00:00Meanwhile, despite the effects of the calamity and bad weather,

00:04the class is still going on in the schools in Batangas.

00:08This is the story of Benji Durango.

00:12The road leading to the river in Barangay Nangkaan, Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas is steep.

00:17This is one of the landslide prone areas of the province.

00:19In fact, in the last flood,

00:21the soil from the upper part of the river rose two times.

00:26The water level rose and the houses were flooded.

00:28Father Calixto is 72 years old.

00:31He is just about to return home from the evacuation center.

00:34He is with the 21 families that were evacuated from here last week.

00:38Like me, my wife is sick and I always visit her.

00:44Even before we got married, it was raining non-stop.

00:49Father Calixto was born here.

00:51His parents were also born and grew up here.

00:54But it looks like they won't stay here for long

00:56because of the government's order.

00:59During this time of the flood,

01:02there were a lot of landslides.

01:05That's why we had a lot of problems.

01:11The people here told me that

01:13this canal here,

01:15before it was flooded last week,

01:19it was deep.

01:20It was full of people.

01:21This canal was very deep.

01:23In order to reach this river,

01:25you need to stretch your hands.

01:27But now, look,

01:28you need to stretch your hands

01:30so you can reach the river.

01:32So this canal was silted.

01:34The reason for the siltation of this canal

01:38is the river that flows up there.

01:43This river is one of the government's projects

01:46that will connect the Circumferential Road

01:48to Puenca Batangas.

01:50It looks like it will take a long time to finish

01:52so the people on the other side of the river

01:55can be saved from another flood.

01:58It's scary.

01:59This is what will happen

02:01if this happens at night.

02:02People might die.

02:03But despite the flood and landslides in Batangas,

02:06the children were not affected.

02:09Batangas was not included

02:10in the list of the Department of Education

02:12Region 4A, Calabarzon,

02:14that did not enter.

02:15But the classes were canceled

02:16in two schools in Cavite province

02:18because of the fire.

02:20There were also no entries today

02:21in several villages in Rizal province.

02:23There were 15 classes in Cainta,

02:2521 classes in San Mateo,

02:273 classes in Tanay,

02:29and all levels of public or private schools

02:31in Montalban, Rizal.

02:33This was the end of a bad time

02:35and the destruction of several schools

02:37in the aforementioned provinces.

02:39From here in Lipa City, Batangas,

02:41Benji Durango,

02:42for Pambansang TV,

02:43in Bagong, Philippines.
