Interview with Dr. Reinan Reil P. Paulino, Medical officer 3, Dinagat District Hospital
Municipality of Dinagat, Dinagat Island Province

00:02:44:11 - 00:02:52:14
After the hurricane, what we usually see are vomiting, LBM

00:02:52:14 - 00:02:58:14
We’re still seeing cases like these.

00:02:58:14 - 00:03:03:21
Some patient are super dehydrated, ideally those patients should be referred.

00:03:03:21 - 00:03:11:07
But if we can stabilize them here, with IV fluids, they can stay here first.

00:03:11:07 - 00:03:17:02
Except for patients who really need surgery, like trauma-related cases.

00:03:17:02 - 00:03:20:22
Like the ones with head injuries, or broken bones

00:03:20:22 - 00:03:26:19
So we really need to refer them because we don't have facilities to do surgery here

00:03:26:19 - 00:03:41:01
Doctors Without Borders, they're doing their best to help us with requests or other things we need, like the boat to transport patients

00:03:41:01 - 00:03:53:00
Before Doctors Without Borders arrived, patients that need referral have to pay the cost of renting a boat.

00:03:53:00 - 00:04:01:09
A private boat, especially if it’s an emergency, so they can spend five to six thousand pesos for a one-way trip going there.

00:04:01:09 - 00:04:03:03
Just to transport a patient.

00:04:03:03 - 00:04:05:04
Interview with Marie Kris Yurtes, Barangay Secretary, Brgy. Catadman, Surigao City

00:04:05:04 - 00:04:09:03
I toured the whole village.

00:04:09:03 - 00:04:21:12
I told people that whoever wanted to evacuate should go to our church, because that’s the highest point where we could go

00:04:21:12 - 00:04:27:17
When we arrived at church there were a lot of families already.

00:04:27:17 - 00:04:34:11
About 30, by my count

00:04:34:11 - 00:04:37:02
We saw someone was wounded

00:04:37:02 - 00:04:41:17
They had been hit by a metal sheet from someone’s roof, because of the extreme winds

00:04:41:17 - 00:04:50:02
When I got home my husband said our house was gone, it had fallen apart.

00:04:50:02 - 00:04:53:13
I looked at other houses, and they were gone too.

00:04:53:13 - 00:05:04:08
It's all been destroyed, my husband said. Let's go back to the church, because we can't do anything about it anymore. It’s just a house.

00:05:04:08 - 00:05:07:15
The important thing is that we are all alive.

00:05:07:15 - 00:05:09:16
Interview with Queencel Catulay from Brgy. Sugbay, Surigao City

00:05:09:16 - 00:05:15:04
With this typhoon, I was really scared because

00:05:15:04 - 00:05:28:03
What we saw, ma’am, the flood, the seawater, it must have been three metres high at the evacuation center

00:05:28:03 - 00:05:39:23
So I say thank you, despite everything that happened, a little help still comes in, rice, canned food, ma'am hygiene kits

00:05:39:23 – 00:05:48:14
We will rise again, even if things are like this now, we will rise again. We cannot just sit around and wait, we will recover.

00:05:48:14 - 00:05:57:00
it's just a matter of getting our livelihood back, our boats so we can get back to the sea ma'am

00:05:57:00 - 00:05:59:01
Interview with Chenery Ann Lim, Emergency Coordinator,
Typhoon Rai Emergency Response

00:05:59:01 - 00:06:01:24
So the difficulty really here is that

00:06:01:24 – 00:06:06:12
Access wise to a lot of the areas are very challenging

00:06:06:12 - 00:06:11:06
Because we're not just talking about now difficulties in the weather

00:06:11:06 - 00:06:16:01
But also because going to one island to the other we have to ride boats

00:06:16:01 - 00:06:18:03
And sometimes the big boat cannot go in

00:06:18:03 - 00:06:21:01


00:06:21:01 - 00:06:25:10
Because sometimes the islands are too small

00:06:25:10 - 00:06:29:14
So when we go sometimes to the land we’re the first people they actually saw

00:06:29:14 – 00:06:35:06
So sometimes we have a lot of patients with upper respiratory tract infections

00:06:35:06 - 00:06:40:11
Gastroenteritis so it really varies a lot majority of the times also what we are seeing is that

00:06:40:11 – 00:06:42:22
Some of the patient that has like maintenance medication because of what happened to the typhoon

00:06:42:22 - 00:06:46:07
A lot of their medications are like lost

00:06:46:07 - 00:06:51:13
Because of the, their houses are gone

00:06:51:13 - 00:06:54:21
We have been doing now is that ah sometimes when we do hygiene kit this distribution

00:06:54:21 - 00:06:59:05
We also do like consultation for the people

00:06:59:05 - 00:07:02:02
We also do like, screening for their nutrition to make sure also that

00:07:02:02 – 00:07:06:01
Ah we’re also doing now some augmentation of health staff so we have some medical staff

00:07:06:01 - 00:07:13:13
To help out also the hospitals in ensuring that health services will be continued

00:07:13:13 - 00:07:15:14
Interview with Jonathan Pillejera, Logistician, Typhoon Rai Emergency Response

00:07:15:14 - 00:07:22:16
We saw how the storm had devastated the entire island

00:07:22:16 - 00:07:28:09
As soon as the boat docked, we could see already

00:07:28:09 - 00:07:33:08
On the mountain, the trees had fallen

00:07:33:08 - 00:07:40:05
houses broken up, and the streets full of debris

00:07:40:05 - 00:07:45:11
Oh and at the time of our arrival, it was still raining here

00:07:45:11 - 00:07:54:13
Almost everything was destroyed, if not 100%, then 75% destroyed

00:07:54:13 - 00:07:59:19
It’s really damaged, and really not usable

00:07:59:19 - 00:08:11:13
we've seen the health of, first of all their health facilities, aside from being down

00:08:11:13 - 00:08:26:06
Health personnel are also affected, so they can’t go to work

00:08:26:06 - 00:08:30:05
So it's too much, whoever manages to go to work just gets too tired

00:08:30:05 - 00:08:42:04
The health care workers, we help them and we also plan to distribute relief goods, or what we call hygiene kit distribution
