Transcript
00:00Some parts of the country are already experiencing the effects of heatwaves,
00:03including in Peterhuiso, where farmers are suffering from damage to their crops due to lack of water.
00:09EJ Gomez has the news.
00:14If not for the flood, some crops of tobacco would be almost gone due to the hot weather in Pidig, Ilocos Norte.
00:21There is no irrigation in the area and the rain is slow, so the farmers are relying on water pumps.
00:27If we don't irrigate our crops, our crops will die.
00:32The supply of water is also a problem for some farmers in the town of San Nicolás.
00:37More than half of their crops are reduced due to the flooding in the middle of the summer.
00:43The harvest season has arrived for the sweet corn crops in Santo Niño, Cotabato.
00:48However, most of them are rejected due to their small size.
00:53There is also a lack of water, so the irrigation and canals are being cut off.
00:58The dry season is a problem for more than 5,000 students of Kalasyao Comprehensive National High School in Pangasinan.
01:06Classrooms are being shut down.
01:08Ventilators have been shut down due to the lack of transformers in the classrooms.
01:14We limit it to four.
01:16When there was no problem, we had seven electric fans in a room.
01:21But it was not enough.
01:23We need to add a transformer.
01:26Classes in the school are being shifted.
01:29The problem has reached the Department of Education Division Office.
01:33The LGU will also help solve this problem.
01:36In Quezon City, some students are complaining about the heat.
01:40It's very hot.
01:42It's very hot when you enter the school.
01:44Especially when you go home.
01:46It's very hot when you ride a jeepney.
01:51It's already hot, but the heat remedies will be added in the next few months.
01:56According to Pag-asa, in the last part of April until the first half of May,
02:01the heat in some parts of the country will reach 48 to 50 degrees Celsius.
02:06It will be difficult for us to release our sweat.
02:10We will not be able to sweat.
02:12And of course, we will have what we call heat exhaustion, or heat stress, or heat cramps.
02:19Those are the possible.
02:21Our discomfort level is very high.
02:24Our head will really hurt.
02:28The good news, according to Pag-asa,
02:30the heat of the time will not reach its peak now,
02:33just like in 2024 with El Nino.
