00:00 floating market in Thailand.
00:02 In Bulacan, there is a floating pantry.
00:06 Let's hear the story behind this story
00:08 with Noel Talacan.
00:10 Until the flood,
00:14 this is what the residents of
00:16 a subdivision in Barangay Longos,
00:18 Malolos, Bulacan,
00:20 experienced last week
00:22 due to the heavy rain
00:24 due to bad weather.
00:26 Ms. Alona said
00:28 this is the highest flood
00:30 she has experienced
00:32 in their area
00:34 in the past 20 years.
00:36 It's very hard for us
00:38 to get water
00:40 from here in
00:42 Baywang to Dibdib
00:44 because our equipment
00:46 is flooded
00:48 for the first time.
00:50 The flood has been here
00:52 for a week already
00:54 so the residents here
00:56 can't drive
00:58 and return to their
01:00 normal lives.
01:02 Yes, the flood
01:04 has been here for 3-4 weeks already.
01:06 It subsided
01:08 because of the
01:10 help of the officers
01:12 and those who
01:14 donated diesel
01:16 for pumping water.
01:18 The flood water
01:20 has already reached
01:22 this subdivision
01:24 in Barangay Longos, Malolos,
01:26 Bulacan but it's still visible
01:28 on the flood map
01:30 how high the water level
01:32 has reached here to Dibdib.
01:34 The reason is to trap
01:36 the residents inside
01:38 their houses and to prevent them
01:40 from going out to buy food.
01:42 The first thing
01:44 we are thinking about is
01:46 food.
01:48 Food, because
01:50 if you go out to Baywang
01:52 or Dibdib, how will you go out
01:54 to survive?
01:56 That's why
01:58 a floating community pantry
02:00 was built in Barangay Longos
02:02 where a boat was used
02:04 to ration food.
02:06 This moment of time,
02:08 we were thinking how we can reach
02:10 the people who can't go out
02:12 to their houses because the main
02:14 cause of the problem is not the pandemic
02:16 which is the flood. That's why we
02:18 thought of a project
02:20 where we rent a boat,
02:22 we ride the goods,
02:24 we go around the village
02:26 where the flood reaches Dibdib
02:28 so that we can at least reach out to the people.
02:30 Even the few animals
02:32 that were trapped in the flood
02:34 were given food
02:36 aside from the
02:38 food and rice,
02:40 the floating community pantry also has
02:42 condiments, sugar, ketchup
02:44 and many more.
02:46 According to Miel, they used the
02:48 food from their village
02:50 and when the youths were able to eat,
02:52 their goal became a success.
02:54 Our main vision and goal
02:56 is to help and to reach
02:58 out to the people
03:00 who don't have a job
03:02 or can't go out
03:04 because of the flood.
03:06 Noel Talacay for the people.
03:08 Sabayan.
