00:00 The Hull of Nation approach of the government continues to address the possible effects of El Niño in the country.
00:08 In the program "Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon",
00:10 National Irrigation Administration Administrator Engineer Eduardo Guillen said
00:16 that they have already seen the effects of El Niño,
00:19 including planting high yield crops that are in hot weather.
00:25 In addition, the NIA also uses alternative wetting and drying technology to reach the crops.
00:33 The government also has a Tupad Program and Cash for Work,
00:36 which is another agency for affected farmers.
00:41 So now, the NIA is monitoring the Central Luzon, especially the lack of water for the Pantabangan Dam.
00:47 There is no problem in the water of Magat Dam for farmers in Isabela and other places.
00:55 We estimate that El Niño will affect 20%.
01:00 But if you plant 20% and you will increase the yield by 50%,
01:06 surely our production will not decrease.
