SCRIPT

Narrator: 
Super Typhoon Rai (also known as Bagyong Odette) made its first landfall on December
16 at 1:30 p.m. on Siargao Islands in Southeastern Philippines. It is the strongest typhoon
to hit the Philippines in 2021. Thousands of families were affected by this typhoon
including Rebbeca.

She described her experience as traumatizing.  Around 9:00 in the evening as she said,
the howling wind is blowing their roof off and since she lives in a Nipa Hut over the
water, she felt their house shaking as her husband tried to tie up their home. The seawater
eventually entered their house around 10:00 pm. Luckily their neighbor let them enter his
home for safety as she watches their home being swept by the sea. They didn’t manage to
save any of their belongings. They had been living in Batugan, Barangay Binohon for 15
years and this is the first time that they had experienced something as traumatizing as
this. Rebecca said even though this is a devastating event that happened in their lives, she
is still happy that she and her family survived. Life is something irreplaceable as she said.
Her story was truly sad, what more if we hear the stories of every person affected by this
Typhoon. Let us know what really happened when Typhoon Odette landed in the
Philippines.

their power. The estimated Agricultural damage that the typhoon caused sums up around
