00:00 Meanwhile, as a support to the implementation of the heat stroke break policy of the MMDA,
00:05 the two water concessionaires and a private company gave thousands of bottled water to the traffic enforcers and street sweepers of the MMDA.
00:15 Here is the report.
00:16 During the hot weather, the traffic enforcers, Aileen and Charlie, who are in a hurry,
00:25 were hit by a heat stroke. From 5 in the morning until 1 in the afternoon of their duty,
00:30 in the hour when the sun is scorching hot, cold water is the solution to the heat stroke and fight against the rising sun.
00:38 We drink water when we can't take it anymore. Sometimes we even faint.
00:43 But when it comes to traffic, we cannot avoid it because we need to be careful.
00:51 Especially when it's 4 in the morning, it's really hot.
00:56 I can't stand the water. I need to drink water because I suddenly feel dizzy.
01:05 To avoid the traffic enforcers, the two water concessionaires and a private company
01:10 gave support to the heat stroke break policy of the MMDA.
01:16 The MMDA accepted the thousands of mineral bottles.
01:21 The purpose of this was to help the field personnel of the agency,
01:24 especially the traffic enforcers and street sweepers, to avoid dehydration due to the hot weather.
01:31 Aside from the initial donation, the two water concessionaires and a private company
01:37 will continue to distribute water until the heat stroke break of the MMDA is implemented.
01:43 The MMDA will extend the heat stroke break until March 15, May 31.
01:50 According to MMDA General Manager Procopio Lipana, the donations are a big help to them.
01:56 Aside from the tumblers that were given to the traffic enforcers,
02:00 which they can use in the hot weather, they can also go to the emergency station
02:05 that the MMDA will place if they feel any discomfort in their bodies.
02:10 Let's try what will be our BP now.
02:13 This is a traditionally located place.
02:17 In case of heat stroke or anything that needs medical assistance, we are ready.
02:25 Meanwhile, MMDA Traffic Discipline Office Head Attorney Vic Nunez said
02:31 that they will also place water stations around the area to give free drinks to motorists.
