00:00Classes in schools in the province of Batangas are still going on despite the effects of the typhoon Karina and Habagat.
00:06Benji Durango has a report.
00:12The road leading to the river in Barangay Nangkaan, Mataas, Takahoy, Batangas is steep.
00:17This is one of the landslide prone areas of the province.
00:20In fact, in the past Habagat, two landslides fell on this narrow river from above.
00:26The water level rose and the houses were flooded.
00:29The 72-year-old father, Calixto, is just about to return home from the evacuation center.
00:34He is with the 21 families evacuated from here last week.
00:39Like me, my wife is sick and I always visit her.
00:45Before we got married, it was always raining.
00:49This is where Calixto's father was born.
00:52His parents were also born and grew up here.
00:54But it looks like they won't stay here for long, based on the government's advice.
00:59During this time of the flood, there are a lot of landslides.
01:05That's why we have a lot of problems.
01:11According to the locals, this canal here,
01:15before Habagat last week,
01:19this canal was deep. It was as deep as a human body.
01:23To reach this river, you have to stretch your arms.
01:28But now, look, you have to stretch your arms to reach the river.
01:32So this canal became silted.
01:35The so-called reason for the siltation of this canal
01:39is the river that flows upstream.
01:43This river is one of the government's projects
01:47that will connect the Circumferential Road to the Batangas Basin.
01:51It looks like it will take a long time to finish,
01:54but the people on the other side of the river have already sandbagged
01:56to be able to escape the upcoming typhoon.
01:58I'm afraid that this will happen at night.
02:02People might die.
02:04But despite the flood and landslides in Batangas,
02:07the children did not go to school.
02:09Batangas is not included in the list of the Department of Education Region 4A Calabarzon
02:14that did not go to school.
02:15But the class was canceled in two schools in Cavite Province
02:19because of the fire.
02:2115 schools in Cahinta,
02:2321 schools in San Mateo,
02:253 schools in Tanay,
02:27and all level public or private schools in Montalban, Rizal.
02:31This is the end of a bad time
02:33and the destruction of some schools in the aforementioned provinces.
