00:00Drowning Prevention Month is an important occasion that is held every month of May to raise awareness

00:06about the dangers of drowning and the steps that can be taken to prevent it.

00:13If that's the case, Audrey, let's invite the director of Easy Swim Philippine Life Saving Society,

00:18Mr. Carlito San Pedro, to give important information

00:22about the ways to protect ourselves and our loved ones in life

00:27from accidents and drowning.

00:30Good morning. Welcome to Rising Star Philippines, Coach Kaloy.

00:32Coach Kaloy, good morning.

00:34Good morning, everyone.

00:35Thank you for this opportunity.

00:37Thank you for being with us this morning.

00:39Drowning is really important, especially during Holy Week.

00:44A lot of people are on vacation.

00:47A lot of people really want to go out.

00:50The top one destination is Bajo Cuatro.

00:55We Filipinos are archipelagos.

00:57There are a lot of beautiful places to go.

00:59It's a vacation for Filipinos.

01:01First of all, can you explain to us

01:04the importance of Drowning Prevention Month

01:07and how it can help the communities?

01:10Number one, what we're doing right now,

01:15it's still early, but before Holy Week,

01:18we can give simple tips to avoid it.

01:25It can be a habit, like this platform,

01:29Rise and Shine,

01:30that before the day of Holy Week comes,

01:34we can prevent drowning in our country.

01:42Alright, what are the main signs of accidents and drowning?

01:45And what is the help of your group here?

01:47Usually, it's a lack of knowledge.

01:52Second, we have certain limits

01:56that we can only stay in the water for a long time

01:58because not all of us can swim.

02:04And third, it's hard to say or avoid

02:08drinking alcohol.

02:11Wow, that's amazing.

02:13It's like an easy life, right?

02:17After drinking, you go to the beach,

02:19and you're like, where is he?

02:21Sometimes, it's late at night,

02:23or early in the morning because you're drunk.

02:25I have a friend like that.

02:27He's so drunk that he can't swim.

02:30He jumped into a swimming pool that's too deep.

02:31He needs to be saved, or else he'll be disgraced.

02:34But have you ever experienced drowning?

02:37No, I took a swimming lesson before

02:40in our school.

02:41That's why I'm like a mermaid in the sea.

02:44I've experienced it before.

02:45What happened?

02:46I had to swim.

02:47Oh, I see.

02:48When you're young, you swim in the sea.

02:51You don't want to go out.

02:53That's why I had to swim.

02:54It's hard to move around when you're sick.

02:57So, you had to swim with an Odrigo Reseta.

02:59Of course, we're all drunk.

03:01Here's my coach.

03:02Okay.

03:03Sir, how does your group help

03:05in these kinds of incidents

03:07where you have to do information dissemination?

03:09What do you do?

03:11Most of the time, we talk to LGUs,

03:14government agencies.

03:16We give seminars and symposiums

03:19in schools

03:20so that the knowledge of Filipinos

03:24about the drowning prevention program can be expanded.

03:27We also have private sessions

03:31so that the scope can be expanded.

03:33And of course, as a coach,

03:35like me,

03:36one of the things I build

03:39is to train coaches like me

03:42so that the scope can be expanded.

03:45Okay.

03:46So, you're already teaching in school?

03:48Because there are instructors

03:53in the beaches of the Philippines, right?

03:55They give instructions

03:57on what to do

03:58when you go to the beaches.

04:00But here, despite your efforts,

04:02why is the number of cases of drowning

04:04in our country still high?

04:07Like I said earlier,

04:09sometimes, because of the excitement,

04:13because of what's in our minds,

04:15more on fun,

04:16when they see water,

04:17even if they can't see the bottom composition of the water

04:20or the depth,

04:21they just jump and jump.

04:23There.

04:23Is there a lack of lifeguards

04:25in the beaches of our country?

04:27To be honest, there are only a few.

04:30And the others are already abroad.

04:32They're disappearing.

04:33So, that's what our group does.

04:36We also train lifesavers

04:39throughout the country

04:41so that they can help

04:43people who just want to have fun

04:46in the swimming pool.

04:47That's what we really need to focus on right now.

04:52Okay.

04:53What are the personal tips

04:54that you can give to our RSVPs,

04:57including the parents,

04:58so that their children can still be safe

05:00around the water?

05:01Ah, number one,

05:04during the lunchtime,

05:07this is the time

05:09when the children need to be watched.

05:11Because we know that during lunchtime,

05:13especially during outings,

05:15we're all hungry.

05:17And sometimes,

05:18there's no supervision

05:19or direct supervision for the children.

05:22So, that time,

05:23that's the highest percentage

05:25that a child or a person can drown.

05:29Because everyone is really awake to eat.

05:31But the child doesn't know.

05:33He's already running around in the swimming pool.

05:34And of course...

05:35Yes, that's right.

05:37Because the father is already asleep.

05:39The father is already asleep.

05:40And the mother...

05:41And the mother is getting irritable.

05:44She's already running around in the water.

05:47She doesn't know how to swim.

05:49And she's still a child.

05:50And we're still in school

05:52watching the ocean.

05:53Yes, it's really lacking.

05:55So, I hope that more people like us

05:59will support this kind of program

06:01so that we can be more ground-free

06:03in the Philippines

06:05when the time comes.

06:07Do you save the hearts

06:09that want to drown?

06:11That's different.

06:12That's a different kind of drowning.

06:14We have a friend like that.

06:16It's a shame that he's not here.

06:17His name is AJ.

06:19Aside from the swimming lessons,

06:20what are the other safety measures

06:22that should be taught to the public,

06:24especially to those who are not used to

06:25or know how to swim?

06:28We have what's called an aqua code.

06:30It's an international aqua code.

06:32We have what's called a go-together.

06:34Every time we have someone with us

06:36or we have a body,

06:38every time we go to any kind of body of water

06:41so that in case of an emergency,

06:44we have what's called a reach-to-rescue.

06:47If we say reach-to-rescue,

06:49if there are two of you,

06:50automatically, something can happen to one of you.

06:53There might be an accident

06:55or an accident.

06:56So, we have a little hope that we can be rescued.

07:03We have what's called a reach-to-rescue.

07:05Even if we're not that good at swimming,

07:07we have what's called a non-contact rescue.

07:10Some people think that when it comes to life-saving,

07:13you have to be good at swimming.

07:16But most people don't know how to swim.

07:19So, what we do is we teach non-contact rescue.

07:23Using a towel,

07:25how to reach the drowning person

07:27when you're not the one holding the person.

07:30That's the simple technique that can help.

07:34And of course, we have what's called a stay-afloat.

07:37We get anything that floats

07:41that we can hold or put inside the drowning person's t-shirt.

07:47Because not everyone has life vests

07:49or life jackets in the resorts.

07:51Especially if the victim is far away.

07:56So, we can use an empty water bottle

08:00that we can give to the drowning person.

08:03Those are the simple tips that we can give.

08:07Does first aid come with it?

08:09Yes, it does.

08:12What we call in the drowning prevention program

08:16that we do throughout the Philippines,

08:18is what we call,

08:20what to do before you drown.

08:22This is a huge platform of Rise and Shine

08:24for those who are about to drown.

08:26What to do while you're drowning.

08:28And after you drown,

08:30that's where the first aid comes in.

08:32Like CPR.

08:34So, that's where the drowning prevention program

08:38will go around to save every Filipino.

08:40Alright, on that note.

08:41Thank you so much, Coach Kaloy,

08:43for your important insights and tips

08:45about this topic.

08:46Let's welcome the director of

08:48Easy Swim Philippine Life Saving Society,

08:51Mr. Carlitos San Pedro.

08:52Thank you so much.

08:53Thank you so much, Coach Kaloy.

08:54Thank you so much.
