QC on high alert for Pepito, starts preemptive evacuations
Residents of low-lying and flood-prone villages in Quezon City have been preemptively evacuated as Super Typhoon Pepito (international name: Man-yi) approaches.
As of 2 p.m. Sunday, a total of 266 families, or 772 individuals, were staying in the city's six evacuation centers.
The Quezon City government ordered preemptive evacuations in Barangays Apolonio Samson, Bagong Silangan, Tatalon, and Damayang Lagi.
Preemptive evacuations began on Saturday evening, with barangay officials conducting door-to-door announcements.
One evacuee, Mila Gappe, expressed the persistent fear of flooding, noting that her sister, Lucy Hernandez, has had her recovery from mobility issues disrupted by successive storms.
Hernandez shared that her recovery has been repeatedly delayed due to her inability to attend scheduled physical therapy sessions because of the storms.
