00:00The public schools will open again in a few weeks. That's why some schools are preparing.
00:07As part of the preparations, it is expected that it will rain and flood.
00:12In Navotas, a school built its own pumping station because they don't want it to be flooded again.
00:19First news, Marisol Abduraman.
00:23The sky is clear and sunny, but it is flooded in this part of Dampalit, Malabon.
00:30The Malabon-Navotas River Floodgate is still broken.
00:33It should have been blocked by high tide water.
00:36But what if it's raining and the children are going to school at the same time?
00:41The employees of Dampalit Integrated School are already used to the flood.
00:45They are always up to date with the news and announcements of the LGU.
00:49We also noticed that the LGU announcement is early.
00:56So that the children and parents can be informed as soon as possible.
01:03That's why Malabon City is already busy preparing for the rain and the opening of classes.
01:10City Hall will make an effort for the early suspension of classes if necessary.
01:14We have new flood sensors under the bridges, in the waterways.
01:21We already have announcements in the morning before 4am.
01:26We can't let the children in before we have the monitors around.
01:33Even though Navotas Elementary School is already flooded.
01:37Sometimes, they experienced heavy floods.
01:41That's why the school already made their own pumping station.
01:45The only moment that it will open is when it's really flooded.
01:49Then they will take a bath.
01:51Or before it rains, they will open it.
01:57So the water that will be taken a bath will go through this pipe, right?
02:01Yes.
02:02So this is it.
02:03This is what we can see coming out of here.
02:05Sir, where will it be thrown?
02:08Where will it go?
02:09It will be thrown to the sea and to the river.
02:12The school also assured that their classrooms will be fine.
02:16All of our buildings are almost new.
02:19So they don't have pipes.
02:22It's hard to get in.
02:24Aside from the pumping station, another remedy that the school did against floods
02:28is they elevated this part of the school.
02:31So if you notice, it's higher than the ground.
02:34So if you flood the school, the kids will go straight to their classrooms.
02:41This is the first news.
