00:00 [Dramatic music]
00:02 In the remote barangays, like Kapalong in Davao del Norte,
00:07 only the hanging bridge is the only thing that connects the province and other barangays.
00:14 What if they now give up the bridge?
00:19 [Dramatic music]
00:26 Almost all barangay in Suaon, Kapalong, Davao del Norte,
00:32 almost gave up on the request of the government last week.
00:36 [Crying]
00:48 The hanging bridge in their barangay gave up.
00:52 [Dramatic music]
00:54 The reason they are looking for is the heavy rainfall
00:59 because of the constant rain in this part of Mindanao in the past few days.
01:06 [Dramatic music]
01:18 The worst part is that the 120-meter-long Taguango Hanging Bridge was cut off.
01:26 While the hanging bridge is still there, more than 40 people are still trapped.
01:31 The residents are desperately trying to save some of the victims
01:36 who are fighting for their lives.
01:40 [Crying]
01:42 [Dramatic music]
01:51 19-year-old Cyril was ordered to buy rice when a river crossed his motorcycle.
01:59 I was in a hurry to get to the hanging bridge.
02:04 [Dramatic music]
02:06 [Speaking in Tagalog]
02:20 Cyril's motorcycle was lucky enough to get to the river.
02:24 So, Cyril and his cousins risked their lives to get to the river to get it.
02:31 [Speaking in Tagalog]
02:34 [Gunshots]
02:39 Almost half an hour later, they were able to save the motorcycle.
02:44 [Dramatic music]
02:46 I am very thankful to my aunt, sir, because she helped me get the motorcycle.
02:51 [Speaking in Tagalog]
02:52 Jeric was able to let go of everything, except his cell phone.
02:57 He held it tightly, even though one of his hands was holding the cable of the rope.
03:04 Until he saw his nephew, Cyra, who fell and seemed to be drowning.
03:11 I sacrificed my cell phone so that my nephew could survive.
03:16 He could see my cell phone, but not my life.
03:20 I pulled his clothes and said, "Please forgive me."
03:23 Luckily, sir, I held a few banana leaves.
03:28 We were able to get to the river.
03:30 I was drowned.
03:32 [Screaming]
03:34 [Dramatic music]
03:35 Annalyn, who is 33 years old, was at home when she heard that the water level in the river had risen.
03:43 [Speaking in Tagalog]
03:50 She said that she drowned her children, Kian and Nais, in the river.
03:55 They were 14 and 9 years old.
03:57 But Annalyn was brave enough to stand on the hanging bridge.
04:00 I was scared.
04:02 [Screaming]
04:06 I was afraid that my head would hit the metal.
04:09 [Screaming]
04:11 She fell into the deep water.
04:14 She was badly injured and wet on her face.
04:19 I was so scared that I fell down.
04:23 [Screaming]
04:30 Nais was lucky that he was at the end of the rope when he was hit.
04:36 His grandfather, Kian, was rescued.
04:39 I was so scared that I almost died.
04:42 My children were also there.
04:44 [Dramatic music]
04:47 Four days after the accident, the hanging bridge that was given to them was still submerged in the middle of the river.
04:55 They were excited to go there.
04:57 There were so many people.
04:58 Some of them were watching the fishing.
05:00 Some of them were catching wood.
05:02 Some of them were taking selfies.
05:04 That was the reason why the hanging bridge was given to them.
05:07 According to the barangay of Suaon, the injury was caused by a shark.
05:12 The NGO acted quickly and sent them help.
05:16 [Screaming]
05:18 But some of them were injured by being cut by a rope for a long time,
05:24 just like what happened to Joseph's father, Castillo.
05:28 When I fell, someone called me and said, "Sir, your father is dead."
05:33 The rescue of their father was not easy.
05:36 I was so scared that I almost died.
05:39 I was holding my head up high.
05:42 I couldn't do it because I was holding my head up high.
05:47 They tried to bring him to the hospital, but everything was too late.
05:52 [Screaming]
05:55 But what is the real reason behind the giving of the rope?
05:59 In 2015, the Taguango Hanging Bridge was built.
06:03 It was built in Puruk 1, Adelanto and Puruk 2, Taguango in the barangay of Suaon.
06:10 It was used by students to go to school.
06:13 People also pass through here to buy products.
06:17 But in 2017, it collapsed for the first time.
06:22 Dated back to 2021 up to now, that's the only time the bridge was damaged because of flooding.
06:28 The rope was repaired and reopened in 2021.
06:33 The two towers there are made of steel and concrete.
06:36 We used 1-1/2-inch diameter steel.
06:41 We have an angle bar on the side of the flooring.
06:45 We also have a secondary so that the children won't fall.
06:49 The flooring is also made of wood.
06:51 The Municipal Engineering Office of Kapalong clarified that the weight of the wooden floor
06:58 is not due to the rain, but because of overloading.
07:03 The load limit of the people is 5 to 10 persons.
07:10 Because of the damage of the bridge, life in Barangay Suaon is now difficult.
07:17 Before, it took only 5 minutes to cross the other Puruk.
07:22 Now, residents have to walk for 1 to 2 hours to reach the alternative route.
07:30 [Music]
07:34 [Foreign Language]
07:41 They can ride a raft made of bamboo to cross the river quickly.
07:48 [Music]
07:51 But it's only 7 in the morning and the line is already long.
07:56 Since the river was built, we ride a raft here because there's no other way to go to school.
08:02 It's also heavy for the bag, especially for the students.
08:06 The cost is 20 pesos per person.
08:09 The children would have already paid for it at school.
08:12 I just use my backpack to carry my school bag.
08:16 To help the students, we will make free massages for the students.
08:21 We also did that before.
08:23 They also don't have life vests.
08:26 It's still dangerous, especially since the river is 15 feet deep.
08:30 [Music]
08:33 This is a big adjustment for us.
08:36 It's very dangerous, sir.
08:38 [Music]
08:51 To save money, some residents swim manually.
08:56 Like this man who dived with his dog.
09:01 [Music]
09:04 He carries a bag and he tries to lift it so it won't get wet.
09:08 [Music]
09:13 This is a massage, sir.
09:15 I'm a swimmer.
09:16 The fabric is important to us because first of all, it's for the students.
09:21 And for the products, there's no other way to get what we need if it's not the fabric.
09:28 We want to ask for help from those who are watching right now.
09:33 Even if it's just a little help, because it's really hard if there's no fabric.
09:39 Meanwhile, the City Engineer's Office has already done an inspection.
09:43 Their plan is to replace the concrete fabric that they requested from the DPWH of Region 11.
09:51 The Mayor's office already wrote to the DPWH to inform them for the immediate need for the repair or if not, reconstruction of the new road.
10:02 Unfortunately, the fabric is not in the DPWH's cloud because it's not along the national road.
10:08 Because the DPWH's mandate is national roads and bridges and major flood control only.
10:14 One thing we suggest for them is to draft a resolution and submit it to the provincial government or to their representatives for possible funding.
10:24 Meanwhile, as a help, the local government unit of Kapalong has already sent groceries, medicines, and checked up the affected residents.
10:34 We just gave them antibiotics, pain reliever, and anti-tetanus shots.
10:40 I have also told the government officials that they should send their support to the fabric.
10:46 It's easy, we can easily deal with the flood.
10:48 If it's going to rain, let's go.
10:58 I hope that the promises to them of a stronger and safer road will not be left unfulfilled.
