00:00 El Niño could be dangerous and the effects will be more severe in the country, according to the experts.

00:06 Mark Salazar was there.

00:08 There are indications that El Niño will be more severe and more widespread.

00:16 Not only the reduction of rainwater, but also the high temperature for next dry season.

00:22 That's what we should prepare for.

00:26 That's the critical. It's hot and there's no rain yet.

00:29 17 government agencies, led by the Office of Civil Defense,

00:34 will form the National El Niño Team to prepare the El Niño flood.

00:39 When it comes to water, allocation for hydropower plants is being reduced.

00:45 But the DOE said there are no brownouts and the rate of electricity will not increase because of El Niño.

00:52 The good news is, based on the projections of the Department of Energy, we don't expect any brownouts during the El Niño.

01:04 In our pie chart, coal, geothermal and other fuels are there.

01:12 So, our rule of thumb is, when it comes to renewable energy, fuel is zero.

01:19 When it comes to water, allocation for agriculture will be reduced compared to water for households.

01:25 But the DOE said they see a small effect of drought on rice.

01:31 For rice, we're seeing something like 2 to 5 percent impact on production.

01:37 But that's quite small compared to the previous El Niño phenomena where production declined anywhere from 10 to 20 percent.

01:52 In the supply of vegetables, the Department of Agriculture is seeing a possible price increase.

01:58 There are other sources of vegetables. Let's not forget that malunggay is always there.

02:04 It's always there. Not just the vegetables that are harvested.

02:09 Because when it comes to the later part of the year, there are thinner supplies.

02:14 Earlier at 2 p.m., the water level in Angat Dam was at 180.96 meters.

02:21 It's a little higher than its minimum operating level of 180 meters.

02:26 It's enough to hold the water interruption in Metro Manila, but this level is not comfortable.

02:34 There are 8 to 11 tropical cyclones that are expected to enter before the end of the year.

02:41 But let's not pray for it because the character of the storm in the middle of El Niño is different.

02:47 October, November, December, these are the landfalling, crossing tropical cyclone.

02:52 So if that's what's crossing us, it will be a severe storm.

02:57 If it's not raining, the wind is strong.

03:00 And usually when there's El Niño, the track of our storm is very erratic.

03:05 So it's very challenging for us to predict.

03:08 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, 24 hours.
