00:00And because of the hot weather, the Department of Education adjusted the schedule of the class.
00:06This is a precaution to avoid activities outside when the sun is hot.
00:11Other agencies also have a precaution against the heat.
00:15This is the news of Ian Cruz.
00:20Outside their house in Baseco Compound in Manila,
00:23the parents of these children set up a portable pool to cool themselves.
00:28Since yesterday, it was very hot.
00:31That's why we set up a swimming pool for the children.
00:35The poultry farms in Pangasinan were strictly monitored by their pets
00:40so that they won't get sick in the middle of the hot weather.
00:43They are not allowed to drink water.
00:45It's dark there.
00:45They are not allowed to go out.
00:47Those who are sick are being taken care of
00:49because they might get dizzy, have a headache, and others.
00:55The Department of Health just reminded us to drink maintenance medicine on time.
00:59When we are stressed and because of the heat,
01:02we might get frustrated,
01:05we might get dizzy,
01:07so your blood pressure might increase.
01:10If you don't drink medicine,
01:11it might lead to a heart attack or a stroke.
01:17It's better to wear clothes made of light materials
01:20to keep your body fresh.
01:22Avoid going out from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
01:26when the sun is bright and you always drink water.
01:29Also, don't suddenly go to a cold or hot place.
01:33Let's not quickly switch from hot to cold.
01:37It can cause headaches and stress to the body.
01:41Those who have hiccups can trigger asthma.
01:44You should also have a hydration break that won't decrease
01:46for 15 to 20 minutes.
01:48That's one way to ensure you won't get a heatstroke.
01:52If you might get dizzy and have a headache,
01:55because it's so hot, that's important as well.
01:58The MMDA is implementing a 30-minute heatstroke break policy
02:03for their enforcers and MetroAids in Lanzangan
02:06from March 3 to May 31.
02:09There's also an additional 15 minutes
02:11if the heat index exceeds 40 degrees Celsius.
02:14The Bureau of Corrections bought sandals for PDLs
02:18and assured that there's enough water in the cells.
02:21DepEd is also working on adjusting the schedule of some classes.
02:26In some places, the morning class is 6 to 10 a.m.,
02:29the afternoon class is 2 to 6 p.m.,
02:32and the asynchronous learning is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
02:37They remind students to avoid going outside
02:41on a cold day.
02:42You should remove your clothes from the air ducts
02:45and in every classroom, you should have a first aid kit
02:48with cooling packs and a thermometer.
02:51DepEd will also provide additional electric fans
02:54in the classrooms.
02:55They will also build hydration stations
02:58and will provide a water container.
03:01And together with LGUs and other government agencies,
03:05they will inspect the classrooms.
03:08According to Pagasa,
03:09even though it's possible for it to rain in some places,
03:12it doesn't mean that the temperature will drop.
03:15It's sad to say, when it rains for a while,
03:18we get more vapor around us.
03:21So it means that our relative humidity will increase
03:24or it will become more humid.
03:26The heat index increases.
03:28Ian Cruz reporting for GMA Integrated News.
