00:11Marisol Abdurrahman explains the situation.
00:20The heavy flooding in Aborlan, Zapalawan is still rampant.
00:24In Kapalang Putik, it was difficult to tow a vehicle that was used as a backhoe.
00:30This is the van that was hit by the flood last Sunday night.
00:33There were 12 passengers on board.
00:37According to some residents, it was hit by the flood, but the force of the storm was unbearable.
00:42Now, seven passengers are injured, including a child.
00:46This is the child that was hit by the flood.
00:48This is the child that was hit by the flood.
00:52Five people were injured.
00:53The last two passengers were recovered inside the van that was found yesterday.
01:00Aside from Aborlan, other towns in the province of Zapalawan were also flooded
01:05due to the rain that fell the other day.
01:08The Philippine Coast Guard carried out rescue operations every day.
01:12The Fourth Princess City of Aborlan is now under the State of Calamity
01:16due to the vastness of the flood and the number of affected residents.
01:19According to the PDRRMO, the weather in Zapalawan is now better
01:23compared to the past few days.
01:25Almost 2,500 families were brought back to their homes.
01:31According to the PDRRMO, 4 out of 23 municipalities were affected.
01:37There are areas that are almost flooded.
01:41This is the worst rain that was experienced there in the past 50 years.
01:46It even exceeded the record of rain in 1975.
01:53According to the PDRRMO, the cold wind from the northeast
01:58and the hot wind from the east or easterlies caused the rain in Zapalawan since February 6.
02:04Usually, only the eastern part of our country is affected,
02:09like Bicol Region.
02:10But since it was flooding in the past few days,
02:13it reached the Palawan area.
02:16But now, this low-pressure area is included,
02:19which was only completed yesterday outside the park.
02:21The access of the shoreline is already in Northern Luzon.
02:24So what we see now and tomorrow, if possible,
02:29the trough of the LPA will be affected.
02:32The shoreline is also the reason for the rain in other parts of Luzon.
02:37In Aurora, the students went home and spent their classes in a school
02:41in the village of Dilasag because of the heavy rainfall earlier.
02:47The river also overflowed in some parts of Kasiguran.
