00:21Dear viewers, the province of Ilocos Norte is still at signal number 2
00:25Although the province did not directly feel the impact of Hurricane Christine,
00:30local officials and residents living in low-lying areas or barangays were quick to evacuate.
00:39According to the latest update from the provincial office of Ilocos Norte,
00:43more than 534 families or 1,607 individuals were affected or evacuated due to Hurricane Christine.
00:53Flooding and small landslides were also reported in some parts of Pagot-Put.
00:57However, it quickly subsided and the road was cleared.
01:0145 houses were also affected or partially damaged.
01:05However, no one was severely damaged due to the storm.
01:08Accordingly, in Ilocos Norte, more than P350,000 worth of rice and corn were destroyed due to Hurricane Christine.
01:16That's a smaller percentage compared to the previous storm.
01:20This is because the farmers were warned early that they should harvest rice before the storm hits.
01:25The weather here in Ilocos Norte is still gloomy even though it has improved compared to the past few days.
01:34Local officials are still monitoring the movement of Hurricane Christine
