00:00Because there was no rope, some people from Bulacan and Manzalay Oriental Mindoro crossed the river to go to the center of their towns.

00:14That's why they are the next recipients of Kapuso Tulay for the Kaunlaran Project of the GMA Kapuso Foundation.

00:23Because there was no rope, 73-year-old Igel was forced to cross the river to sell to the town of Bulalacau in Oriental Mindoro.

00:40While carrying 10 kilos of sweet potatoes and rice, Igel was not afraid to face the river that sometimes floated when the rain was heavy.

00:50It was late at night before we could reach Tiangue, around 7 or 8 p.m.

01:02If the river is high, we cannot cross it.

01:05Agriculture is the main livelihood in the area.

01:09And so that they won't have a hard time carrying rice whenever it rains, the GMA Kapuso Foundation will build a 70-meter cable-suspended steel bridge

01:23that will be used by 1,500 residents of Manzalay and Bulalacau.

01:31Although what happened to them was not good, they were affected by an oil spill, and there was also a drought last year.

01:41And there was also a drought now.

01:43At least, somehow, there is a silver lining in every cloud.

01:49The walkway is made up of steel, so it's really strong and it won't break easily.

01:56Our members in this project are the 51st Engineer Brigade of the Philippine Army.

02:01What the Armed Forces of the Philippines can provide is the manpower,

02:06the technical skills of our engineers, and even the transportation requirements.

02:12We also made a feeding program and distributed food packs.

02:16Thank you very much to Globe Telecom Incorporated.

02:20It's good that we have electricity. Maybe our lives will be better.

02:24For those who want to join our projects, you can deposit in our bank accounts

02:30or send to Cebuan Lawalier.

02:32You can also do it online via Gcash, Shopee, and Lazada.
