00:00 In the situation of persons deprived of liberty in the middle of the hot weather,

00:05 they are also being monitored.

00:07 The water supply for PDLs is sufficient.

00:10 Buker Chief Gregorio Katapang is questioning Luisa Erispe in the center of the news.

00:16 You can see it, the heat is still very hot.

00:22 This is the situation now in the prisons in the country.

00:26 That is why the Bureau of Corrections is worried that

00:30 not only exhaustion or heat stroke can be obtained by persons deprived of liberty,

00:35 dehydration or lack of water is also possible.

00:39 That is why Buker is ensuring that there is sufficient water supply for PDLs.

00:45 They need to drink water.

00:47 They are being forced to drink water every day.

00:57 They are being forced to drink water.

00:59 They can bring diseases here in the prison.

01:04 We are very strict on controlling stray dogs and cats.

01:10 The water supply for PDLs will be doubled.

01:13 The cleaning of cells and check-ups for PDLs will be done every day.

01:18 Aside from dehydration, heat stroke and heat exhaustion,

01:21 some of the diseases that are being monitored are sunburn, flu,

01:26 skin disease, rabies and sore eyes.

01:30 That is why there will be vaccination for flu in PDLs.

01:35 They are not allowed to go from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They have to drink 12 glasses of water.

01:45 As regards to flu symptoms, we are asking nurses to go around.

01:53 If they see someone coughing or having a cold,

01:58 they will check if there is a flu or not so they will not get sick.

02:04 For now, there are no such cases in PDLs in Bucor.

02:08 But the government assured that they will monitor every facility in the country.

02:13 Meanwhile, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology in NCR

02:18 has already helped the Department of Health and some non-government organizations

02:22 to ensure that there is a cleanliness in PDLs that are sick due to heat.

02:28 We are also consulting with the DOH and other non-government organizations

02:35 like the Philippine Dermatological Society.

02:38 We are now working with them to treat those kinds of diseases.
