00:00 Flooding is still a problem in some schools.
00:04 One school in Ilocos Sur was flooded because of the Egay Flood,
00:07 and now it's flooded because of the Goring Flood.
00:10 Witnesses are Mackie Polido and Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:13 Some teachers were forced to give up their jobs
00:19 because of the Goring Flood
00:21 in Pantay Tamurong Elementary School in Kawayan, Ilocos Sur.
00:24 The school is now flooded.
00:27 It took almost a month to clean up
00:30 to remove the thick white that was left by the Egay Flood.
00:33 According to the school's board,
00:36 the first week of the class was a modular class.
00:39 In Calumpit, Bulacan,
00:41 the flood still hasn't subsided
00:43 in Doña Damiana de Leon Maca Memorial Elementary School.
00:47 In this school, Calumpit, Bulacan,
00:49 six classrooms still have water.
00:52 And you can see right here in front,
00:55 there's still water in the back.
00:58 But the school's principal is sure
01:00 that the children won't drown in the water.
01:03 In fact, some of the classrooms were converted.
01:06 One of the classes will be done here in the school's board.
01:11 The class is shifting first,
01:14 so from 6 to 4,
01:17 the school hours of some students are only.
01:19 Like that, there's a storm coming.
01:22 So we don't expect that by September, it will dry up.
01:26 It will probably last until October or November.
01:30 It depends on the time.
01:32 According to the Deped,
01:34 440 classrooms were damaged by the storm,
01:36 or there's still water.
01:38 But even if there's no water,
01:40 some schools still have problems
01:42 with the lack of classrooms and the damage of equipment.
01:45 Like in San Jose Elementary School in Rodriguez Rizal,
01:48 where parents are fighting over materials to buy,
01:52 to make tables.
01:54 Only a few pieces of cedar were left for Grade 6.
01:58 In San Jose National High School,
02:00 the back is also a problem.
02:02 The CR is a big problem for students who are just studying.
02:07 For 4,000 female students,
02:11 they can only use these 3 cubicles.
02:14 The same goes for male students, only 3 cubicles.
02:18 Because the toilets have no flush,
02:20 they have to pour water from the toilet bowl.
02:26 Washing their hands is also a problem.
02:30 For female students,
02:33 this is the only thing that works.
02:36 For male students, there's nothing that works.
02:39 80 students will be in each classroom with no seats.
02:44 According to DepEd,
02:46 159,000 classrooms are missing in the country.
02:49 The solution for DepEd is shifting or blended learning.
02:53 They are also continuing to address the lack of tables and seats.
02:57 Especially if there are 80 students in a class,
03:00 they can share the number of days in a week
03:04 for the face-to-face mixed with distance learning.
03:08 That is the long-term solution that we are looking at.
03:12 For GMA Integrated News,
03:14 I'm Mackie Pulido and Sandra Aguinaldo.
03:17 We are your witnesses.
