00:00The farmers are hoping to harvest fresh vegetables in Benguet but due to the heat and lack of water, some of their crops are not able to be used.

00:14This is the calamity that the farmers are facing, which is being helped by the GMA Kapusa Foundation under the Operation Bayanihan Project.

00:26The province of Benguet is a mountainous and high-altitude area, which is why the climate here is cold.

00:34But this summer, the country's famous salad bowl was also not saved from the severe effects of El Niño.

00:42The crops of the farmers are drying up and there is also a shortage of water supply.

00:48Even the water tank that Rico built in Mount St. Thomas in Tuba, Benguet, has also dried up.

00:55When summer comes, this is what we have, ma'am. There is really a shortage.

01:01It's all gone, ma'am, from watering to seedlings to transplanting, ma'am. It's all gone.

01:11Rico is a farmer. He also buys 30 drums of water per week from Baguio City for his crops, which is worth P2,500.

01:23He says he only uses this water tank for four days because it is too hot.

01:29But it is expected that it will be even hotter this month.

01:34So as a help, the GMA Kapusa Foundation distributed food packs and hygiene kits to farmers like Rico in Tuba, Itogon, and Tublay.

01:45The situation is worse this year, ma'am.

01:48Back then, farmers can plant their crops and there is still a shortage of water.

01:54Now, there is a shortage of water, even in the source.

01:58There is not enough income, there is not enough harvest for the farmers.

02:02So this is the help of the GMA Foundation, ma'am. It's a big help.

02:06For those who want to be a part of our project, they can deposit in our bank accounts or send to Cebuano New Year.

02:12It can also be done online via GCash, Shopee, Lazada, and Metrobank Credit Card.
