ANIM NA BUWANG SANGGOL, NAMATAY DAHIL SA HEAT STROKE NA SANHI NG MATINDING INIT
“Nang maidlip ‘yung anak ko, naligo lang ako saglit. Pagbalik ko, nanlalamig na siya.
‘Yung kulay niya po maputla, ‘yung labi niya po sobrang putla na parang nagba-violet na.
Hindi ko po alam ano iisipin ko kasi parang dinudurog ang puso ko na makita ‘yung anak ko na ganoon.
Nang isugod namin sa pinakamalapit na ospital, patay na po.
Heat stroke daw po.”
— Hannah
Ina ng 6 na buwang nasawi dahil sa heat stroke.

00:10 In the scorching heat, who is not hot-headed?
00:15 If you have a lover like yourself, in the heat that we feel right now,
00:19 in anything or anything, where can you hug her?
00:22 In boiling water.
00:24 In the scorching heat of coffee.
00:26 Maybe a trial in the US.
00:28 [music]
00:32 The heat index is the temperature and moisture of our body.
00:38 We can feel the heat or the heat index if we look at our body like today.
00:47 Whoo!
00:48 It's so hot!
00:50 Hottest April in the history, my dear friends.
00:53 Because of the Global Air and Sea Surface Temperature Average. Can you still do it?
00:58 According to the weather specialist of Pag-asa, Loren Joy Estrabillo,
01:03 Metro Manila is in the danger level category because the temperature is reaching 42 to 47 degrees Celsius.
01:11 If the temperature of the air is high, our body's tendency is to sweat.
01:16 If the moisture in the air is too high, the tendency of sweating is stopped.
01:22 [music]
01:25 Hannah will never forget the heat that she experienced by her six children in April 2024.
01:34 [music]
01:36 Hey, yo!
01:38 That's why she did everything to make them do it.
01:43 We went outside, we took a break.
01:48 After the break, we went inside and I played with her.
01:54 She even made the rain fall. She was so happy.
01:59 When baby Lucas was in the shower, Hannah took a bath.
02:04 When she came back, she got cold.
02:10 Her lips were pale, like they were violating.
02:21 Mom, I love you.
02:24 My heart was breaking when I saw my daughter like that.
02:28 When the baby was rushed to the nearest hospital, this is where the death toll was declared.
02:37 It was a heat stroke. The doctor said that three babies were being rushed there.
02:43 There was no sign of heat stroke. Most of them were running out of oxygen.
02:50 The heat that we experienced in April was record-breaking.
02:55 This is also a memory that is still crushing Hannah's heart.
03:00 I'm regretting it because I wish I didn't leave her.
03:06 If I didn't leave her, that wouldn't have happened.
03:10 It really hurts.
03:14 That's why I'm blaming myself. But nothing good happened.
03:22 It was just a sudden thing.
03:26 I didn't expect that it would happen. It hurts so much.
03:36 The urban heat island effect is one of the reasons why it's hotter here in Metro Manila.
03:42 We're surrounded by many structures, especially buildings.
03:47 The built-up areas, like here in Quezon City and other surrounding cities,
03:54 there are many buildings and roads made of materials that trap, absorb, and retain heat.
04:03 That heat is not going anywhere. That's what causes the high heat index.
04:10 The public will remember the year 2023 when the United Nations announced the so-called global boiling.
04:19 The era of global warming has ended. The era of global boiling has arrived.
04:26 The air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable.
04:35 It's an urgent call to action to make steps to stop the rise in global temperatures.
04:44 And with our small steps, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions so that the global temperature doesn't continue to rise.
04:55 We will expand the green spaces and use nature-based solutions like planting trees.
05:04 That will reduce the heat temperature.
05:07 I'm here at Oroceros Forest Park where this is considered the last living land of Manila.
05:16 At this time, it's 12.30 p.m. and it's said that this is the peak of the highest heat index that we can experience.
05:26 But for me, at this moment, I don't feel the heat of the sun because of the trees around me at this time.
05:36 With a standard thermometer, you can immediately know the temperature of a place.
05:44 What is our current temperature?
05:46 For now, our current temperature is 33.99.
05:51 It's not bad because what we record, the heat index of the heat is usually above 40.
05:57 What happens is that we shade from the trees, so our temperature goes down, unlike the exposed areas.
06:11 At this time, while I'm talking, I feel the heat and my sweat is dripping.
06:16 We will see the difference of the temperature outside and inside Oroceros Forest Park.
06:23 What is our current temperature?
06:26 Our current temperature is 35.2.
06:29 Based on the formula, we used 43.
06:35 We are at the danger level. We need to avoid the sun.
06:41 We might have heat risk problems.
06:45 Because of the wind, we are going to swim. We cannot get wet in the heat of the sun. Let's go.
06:51 According to the spokesperson of the Department of Health, Albert Domingo,
06:55 heat stroke can be avoided if it can be avoided by sunbathing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
07:03 If we can avoid going out because we have other alternatives, then that's good.
07:07 We can go to the dark, inside, or in the cave.
07:10 We will have regular rest intervals, usually every hour, 10 minutes, and there is always access to clean water.
07:18 Dear friends, always remember to take care of our environment to ensure a good future.
07:30 I am Anzuel Pertera, your UH weather presenter.
