00:00 It's past 7 in the morning, let's take a look at the situation of the first day of school in San Gabriel Elementary School in Macabebe, Pampanga.

00:07 And we still have with us Anju Perchera. Anju.

00:11 Thank you, Igan. Good morning, Kapuso.

00:17 Today is the official start of the school year for all public schools here in the Philippines.

00:23 But here in San Gabriel Elementary School in Pampanga, not only teachers and students are the ones who will face problems for the students,

00:31 but also floods that they have been facing for years.

00:35 Here on my right, is the former COVID court and the school grounds where the school activities that are conducted by the school and teachers are held for their students.

00:45 But now, they can't use it because the water level is high here and it has reached the level of the students' mouths.

00:52 The solution is that the volunteers here have built a makeshift bridge.

00:57 This is what the students are building, Kapuso.

01:00 It will go to the other building where the Kinder and Grade 2 students will enter.

01:04 Kapuso, if you will notice, this bridge is made of wooden planks.

01:09 So it is a dangerous place for the students, especially the children, to enter here because they don't have railings or anything to hold on to on this side

01:17 so that the water can be passed through and avoid the water to fall here.

01:20 That's why, Kapuso, their situation here is very difficult.

01:24 On my left, are the former classrooms where lectures and lessons are held by the teachers and students.

01:32 But now, they can't use it because the water is still deep.

01:37 You can see that the seats and the walls are already submerged.

01:43 You can see how high the water has reached.

01:46 Now, Kapuso, this morning, we will talk to the principal of San Gabriel Elementary School, Ma'am Eufemia Castro.

01:54 Ma'am, good morning.

01:56 Good morning.

01:57 Ma'am, when do you build this bridge?

02:01 When we see that the water is rising and the entrance is near, our board is ready to build the bridge for the children.

02:13 Ma'am, how long has the water been here in this school?

02:17 The water has been here for 6 to 8 months.

02:22 Ma'am, how difficult is it for you to get the water to flow and come here to the river so that you can enter here?

02:29 We, in San Gabriel, are already used to this water because we have been bringing water here for a long time.

02:35 Now, we are trying to help the children who are transferring here so that they won't fall or get hurt in the water.

02:45 Because it is deep here, sir.

02:47 Ma'am, how many children need to cross this bridge?

02:51 And how can we make sure that the children who will cross this bridge will be safe?

02:56 We have a Kinder, Grade 1 and Grade 2 in the other building.

03:01 We are responsible for their transfer to the other building.

03:06 We are the utility, the civilians.

03:09 We are responsible for the children so that we can see that the children are safe in their transfer and return to the main building.

03:17 Ma'am, this is just an additional question.

03:20 How do you feel when you see the students who are still in pain and need to cross this bridge?

03:26 Of course, we are sad.

03:28 Because the children, first of all, they are not used to the water.

03:36 Unlike if there is a ground, the children can run.

03:41 But here, it is dangerous for the children to run.

03:43 They might fall.

03:45 So, their path to the bridge is limited.

03:49 Ma'am, how many students are expected to enter the school on the first day of school?

03:53 As of now, we have 110 students.

03:58 And you are expecting all of them to enter the school on the first day?

04:01 Yes, of course.

04:02 We are expecting them to enter the school on the first day.

04:04 What are the preparations and adjustments that you have made for the transferees, for the new students who will enter the school?

04:10 We have prepared a small snack for them.

04:13 That is what we are preparing for the start of the class.

04:19 And for the transferees, we have given them special treatment because they are new to our school.

04:28 Ma'am, this is the last question. Do you have a call for help?

04:31 Because the situation here is very difficult, especially for the students.

04:34 Do you have a call for help?

04:36 I am calling on behalf of the televiewers of our first unit.

04:41 I hope that our problem here in the water will be solved.

04:46 Especially our school grounds.

04:49 I hope that there are 10 students who are ready to help and give donations

04:54 so that our school grounds can be protected and our children can use it.

04:58 Thank you very much.

04:59 We have with us now, Ma'am Eufemia Castro, Principal of San Gabriel Elementary School.
