00:00What is this?
00:02We were mapping earlier, ma'am.
00:04Oh, you were mapping.
00:06This is the path of the swapping of the land.
00:08Oh, to make sure that everyone will be hit.
00:10Yes, to make sure that everyone will be hit.
00:12It's like this.
00:14Sure, ma'am.
00:16Then, we will follow it?
00:18Yes, ma'am. It's fully automated. You just need to hold the cellphone.
00:20Oh, just the cellphone?
00:22Yes, ma'am.
00:24Oh, sure. Really?
00:26But can this also take a video?
00:28Yes, ma'am. Everything is already set up, ma'am.
00:30You just need to fly it.
00:32Oh, just like that?
00:34Okay, sure.
00:36What is that?
00:38You just need to check that there are no people nearby.
00:40Oh, there are no people nearby.
00:42You just need to swipe.
00:44Wow. Wait a minute. Here it is. It's going to fly.
00:48Oh, that's great.
00:50It's already walking.
00:52It's like a cat.
00:58It's like a cat.
01:10It's cold.
01:12It's cold.
01:14It's cold.
01:16Our drone operator,
01:18he's already on his cellphone.
01:20Oh, no. I think he's just texting.
01:24It's like it's already automated.
01:26You're not controlling it anymore?
01:28It's already going home, ma'am.
01:30Oh, it's already going home?
01:32Of course, I thought you were just staring at your cellphone.
01:34It's already going home.
01:36You're just doing a TikTok.
01:38Oh, it's already going home?
01:40He said?
01:42He texted that the drone is already going home.
01:44Oh, it stopped.
01:46The pesticide is already gone.
01:48Just kidding.
01:52One of the benefits of the agricultural drone
01:54is that Joe is already 40 years old.
01:56We went to a field race
01:58in Munoz.
02:00There's something like that there.
02:02Actually,
02:04they're showing
02:06all the varieties of rice.
02:08It's like he's tutoring you.
02:10He has a company
02:12that samples the drone.
02:14With drone technology,
02:16your time will be lessened.
02:18Then,
02:20when you kill an animal,
02:22you'll really see
02:24that it fell.
02:26For him,
02:28using an agricultural drone
02:30saves a lot of time and money.
02:32It's a new way of farming
02:34that I hope farmers in the Philippines
02:36will get to know.
02:38We're already a bit late
02:40when it comes to advanced technology.
02:42We really need to adapt.
02:44In order to speed up the work,
02:46the labor cost
02:48will be less.
02:50The only thing
02:52that's expensive
02:54are the pesticides.
02:56Maybe we need to reduce that.
02:58Each hectare
03:00of rice cultivation
03:02with the agricultural drone
03:04is worth Php 1,800
03:06while the price of
03:08each hectare of
03:10pesticide cultivation
03:12is Php 750.
03:14It's cheaper than
03:16manually planting rice
03:18The goal really is
03:20to reduce the cost.
03:22That's the immediate one.
03:24Of course,
03:26you'll hear that
03:28we want cheap rice.
03:30The only way to translate that
03:32is to reduce the cost
03:34from the start.
03:36The other thing
03:38is to optimize the resources.
03:40Again, which is related to the cost.
03:42If we minimize the cost
03:44of the farm,
03:46the trend in the world
03:48is to reduce
03:50the use of
03:52synthetic fertilizers,
03:54pesticides.
04:16you
