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.
