were able to return to their homes.
01:27What assistance or assistance was prepared by the LGU for the affected people?
01:36Of course, the local government unit, as well as the local government,
01:41led by Governor Dr. Helen Tan,
01:44immediately provided food packs.
01:48We also have what we call hot meals on the wheels.
01:53We have a kitchen run by Dr. Helen that provides food to the evacuees.
02:01Sir, if this situation doesn't get worse, will we have a contingency plan?
02:08Yes, of course.
02:09Flooding and landslides are part of the major hazards that the government is preparing.
02:16Of course, the local government units are involved.
02:19We have different simulations that are being done before this time.
02:23This is what the local government units are preparing.
02:28Lastly, sir, do you have any reminders for the residents of their preparedness in this situation?
02:36Governor Helen Tan is reminding our countrymen that the floods will continue in our province.
02:43That is why we are always being careful to be prepared,
02:46to listen to the announcements,
02:48especially to the advice of the local government and the advice of Governor Helen Tan.
02:53The water level can rise at any time,
02:55especially for those living in the mountains and hazard-prone areas such as landslides.
03:02We should always be prepared.
03:04It can soften at any time and there can be landslides.
03:08If we know that our areas are included in the mentioned areas,
03:12we should be alert and make sure that we are always praying.
03:19Thank you very much Mr. Melchor Abenilla, chief of Quezon TDRRMO.
