00:00While the typhoon Christine is raging, there are many places in Calabarzon,
00:04like Cavite, where the flood is a problem and the power supply is cut off.
00:08Live from Kawit, Cavite, we have the first news from Jomar Apresto.
00:12Jomar, how is the situation there now?
00:16Maris, I'm here in the part of Binacayan in Kawit, Cavite.
00:19This is where vehicles from Bacoor, Imus, and Las Piñas City will pass.
00:24There are many motorcycle riders here who just pushed their motorcycles
00:28because the water level is still high.
00:32As for those who pushed their motorcycles, Billy, who came from work in Sapote,
00:36the area is already flooded, so he just pushed his motorcycle up to here in Kawit.
00:40Ralf, who came from Paranaque, will just get home now.
00:43He said that he drove for more than an hour and a half up to Bewang, where the water level is high.
00:47But aside from the part of Binacayan,
00:49the part of Tirona Highway Corner, Pican, the street is also flooded.
00:53That is where the vehicles going to Noveleta and Rosario will pass.
00:57Because of that, many vehicles were forced to maneuver.
01:00Even though our team was supposed to go to Noveleta,
01:03the volunteers were not allowed to cross here.
01:06According to some residents who talked to GMI Integrated News,
01:09last night at 9 o'clock, the water level started to rise in some parts of Kawit,
01:13so some of them were evacuated.
01:15Some also rushed to evacuate and will continue with their friends.
01:19Many vehicles were forced to stop in the high part of Tirona Highway
01:24so that the flood would not reach.
01:26But aside from the flood, there is also no supply of electricity in this part of Kawit since last night.
01:30It is still not clear when the supply of electricity will return.
01:35Meanwhile, Maris, we are still trying to get the local government of Kawit to speak
01:42so that we can know how many residents were evacuated because of the taste of the flood.
01:49That is the latest from Kawit, Cavite.
01:52I am Jomer Apresto for GMI Integrated News.
