00:00In the evacuation centers in Agoncillo and Batangas,
00:08some residents were affected by the landslide
00:11because of the typhoon Kristindumpong last year.
00:14The effects of the volcano Taalak made it even more difficult
00:17if this is what's causing the landslide.
00:19That's why aside from the food packs,
00:21the GMA Kapusil Foundation distributed N95 face masks
00:26to the evacuees and to our responders.
00:33It's been five months since the last time the typhoon Kristindumpong hit.
00:38Until now, the residents of Agoncillo and Batangas
00:42are still struggling in the evacuation center
00:46as they have no place to go back to.
00:48Just like Durley,
00:50she was delirious when the typhoon Kristindumpong hit.
00:56What we really need to do is to pass through the landslides
01:03and the lands that were hit by the typhoon.
01:08When we hear that there's going to be a typhoon,
01:11we're always afraid.
01:13Eden told us how difficult it is
01:15when there's no one to help her.
01:18Sometimes our water runs out.
01:22When the volcano hit,
01:24we were only there for three or two months
01:26before we were able to go home.
01:28Now, we've been here for almost five months.
01:31The volcano also added to the fear
01:34of a weak eruption last month.
01:38As protection and help to the 400 evacuees there,
01:43the GMA Kapusil Foundation distributed N95 masks,
01:48food packs, and rice paddies.
01:50We use it to prevent the volcano from hitting our skin
01:55and our eyes.
01:59We also distributed N95 face masks and hygiene kits
02:04to the Bureau of Fire Protection
02:06and the Philippine National Police
02:08in eight towns in Batangas.
02:10It's a huge help to distribute emergency kits,
02:15especially N95 face masks.
02:18As a responder,
02:20it protects our health.
02:23For those who want to help,
02:25you can deposit in our bank accounts
02:27or send it to Cebuana Lulier.
02:30You can also do it online via GCash,
02:32Shopee, Lazada, Globe Rewards,
02:34and Metrobank Credit Card.
