00:00Since today, a week has passed since the opening of Myanmar, which was declared as a strong country last Friday.
00:08More than 2,000 people have already been evacuated.
00:11The rescue workers are still working for the survivors,
00:14as well as the four Filipino teachers who were also found by our countrymen.
00:19My reporter Jonathan Andar.
00:25Okay, water coming.
00:28Okay, drink.
00:29The search and rescue operations in the houses and structures in Myanmar
00:34that were hit by magnitude 7.7 earthquakes last Friday continue.
00:38Among the survivors were children and pregnant women.
00:42In Mandalay and Sagaing, where the epicenter of the earthquake is near,
00:46residents who lost their homes are in need of help.
00:50Patients in many hospitals have also been evacuated.
00:53Some medical experts and search and rescue teams from Thailand and Israel
00:57have also been evacuated.
01:00The four Filipino teachers who are being searched in Myanmar
01:04live in Gumuhong Tower D of the 12-story Sky Villa condominium building in Mandalay.
01:10I thought that he was already suffering under that building.
01:15If he survived under there, he would still be able to survive.
01:18I don't lose hope. I know that he will still be found.
01:24We are already crying, almost all the members of the family.
01:28Hopefully, they have escaped and they were not around during the earthquake.
01:35Yesterday, Edsel and Alexis' belongings were found in the gutter.
01:39Even their jackets were found in the gutter.
01:42Here, they were searched by their fellow Filipinos there.
01:46Teacher Edsel.
01:48Lex.
01:50Alexis.
01:52The rescue here is really slow.
01:56I hope that the Filipinos will be more careful.
01:59The Philippine Embassy has already sent a team to the condo of the missing Filipinos.
02:03We are all working hard to find out what happened to the four Filipinos unaccounted for.
02:11The items and the Filipino rescuers who are helping in Myanmar are also ready.
02:15We will send 114 personnel tomorrow.
02:19This is the tentative date.
02:20This will come from agencies such as DOH,
02:24the Urban Search and Rescue Team,
02:28the Bureau of Fire Protection,
02:31and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
02:34The Embassy in Myanmar said that
02:36they want to help the Filipinos who are unaccounted for,
02:40but the situation there is not easy.
02:43It is not easy to travel here because the roads are damaged and the communication is difficult.
02:47They travel by land for 15 hours and the roads are not good.
