00:00It's just the beginning of the heatwave, and the effects are already felt in some provinces.
00:04According to Ilocos Norte, some farmers have a problem.
00:07Their crops are being destroyed and the water supply is lacking.
00:12Here is the first news.
00:16If not for the flood, some crops of tobacco are almost gone
00:20in Pidig, Ilocos Norte due to the hot weather.
00:24There is no irrigation in the area and the rain is slow.
00:27That's why the farmers are relying on water pumps.
00:30If we don't supply tobacco, our crops will die.
00:35The water supply of some farmers in the town of San Nicolás is also a problem.
00:40More than half of their crops are being destroyed
00:43due to the water supply in the middle of the heat.
00:46The harvest season has arrived for the sweet corn crops in Santo Niño, Cotabato.
00:51However, most of the crops are rejected due to their small size.
00:56There is also a lack of water. That's why irrigation and canals are being shut down.
01:01The dry season is a problem for more than 5,000 students
01:05of Kalasyao Comprehensive National High School in Pangasinan.
01:09Classrooms are being shut down.
01:11Ventilators are being shut down because the transformer is not able to study.
01:17We are limiting it to four.
01:19When there was no problem, we had seven electric fans in a room.
01:24However, it is not able to study.
01:26We need to add a transformer.
01:29Classes in the school are being shifted.
01:32The problem has already reached the Department of Education Division Office.
01:36The LGU will also help in solving this problem.
01:39In Quezon City, some students are complaining about the heat.
01:43It's too hot.
01:45It's hot when we enter the school.
01:47Especially when we go home.
01:49When we walk or ride a jeep, it's too hot.
01:53It's already hot, but the heat remedies will be added in the coming months.
01:59According to Pag-Asa, in the last part of April until the first half of May,
02:03the heat in some parts of the country will reach 48 to 50 degrees Celsius.
02:09It will be hard for us to release our sweat.
02:13We won't be able to sweat.
02:15And of course, we will have what we call heat exhaustion,
02:18or heat stress, or heat cramps.
02:21Those are possible.
02:23We have high blood pressure, so our discomfort level will be high.
02:26Our heads will hurt and we will feel dizzy.
02:30The good news, according to Pag-Asa,
02:32the heat will not reach its peak like in 2024 with El Niño.
02:38This is the first news.
