01:20.1
even as the volume of rainfall dumped by the typhoon-enhanced Southwest Monsoon was lower than 2009's typhoon.
01:27.5
The Philippine leader made a statement as he visited the flooded areas in Camanava to check on the situation of affected residents.
01:36.0
Marquez, along with other cabinet officials, boarded a military truck to visit evacuation centers in Malanday National High School in Valenzuela and Barangay Tanza in Navotas.
01:47.2
Marquez says this is a clear manifestation of the effects of climate change.
01:51.6
Just a simple assessment.
01:53.2
The reason I did this was to really inspect because I wanted to see what...
01:57.5
what the situation was.
02:00.7
And I was right. It's really different reading a piece of paper than actually seeing it and seeing what people have to go through.
02:09.3
So we have to re-look, we have to re-examine some of the designs of our flood control.
02:15.3
For example, this was not that the amount of water was not as bad as Undoy.
02:22.8
But the effect was greater than Undoy.
02:25.0
Mas malaki ang bahak.
02:26.7
Mas maraming na bahak.
02:27.5
Mas marami tayong flood control ngayon kaysa noon.
02:33.6
Pero, climate change. This is what the effects of climate change are.
02:38.5
The president also blaming the amount of garbage for the massive flooding, which he says affected the capacity of the pumping stations.
02:46.1
Sana matuto naman ang tao.
02:48.0
Kaya kung baka yung nagtatapon ng basura, dahil yung basura yun ang nagbarat doon sa mga pump natin.
02:54.6
Kaya hindi kasing effective na pwede.
03:01.3
In Venezuela, I think they're 32.
03:03.8
So marami na yung pumping station.
03:05.6
Pero, talaga, you have to put it somewhere.
03:09.2
The president also visited the navigational gate in Barangay Tanza in Navotas,
03:13.2
which is seen to have aggravated floods in several barangays of Navotas and Malabon,
03:18.4
after it was damaged by a barge that hit it last month.
03:22.2
The president has ordered the DPWH to undertake an engineering assessment of the structure.
03:27.5
Now, what we have seen is that one of the most important parts that nagka-problema was that navigation gate that we went to na nasira because pinanggan ng isang marko,
03:45.5
that is why Malamor is still 80% under water. Malamor the same, Valenzuela also. So we have to really look into that.
03:59.9
Prior to his visit, the President led a meeting in Malacanang where he was briefed by Cabinet officials of the effects of the typhoon and southwest monsoon.
04:08.4
We can see for ourselves that umaalis na yung typhoon system.
04:15.5
So where are we now? What is the situation on the ground now? Where is there still flooding? Where are there still isolated communities?
04:27.1
That is what we need to know because para gumalaw yung lahat ng ating mga agency, we need to know where to go.
04:33.6
That's really what I need to hear from you. Where do we go now? Which are the places that need the most help immediately?
04:41.0
The Metro Manila Development Authority says all of their 71 pumping stations,
04:45.5
were operational at the height of Carina.
04:48.1
Speaking to ANC's top story, MMDA Chairman Armando Arte said,
04:52.9
flood-affected local government units reported that floods immediately receded after several hours.
04:59.4
Arte, however, admits they need to put up more pumping stations in critical areas.
05:04.2
Aside from the National Capital Region, the provinces of Oriental Mindoro, Batangas, Cavite, Bataan, and Bulacan
05:11.4
have also declared a state of calamity according to the DILG.
05:15.8
Data from the NDRRMC shows, 21 individuals have died from the effects of Typhoon Carina and the southwest monsoon,
05:23.3
of which 7 are from NCR, 3 are from Region 3, and 11 from Calabarzon.
05:30.4
15 were reported injured and 5 remain missing.
05:34.4
Meanwhile, almost 48,000 families or over 200,000 individuals are currently in evacuation centers.
05:42.1
The Department of Social Welfare and Development says they have so far distributed,
05:45.4
300,000 food packs to affected areas.
05:48.7
The agency is also calling on volunteers to help repack food supplies.
05:53.5

Philippine lawmakers calling for better flood control measures in Metro Manila
06:02.6
in the wake of the devastation caused by recent storms.
06:06.6
Rafael Busano with the story.
06:11.0
Both houses of Congress are keen on investigating the country's flood control measures.
06:15.4
Following the devastation caused by Super Typhoon Carina.
06:20.1
One Senator laments, flooding has worsened in his hometown of Bulacan Province
06:24.5
as well as other parts of the country despite substantial government funding.
06:35.3
Senate President Francis Escudero points out,
06:39.2
P255 billion was allocated for flood control under the government's 2024 national budget,
06:45.4
which surpassed the budgets of entire departments such as the Department of National Defense
06:50.6
and the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
06:53.8
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority for its part says,
06:57.6
projects such as flood pumping stations are already in place to mitigate flooding.
07:02.7
But the rain dumped the past days was just excessive.
07:06.3
To avoid severe flooding, the MMDA says a comprehensive drainage master plan is now in the works.
07:12.3
The purpose of this is for all of us,
07:15.4
for all of the drainage systems here in Metro Manila to be integrated.
07:20.7
It means that the flood will continue to come out of Manila Bay or the major river system.
07:27.8
At least two Senators meanwhile blamed the Manila Bay reclamation
07:31.3
for the massive flooding at the Senate premises in Pasay City.
07:36.1
But geologist Mahagnag May explains,
07:38.9
the area is already prone to flooding even without the reclamation projects.
07:43.1
Even without the reclamation,
07:45.4
because of the lay of the ground there,
07:48.1
when we simulated it,
07:49.8
flooding is possible in that area.
07:53.0
For Dr. Jerry Bagdasa of the UP Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology,
07:59.0
the public must also understand that Metro Manila lies on a flood plain.
08:04.0
The rain, when it falls on the land,
08:06.5
it will find a way to return to the sea.
08:09.4
So those who fell in Rizal,
08:10.8
its way to return to the sea is through Pasig River,
08:14.7
through Metro Manila.
08:15.4
It will return to Manila Bay.
08:17.2
A lot of people are saying that in the reclamation,
08:20.8
so it's hard to quantify for now,
08:23.3
but generally speaking,
08:25.9
if you want to bring the water out to Manila Bay,
08:28.8
if you put the land in Manila Bay,
08:31.5
the flooding will be less.
08:32.9
Quezon City, one of the most heavily affected areas in the NCR,
08:37.0
admits it is high time to work on improving different types of infrastructure
08:40.9
that would help prevent floods.
08:42.8
The problem now is that our pipes,
08:45.4
they are narrow and small and they cannot absorb the capacity of the volume of rainwater that is coming.
08:52.9
So we really have to keep changing our drainage,
08:55.6
enlarge the pipes so that they can absorb the capacity of the rain.
09:01.4
With future typhoons predicted to be stronger and more devastating,
09:05.8
experts stress the importance of everyone's cooperation
09:08.8
in mitigating climate disasters
09:11.1
and ensuring that casualties are kept to a minimum.
09:15.4
Responsibility ng pahamahalaan to keep them safe.
09:18.9
Pero in the equation, meron silang share.
09:21.9
Yung pagre-recycle natin ng basura,
09:24.1
trust management natin,
09:25.7
mapagtatanim ng puno,
09:27.4
yung mga ganyan, yung back to basics.
09:29.4
Rafael Bosano, ABS-CBN News.
09:34.4
The opening of classes in areas hit by Typhoon Karina
09:38.1
and the southwest monsoon postponed to make way for cleanup and repairs.
09:43.0
Education Secretary Sonny Angara says,
09:45.4
he will soon issue a list of schools that will move the opening of classes.
09:50.6
But he notes classes in areas with minimal to no damage
09:54.2
will push through on Monday, July 29.
09:57.6
Over 300 schools are being used as evacuation centers
10:00.9
in the aftermath of the deadly storm.
10:03.9
Ninety more were damaged.
10:08.0
Several classes remain suspended as communities reel from the effects of Typhoon Karina.
10:13.5
Here's a look at class suspension,
10:45.4
Thank you for watching!
11:15.4
The fuel on board the Aranova is nearly double the amount compared to the 800,000 liters of oil from the tanker which capsized in Mindoro last year.
11:27.5
Can you please add an instruction to the DNR to make already an assessment on the environmental impact of this?
11:36.7
Basically what we need to assess is where is the capsized vessel?
11:42.9
The fuel that's being released?
11:44.8
What are the tides? What are the winds? Where is it headed?
11:49.0
Maybe we can also make some determinations on that.
11:53.6
Kung naalala niyo, yung incident doon sa Mindoro, masyadong malalim at nagsakom sa pressure yung mga tanki niya at talagang lumabas yung oil.
12:06.0
Ito hindi naman masyadong malalim. Pinachicheck ko nga kasi nung una, half submerged lang siya.
12:12.2
Pakasakaling mababaw lang at hope for.
12:14.8
Hoping na hindi maapektuhan yung water integrity ng mga tanks niya.
12:22.0
The country's environment chief meanwhile vows the agency's support to contain the oil spill.
12:30.2
Ang DNR ay nandito upang tumulong sa mga efforts na ginagawa ng Philippine Coast Guard at ang local government.
12:37.8
So our assets are at the disposal.
12:41.5
Particularly yung meron po kami.
12:44.8
Yung barko na pwedeng kumanap sa hanman ang barko natin ngayon.
12:51.3
So malocate man siya in order to support the work.
12:54.1
So we can anticipate kung meron mang environment at isang pangitong paglubog.
13:03.3
Let's get an update on the weather now from Pagasa Forecaster Chanel Dominguez.
13:07.8
Good morning, Chanel.
13:08.9
Good morning, Bettina. Good morning to all.
13:11.0
So at 3 a.m. today, we are monitoring a low-pressure area.
13:14.8
And what's estimated based on all available data at 1,035 km east of southeastern Mindanao.
13:22.2
And then the southwest monsoon is continued to affecting Luzon and Visayas.
13:26.9
Due to this, expect a monsoon rains over Ilocos region, Batanes, and Babuyan Islands.
13:32.0
Expect a occasional rains over Bataan, Zambales, Pampanga, and Benguet.
13:36.5
And expect a cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorm over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.
13:44.8
In the now, expect a generally fair weather with a high chances of localized thunderstorm during the afternoon and the evening.
13:51.5
That's the latest here in Pagasa Weather Forecasting Center.
13:54.2
Chanel Dominguez and good morning.
13:56.1
Chanel, what are the chances of the low-pressure area becoming a storm?
14:00.1
So we are still not ruling out if it will turn into a tropical cyclone.
14:05.2
But within the next 24 to 48 hours, the chances of it becoming a tropical cyclone is still low.
14:12.2
Okay, great. Thank you very much for that update, Chanel.
14:14.8
Thank you very much.
14:44.8
Thank you very much.
15:14.8
Thank you very much.
15:44.8
Thank you very much.
16:14.8

17:14.8
Welcome back to the Rundown.
17:19.6
The headlines across the web.
17:21.4
In Juarez Banner Story Online, a Chinese Coast Guard ship spotted cruising outside Manila Bay on Thursday.
17:29.5
Philippine Star Stop Story Vice President Sara Duterte's office asserts her family trip to Germany received approval from President Marcos.
17:40.1
In Manila Bulletin's headline, the Chinese Embassy in Manila says,
17:44.3
It supports President Marcos' decision to ban Pogos in the country.
17:50.3
And topping GMA News website, the United Nations warns the death toll from the landslides in Ethiopia could jump to 500 from the latest count of 257.
18:04.1
Now, news overseas.
18:05.8
Families of hostages being held in Gaza meet with U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
18:14.3
At the White House, they say they receive a commitment from both leaders that they will urgently work towards a ceasefire deal.
18:25.0
But what we did find by the end of the meeting, which was productive and honest,
18:31.3
that we feel probably more optimistic than we have since the first round of releases in late November, early December,
18:42.1
where a little over 100 of Israel.
18:44.3
Hostages were released.
18:47.0
We got absolute commitment from the Biden administration and from Prime Minister Netanyahu
18:52.7
that they understand the urgency of this moment now to waste no time and to complete this deal as it currently stands with as little change as humanly possible within it.
19:09.0
This development follows reports Israel is demanding changes to a ceasefire plan.
19:14.3
Complicating talks, sources say Israel now wants displaced Palestinians to be screened as they return to the enclave's north once a ceasefire begins.
19:26.0
Another sticking point, Israel's demand to retain control of Gaza's border with Egypt.
19:33.0
Over in California, Governor Gavin Newsom orders the removal of homeless encampments across the state.
19:39.8
This follows a Supreme Court decision which upheld anti-camping.
19:44.3
Newsom told state agencies to prioritize removing camps that pose health and safety risks and provide at least 48 hours notice to the people affected.
20:00.4
I don't think there's anything more urgent and more frustrating than addressing the issue of encampments in the state of California.
20:06.9
In the course of the last number of years, the state has stepped up, where in the past we provided no support, no resources to cities and counties.
20:14.3
To clean up encampments like this.
20:15.9
Today, we've invested now over $1 billion in encampment resolution grants.
20:20.8
Not only to clean up sites like this, but to address the underlying issue in the first place.
20:28.1
California had 180,000 homeless people in 2023, more than any other state.
20:37.2
Turning now to the campaign trail, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris says she's ready to face Republican presidency.
20:44.3
She's ready to face presidential candidate Donald Trump in a debate.
20:47.2
This as she accused Trump of trying to back out from a previously agreed September 10 debate hosted by ABC News.
20:55.9
Trump has said he would prefer to shift the event to Fox News.
21:01.9
So many of you have been asking me about the debate and I'll tell you I'm ready to debate Donald Trump.
21:07.7
I have agreed to the previously agreed upon September 10th debate.
21:13.1
He agreed to that.
21:14.3
Obviously, now it appears he's backpedaling, but I'm ready.
21:17.4
And I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage.
21:25.4
And so I'm ready. Let's go.
21:29.0
The Democratic Party's Rules Committee earlier agreed on a plan to formally nominate Harris as a presidential candidate as soon as August 1st,
