00:00The local government of Cebu City sent a mobile siphon tank to the mountainous barangays
00:06in order to provide the residents with water.
00:10Jesse Atienza has the details.
00:17On the road leading up to the mountainous areas of Cebu City,
00:21drums are being played on the side of the road.
00:24We are waiting.
00:26We reached Manong Cresencio.
00:28He is carrying four drums.
00:30We hope that he can fill it up with water
00:33because they are having a hard time getting supplies.
00:36We need to get water.
00:39We need to get water once a week.
00:43Sometimes, we need to get water twice a week.
00:46We need to get water as soon as possible.
00:50In a situation like this,
00:52the residents need to be discarded so that they can get water.
00:57Because it is hard for the residents to get water,
01:02the family of Father Cresencio has been discarded from their bath.
01:07They are using this bucket
01:10and they will place it here.
01:13They will get water and pour it.
01:15The collected water will be transferred to this bucket
01:20and they will use it to clean their bathroom.
01:25Some of the residents only bathe once a week.
01:32John Michael would be able to do it
01:34if he doesn't have to bathe everyday.
01:36But because of the heat,
01:38he has to bathe twice a day.
01:41It's hot.
01:43It's hot.
01:44It's hot.
01:47A while ago, the LGU of Cebu City sent a mobile siphon tank
01:52to the barangay in Balubunduk
01:54that will draw water from the river
01:56and distribute it to the affected residents.
01:59We've been helping.
02:01I've been to Bonbon and I've seen the mobile siphon tank.
02:07I was there.
02:08And I thank MCWD and the JICA for the Japanese technology.
02:13It's a Japanese technology.
02:15For now, this is what the residents here will endure
02:19while the heat continues.
02:22That's why everyone is trying to save water
02:25while El Nino is still here.
