00:05 due to the effects of El Niño.
00:07 This is based on the resolution issued by Bulalacao LGU.
00:11 Several rivers have dried up and the crops have also started to split.
00:16 According to the LGU, the affected areas are the 1,000 hectares of onions, rice and other crops.
00:23 More than 1,000 farmers are in the pool.
00:26 The Department of Agriculture has already said that it will provide a solar power water irrigation system in Bulalacao.
00:33 In the whole country, the cost of El Niño's agriculture is already more than Php 860 million.
00:40 The cost is the highest in the Mimaropa and Western Visayas.
00:44 It is expected that the peak or the mature stage of El Niño will end this February
00:50 and it will start to weaken in the coming months.
00:55 Water pumps are already used by some farmers in Dinalungan, Aurora to irrigate their dried crops.
01:02 Although the water supply in the area has a rotational schedule, it is not enough for their irrigation.
01:10 It takes five to six days for their water schedule to be completed.
01:15 According to the farmers, they cannot use the water for their crops that are in the middle of the flowering stage.
01:22 Aside from the machinery, sometimes the wind is also a big help.
