00:00Not only was it a place of wisdom, but it also served as a stepping stone in the time of Unus,
00:10the Kapuso Classrooms that we built in Catanduanes.
00:15To encourage the students of the Church Of Christ,
00:18even though they were cut by the super typhoon Pepito,
00:22the GMA Kapuso Foundation gave an early Christmas.
00:30Not only the houses, but also many structures were destroyed
00:35by the super typhoon Pepito in Catanduanes.
00:39Some schools were also destroyed,
00:42but the Kapuso Classrooms that we built in Palta Elementary School in Virac
00:49were still standing and became a place of refuge for the residents.
00:55Imelda was the first one to signal No. 5 in their area.
01:01We were two years old and four years old.
01:06We were just here in the school.
01:08I told them that it was a new construction.
01:11It was a typhoon in the past.
01:13I told them that it was strong.
01:14That's when we planned to move.
01:18The three Kapuso Classrooms in Mabini Elementary School in Panganiban
01:25were also not affected by the typhoon Pepito.
01:29In the past, we were afraid that a typhoon would come
01:33because it might destroy everything.
01:35But when we had a GMA building,
01:39it was a big blessing for us.
01:41Our wallings are made of straw.
01:43It can withstand up to 200 kph of typhoon wind
01:52and it can withstand up to intensity 8 of typhoon.
01:57So that the students would not be afraid of the next typhoons
02:01and so that they can experience the Christmas spirit that it will give,
02:06GMA Kapuso Foundation gave a gift bags
02:11for more than 400 kindergarten to grade 6 students
02:16in Palta and Mabini Elementary School.
02:19When they found out that they would be given a gift
02:23from GMA Kapuso Foundation,
02:25they were so happy.
02:27It was as if they were overcome with fear of the next typhoon Pepito.
02:32Most of the time, it is the clothes or toys
02:35that the children want to receive as a gift every Christmas.
02:39But there was one child that we got to know.
02:42He said, Marine Sir, there is someone who is asking for a gift for Christmas.
02:46What could it be?
02:51Kylie, a freshman, was excited about the upcoming Christmas.
02:57She said that she wants something for Christmas,
03:00but not clothes, or toys, or anything.
03:04She was a bit hesitant.
03:06My wish is that the typhoon Christine will not come back
03:12because it is scary.
03:14The typhoon Christine will leave Kylie with a lot of fear.
03:19The water level rose so fast
03:23that my daughter was traumatized
03:26because the water reached her head.
03:30And when the flood came,
03:32their belongings were destroyed.
03:36It was as if my world fell apart
03:41when I saw that there was nothing left in our belongings.
03:46Kylie's family,
03:48Kylie,
03:49to our fellow countrymen who are in the midst of the upcoming typhoon,
03:54Christmas is just around the corner.
03:57May the GMA Kapuso Foundation
03:59bring smiles to the children.
04:03With the help of Cebu Pacific Air,
04:06we sent out give-a-gifts
04:08to the Batang Pinoy Christmas Bag
04:11that contains food, toys, and hygiene kits for the Marine Sir.
04:16And first, we distributed it to 2,000 students in the area,
04:20including those in the coastal area.
04:24We really prioritized Kamsor
04:27because they were really affected by the typhoon Christine.
04:31We really have to give
04:33so that the victims of the typhoon
04:36can still feel the joy of Christmas.
04:38Happy Christmas, Kapuso!
04:44Even in times of calamity,
04:46your efforts, Kapuso,
04:48are never in vain.
04:51That is why we are so thankful
04:53to everyone who worked together
04:55in the Operation Bayanihanan GMA Kapuso Foundation.
04:59Because of your trust and support,
05:02we were able to send help to more than 95,000 individuals.
05:07Thank you!
05:11From the previous 1 ton,
05:13only 2 pieces of papaya fruit
05:17were received by Toy and Kenneth
05:20in their farm in Dilasag, Aurora.
05:22The 500 trees were knocked down by the typhoon Mika.
05:26We can no longer sell the fruits
05:29because there is a lot of damage.
05:31Salome's family in Batoc, Camarines, Sur
05:34built barang-barang on the side of the road
05:37after the typhoon Christine destroyed their house.
05:41Sometimes we couldn't sleep.
05:42We thought we were going to be hit by a car.
05:45We cried a little
05:48so that we can recover.
05:50In the following typhoons in the country,
05:53the Operation Bayanihanan GMA Kapuso Foundation
05:56continued its work.
05:58In Batanes, where many houses were destroyed
06:01because of Hurricane Julian,
06:03we were able to send 9,600 people to help.
06:07When the typhoon Christine hit Batangas,
06:09Quezon Province, Bicol Region, and Cagayan Valley,
06:13we were able to send more than 40,000 people to help.
06:1727,300 people in Cagayan, Isabela, and Aurora
06:22were able to help cut down the typhoon Marce and Mika.
06:26And when the Super Typhoon Pepito hit
06:29in Catanguanes, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur,
06:32we were able to distribute relief goods
06:34to more than 14,700 individuals.
06:38It's a blessing that you came.
06:40Thank you very much to GMA.
