00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:10In the area of Pinsana of Oil Spill in Manila Bay,
00:13it is said that the images taken from the space are a big help in the cleanup operation that is currently underway.
00:18How big of a help are these satellite images?
00:25According to the latest report of the International Advocacy Organization of Oceana,
00:29it is estimated that half of the area of Manila Bay is affected by the oil spill.
00:33According to the latest report of the International Advocacy Organization of Oceana,
00:36it is estimated that half of the area of Manila Bay is affected by the oil spill.
00:39And it is a big help in the area of Pinsana of Oil Spill in Manila Bay,
00:43as well as the actions of the Philippine Coast Guard, DNR, and DALG
00:46to control and clean up the spilled oil.
00:49These images were taken from the space released by the Philippine Space Agency.
00:53Satellite images.
00:55Kuya Kim, how are the images taken by our satellites from space?
01:00And how does this help us?
01:02Kuya Kim, what now?
01:03Satellite imagery or satellite images are pictures of our planet taken by satellites from space.
01:09There are sensors in the satellites that can detect visible light,
01:12infrared light, microwave radiation, and more
01:15to create high-resolution images.
01:17Our satellite images are the products of a technology
01:22that we call remote sensing.
01:24You get information from a distance.
01:27And the cameras we use in space
01:29are the different satellites orbiting our planet.
01:32These satellite images are very important,
01:34especially since they can be used on a daily basis,
01:37such as forecasting the weather, agriculture,
01:40and responding to accidents,
01:42just like what is happening in the cleanup operation in Manila Bay.
01:45The maps that we make are given to various agencies,
01:51in particular the Philippine Coast Guard,
01:53so that what they do on the ground
01:55can supplement the data we get from the satellites.
01:59We also give it to the UP Marine Science Institute.
02:02They make models or forecasts
02:05of where the oil can go
02:07using the data they get from us.
02:10Satellite images are used
02:13to speed up the cleanup of oil in Manila Bay.
02:17Now, to get satellite data,
02:19we depend on Gawang Pinoy Diwata 2,
02:21NovaSAR 1,
02:22and satellite or space agencies from other countries.
02:25But did you know that our engineers at the Philippine Space Agency
02:28are now working with the United Kingdom
02:31to build the largest satellite of Gawang Pinoy.
02:42This is what a multispectral unit for land assessment looks like
02:47or MULA Satellite,
02:49the largest satellite of Gawang Pinoy.
02:51This is an observation satellite
02:53that can make better images faster.
02:56This is a big help in monitoring crops,
02:59protecting our national security,
03:02and responding to accidents.
03:04The target launch of MULA is in the first quarter of 2026.
03:08Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,
03:11tweet or just comment,
03:14Always remember,
03:15the important thing to know,
03:17I am Kuya Kim,
03:18and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
