00:00Nightly greetings one and all. Denise Osorio here, homegrown and glad to bring you PTV News Now.

00:07Tops on our news leaderboard tonight.

00:10Zero, nada, zilch, and thank goodness.

00:14The latest number of Filipinos reported by the Philippine Consulate General in the city of Houston

00:18in the aftermath of the incredibly powerful floods that swept the floodplains of Central Texas,

00:24Kirk County in particular, over the past 4th of July weekend.

00:28Consul General Gunter Emil Sales said in a recent radio interface with Radio Pilipinas,

00:34no Filipino casualty has reached or been reported to his office thus far.

00:39Sales likened the Texas or latest Texas calamity as once-in-a-lifetime deluge

00:43that pretty much harkens to Typhoon Ondoy, hitting and drowning the megacity with all-day torrential rains

00:50that left cars, rooftops, and even two-story structures underwater.

00:55The city of Kerrville bore the brunt of the torrential rains and raging floods over the weekend.

01:01An estimated 100 Filipinos call the city home.

01:05Kerrville is where the Mystic Summer Camp sits beside the Guadalupe River,

01:09which surged 26 feet during the dead of the night and tore through the girls' camp,

01:15sweeping everything and everyone in their sleep away to God knows where.

01:19It's a race against time as first responders search and rescue teams and volunteers from all over the Lone Star State

01:29descended into Central Texas, Kirk County, to help find more reportedly missing persons

01:35in the hope their search and rescue efforts don't turn into recovery operations.

01:39Toppled trees, downed street posts, overturned vehicles, and miscellaneous debris were everywhere,

01:47giving rescuers and searchers an inkling of the strength and scope of the raging waters

01:52that surged over roofs and treetops and swept everything in the way.

01:57Some 15 helicopters joined foot patrols down below to scour a vast area of a swollen Guadalupe River

02:03that overflowed its banks and furiously swept everything in its path.

02:08Tops in the rescuers' list of missing people, 10 female campers and a counselor in a Christian summer campsite

02:14beside the Guadalupe River, and a family of six that reportedly got swept away by the raging waters.

02:21U.S. President Donald Trump, who brushed aside questions, his budget cuts to the National Weather Service, NOAA,

02:28and FEMA factored heavily in the failure to forewarn people in the area,

02:33said he tentatively scheduled to pay a visit to Central Texas on Friday.

02:40Right now, let's turn to my colleague in PTV's Pine City Studios for what's hot and happening in the Cordilleras.
