00:00 Let's talk about it first.
00:02 I watched your report on the climate change special
00:05 that was brought to us by the GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
00:09 You talked about the effect of climate change on children.
00:12 So, Andrew, please tell us about your experience in Tondo.
00:16 Actually, I talked to a lot of people there.
00:19 I talked to almost all the families.
00:21 They came from the province.
00:22 They came here to Manila.
00:24 That's why they went to Vitas Tondo.
00:26 They really talked a lot.
00:27 Yes, that's what they talked about.
00:29 And what I heard is that since the price of crude oil is increasing,
00:33 almost all the people there are drivers.
00:36 They are the main earners of the family.
00:38 That's their job.
00:39 So, if the price of crude oil is high, they don't have to travel.
00:41 So, automatically, they don't have food for the family.
00:45 So, I talked to someone.
00:46 What happened is that the father of the family doesn't earn much.
00:50 They eat twice a day.
00:53 And what they eat is just dry.
00:56 And I asked out of curiosity,
00:59 for example, it's the child's birthday tomorrow.
01:02 What is his first wish?
01:04 I cried when I heard it.
01:06 Because he said he wanted to eat Adobo.
01:09 That's his simple wish.
01:11 And their situation there is very simple.
01:14 But you know, it hurts.
01:16 It's very old.
01:17 And their situation there is that their houses are next to each other.
01:21 When I passed by their house, I was already next to them.
01:24 I just wanted to say hello.
01:25 How about the height?
01:27 The height is the same.
01:29 I was already next to them.
01:30 So, this is their house.
01:31 This is the other one.
01:32 So, this is the only space between their houses.
01:34 So, it's very hot.
01:36 In the afternoon, it's very hot.
01:38 There's no proper ventilation.
01:39 There's no ventilation at all.
01:40 And if there is, it's very smelly.
01:42 The sea is very polluted.
01:44 Because they are very close to the sea.
01:45 That's where the base of their houses is built.
01:48 And outside, there are big trucks that go to the pier.
01:53 So, the best of both worlds is pollution.
01:56 There's air pollution and water pollution.
01:58 That's how it is.
01:59 In your report, the children are the most affected.
02:02 They are the ones who have nothing to do with climate change.
02:04 But they are the most affected.
02:06 Yes, that's true, Sir Rafi.
02:07 UNICEF said that the children who are 14 years old and below are the most affected by climate change.
02:14 Based on their research, they provided data.
02:17 18 million are affected.
02:18 These are just children.
02:20 18 million are affected by flooding.
02:23 13 million have no access to clean drinking water.
02:26 In our country alone, there are 13 million.
02:29 Based on their research, the children who are born in 2020 onwards,
02:33 so, those who are 2 or 3 years old,
02:36 will experience 2.3% more heatwaves, 1.8% more droughts.
02:42 It will be hotter.
02:44 That's what they said.
02:45 So, the water shortage and famine is due to their formative years.
02:48 That's true.
02:50 We can't avoid climate change.
02:53 We are at the boiling point.
02:56 What are your advice to our viewers?
02:59 Just a few tips so that we can help each other.
03:02 So, viewers, based on the research,
03:07 the children are the most affected, those who are 2 or 3 years old.
03:11 That means they have no access to the things they are experiencing now.
03:16 So, we, the parents and the elderly,
03:20 we hope that we can teach them,
03:22 at least at a young age,
03:24 to inform them on how to be clean in the environment,
03:28 how to consume electricity correctly,
03:32 just simple things.
03:34 Because when they adapt, it will be a big help,
03:36 not just for us, but for the whole world.
03:39 We all lose.
03:40 It should be now.
03:41 If millions of people help each other,
03:42 even a small thing will have a big impact.
03:45 Thank you, Anjo.
03:46 Thank you.
03:47 But Anjo is so polite.
03:48 He's just "Pon" to us.
03:49 We are still young, Anjo.
03:50 You're the one who's dragging us, 2 years old.
