00:00 El Niño has already printed more than P100 million worth of pencils in the Western Visayas and Zamboanga peninsulas.
00:07 One of the most important areas of government concern is water security.
00:11 Now, some water sources in the provinces are drying up.
00:15 Here is my first news.
00:17 This is how deep the hole is in this balloon made in a barangay in San Juan, Abra
00:26 to solve the problem of water supply.
00:29 In Cagayan, some farmers rely on water pumps to water their crops.
00:35 Others plant early so that there won't be a huge drought in the coming months.
00:41 In some parts of Bohol, the crops are already split.
00:46 Rivers and canals.
00:48 The water supply in the dam reservoir in Luzon is decreasing.
00:52 Like the Angat Dam, which supplies 60% of the water in Metro Manila and Karatig province.
00:58 But according to Pag-asa, this is usually during the rainy season, when it's only a few rains.
01:04 In the Western Visayas and Zamboanga peninsulas,
01:09 the amount of pencils is already reaching P109 million worth of pencils that are drying up
01:14 according to the Regional Field Office of the Department of Agriculture.
01:18 More than 2,000 farmers are affected.
01:21 The DA is continuously spreading information
01:25 like the proper care of the crops during the El Niño.
01:28 Water security is one of the most important areas of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
01:33 that is now affected by the severe effects of the El Niño in the country.
01:37 They are now directly contacting the local governments about this.
01:41 The first 135 water projects have been packaged
01:47 that will be open to government as well as PPP opportunities
01:51 in order to service our most water-stressed areas.
01:55 The National Irrigation Administration has been preparing for a long time for the effects of the El Niño.
02:00 The sun wants to rise. Our yield is higher when it's sunny.
02:05 So our President, Fertinan Marcos Jr.,
02:09 gave the NIA the high-yielding varieties so that we can plant them.
02:15 The DOLE and DSWD are also helping with the Tupad and Cash for Work Program
02:20 for those who will be affected by the El Niño.
