Silago, Southern Leyte Mayor Lemuel Honor appeals for assistance as 'Tino' cuts off town, damages evacuation centers

Manila Bulletin

Silago, Southern Leyte Mayor Lemuel Honor pleads for assistance as the municipality remains inaccessible to four-wheeled vehicles in the aftermath of Typhoon Tino.  All 32 designated evacuation centers in the municipality were damaged by the storm, leaving only 1,500 food packs on standby.  According to Chrisa Gerong, Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officer, they are in urgent need of additional supplies as it remains uncertain how long their current stock will last for evacuees. Several landslides have been reported, along with a flash flood in Poblacion District 1 caused by a landslide in Mount Naculot.

01:13If you have an economic crisis with the people and the Eu bridging,

01:17and I see the damage that I need to be doing.

01:24So we have to remember that we have to see the problem with the water.

01:31Those are the main issues.

01:35If you have any questions that you have to leave during the day,

01:39you still have to tell me how to do the other things.

01:43I have an appeal to people, people, people, private government, national or local government.

01:53I have an appeal to people who will declare a state of calamity.

02:00At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, I am a staff member of the mayor.

02:12I am a staff member of the mayor.

02:19I am an excuse.

03:02So, she was able to get the blood.

03:05But once she was in the water, she was in the water.

03:08She was in the behavior of herself.

03:11But, she was in the first time, after her assessment,

03:15she was a disaster officer.

03:17So, she was a disaster officer.

03:19She was a disaster officer with a barangay level.

03:21It was sad to say she was a flash flood,

03:23while she was landslide on Mount Nakulot.

03:25Mount Nakulot.

03:27She was a flash flood,

03:29and she was the same for her family.

03:32We were to go see her family,

03:34there was many survivors from the streets.

03:38And so, we were able to go there,

03:40at least one of the most vulnerable buildings.

03:42We were even on a island of Mount Nakulot.

03:44We were so close to my area of the city.

03:46And that's why we were not able to access it.

03:48We were able to access it,

03:50to make our household damages within a temporary shelter.

03:54So, we were able to access it for us.

03:57It's too big, it's too big, it's too big.

04:00So, the mayor also, I've called my fellow LCEs to be able to extend my help.

04:06As of now, I'm going to cover the whole 15 barangay for the visit,

04:11and I'm going to go back to the parking lot and posting.

04:15And then, the stock file as of now is NAMI-1000 from the DSWD with the 500 from our LGU.

04:22So, I don't know if it can suffice, but I'm hoping that there are possible agencies,

04:28any government or private, that will extend to a few barangay for the LCEs.

04:33So, even the manpower, health workers, or even the army that will be able to pay back.

04:41Ma'am, how long will your supplies last?

04:45For my assessment, ma'am, depending.

04:48So, yesterday, after the forced evacuation,

04:53there are 1,182 families in centers.

04:57Wala pa na mo na account ang mga dito sa mga neighborhood,

05:00ng mga parenti nila.

05:02So, ang kanang 1,500 na itong stock file,

05:04kuwa nga na dyan na, ma'am, as to food.

05:06So, nanginahang lahat ang mga hygiene kit.

05:08So, kanang mga necessities nila, like, most especially,

05:12may karoon kayo nagsigipag-ula ng atong temporary shelter.

05:14Okay, wala pa yung taon may ikaprovide food nga,
