00:00 In the middle of the heat, the rainwater from the first rain of May poured in some places.

00:07 But before that, many people are still discarding their water tanks to avoid the heat.

00:11 Jonathan Andal is on the scene.

00:13 Oops! That's not rain.

00:19 That's the water tanker of Manila City Hall

00:22 that was used to pump the roads in Spain, Quiapo, and Binondo.

00:27 To reduce the heat, some of his vehicles are slowing down to get wet.

00:32 It's fresh, it's not too hot.

00:35 If it's too hot, it's like twice as tiring.

00:39 But some motorists were literally wet.

00:43 It's okay.

00:44 Because?

00:45 So it's not too hot.

00:47 But the road was wet for less than an hour and it dried up immediately.

00:53 It's effective because it's easy to do. When the heat is gone, it's like it's getting colder.

00:59 I hope they do this every day when it's hot.

01:01 It's beneficial because it's too hot now.

01:04 This was the first time the local government did this because according to their forecast,

01:08 the temperature will reach 45 degrees Celsius heat index today.

01:13 As long as our index rises, we will do this every day.

01:17 It's not solid. It's in the shower. It's just like a misting effect.

01:22 But the task force El Nino said that they will still save water.

01:26 We appreciate the efforts of LGUs, but the next four weeks are critical in terms of water conservation.

01:34 Even though the water supply in Angat Dam and Metro Manila is still sufficient,

01:40 we still need to save water until the El Nino effect is not gone.

01:47 If the water is used for wastewater or for cleaning,

01:53 it's not a problem if it's used for road spray.

01:57 We don't have recycled water here.

02:01 There is some in Malayo, according to the NMDA, in Marikina.

02:05 We are doing prevention because our heat stroke patients and motorists are getting less.

02:14 In Del Pan Manila, some are taking a bath on the road using the seemingly unlimited water

02:19 that came from the well under the drainage.

02:23 That's why Mylene is taking a bath here from morning to night because they don't have a bathroom.

02:28 How many times do you take a bath?

02:29 Eight times.

02:30 Eight times in one day? Why so many?

02:33 It's so hot.

02:34 Animoy has a resort in Binondo because of the inflatable pool here.

02:39 Beat the heat, they say. Now, there's a cruel summer.

02:42 It's so hot. That's why I saved money to buy this.

02:46 It's so hot that we can't stay inside.

02:49 Inside the house?

02:50 Yes. Even if you have an electric fan, you can't handle it.

02:55 In Tondo,

02:56 the non-inflatable pool is content with a bathtub and a refrigerator that has no water.

03:05 It's bad. It's fresh. It's angry if it's not able to take a bath.

03:09 Our swimming was postponed because I don't have a budget.

03:12 This is cheap.

03:13 How much?

03:14 It's only P1,000 and it's just water.

03:16 In Valenzuela, mobile showers were deployed for free and fresh baths.

03:21 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, in Tutok, 24 Hours.
