00:00 We are now in Antipolo and we are happy to be part of the colorful and joyful celebration of the Maytime Festival.
00:07 Live from MAV Gonzales.
00:10 MAV
00:12 Vicky, the Antipolo Maytime Festival officially started.
00:18 There are a lot of people here to celebrate the culture and products of Antipolo.
00:29 From Sumulong Park to Inares Center, the streets are filled with colorful costumes and loud music of the street dance competition.
00:36 This is the official start of the Antipolo Maytime Festival 2024.
00:40 Maytime Festival is the formal opening of the pilgrimage season.
00:44 We are the first in Southeast Asia, an international shrine, and we are the sixth in the world.
00:51 Sharing our culture, our traditions, we celebrate it among ourselves here in Antipolo by widespread street dancing competition
01:04 where all the barangays and schools are participating.
01:09 It started at the Sumaca Festival, or celebration of the popular products of Antipolo, which are suman, mango, and cassoy.
01:16 But now, the culture and talents of Antipolo are also part of the celebration.
01:22 It started with the great dancing and the costumes of the participants are beautiful today.
01:26 Some streets are closed for street dance and parade.
01:29 The participants are waiting for the right time to watch the year of celebration.
01:36 After the street dancing, there is a final salvo of 10 students who fought.
01:41 It's really rare because the prize is worth 100,000 pesos.
01:45 The 10 festival queens were also awarded.
01:48 It just started with the whole month of celebration in Antipolo.
01:51 We will have a bodybuilding competition, ginuman festival, hair and makeup competition,
02:03 we also have fun rides of cyclists.
02:09 This is a jam-packed month for us.
02:14 Vicky, you can still catch up here in the Inara Center because the program is still long.
02:21 The presentation of the costumes of the Queen of Antipolo candidates is ongoing.
02:24 And later, the final showdown of our street dancers. Vicky?
02:28 Thank you very much, Ma'am Gonzales.
02:30 In the middle of the heat, the famous agua de mayo, or the first rain of Mayo, poured in some places.
02:38 But before that, many people are discarding their belongings to avoid the heat.
02:42 Charotanandal is on the scene.
02:44 Oops, that's not rain.
02:50 That's the rain of the water tanker of Manila City Hall that flooded the streets earlier in Spain, Quiapo, and Binondo.
02:58 To reduce the heat, some cars are slowing down to get wet.
03:03 It's fresh, it's not too hot.
03:06 If it's too hot, it's like twice as tiring.
03:11 But some motorists were literally wet.
03:14 It's okay.
03:16 So that it won't be hot anymore.
03:18 But the wet road, in less than an hour, dried up.
03:24 It's effective because it's easy when the heat is gone.
03:28 It's like it's getting colder. I hope they do this every day when it's hot.
03:32 It's beneficial because it's so hot right now.
03:35 This was the first time the local government did this because according to their forecast, the heat index will reach 45 degrees Celsius today.
03:44 As long as our index rises, we will do this every day.
03:48 It's not solid, it's like we're in the shower. It's just like a misting effect.
03:54 But the task force said that they will still save water.
03:57 We appreciate the efforts of the LGUs but the next four weeks are critical in terms of water conservation.
04:06 Even though the water supply in Angat Dam and Metro Manila is sufficient,
04:11 we still need to save until the effect of El Nino does not disappear.
04:18 If the water we will use is the wastewater or the one used for cleaning or for washing,
04:24 there is no problem if this is the one to be sprayed on the roads.
04:28 We don't have recycled water here.
04:32 There is still some in Malayo, according to the MMDA, in Marikina.
04:36 We are doing prevention because our heat stroke patients and motorists are getting less.
04:45 In Del Pan, Manila, on the road where some are taking a bath,
04:48 they are using the seemingly unlimited water that came from the pipe under the drainage.
04:53 That's why Maileen is taking a bath here from morning to night because they don't have a bathroom.
04:58 How many times do you take a bath?
05:00 Eight times.
05:02 Eight times in one day?
05:03 Why so many?
05:04 It's too hot.
05:05 Animoy has a resort in Binondo because of the inflatable pool here.
05:10 Beat the heat, they say.
05:11 Now, there's a cruel summer.
05:13 It's too hot.
05:14 That's why I saved money to buy this.
05:18 It's too hot.
05:19 We can't stay inside.
05:21 Inside the house?
05:22 Yes.
05:22 Because even if you have an electric fan, you can't handle it.
05:26 In Tondo,
05:27 the people who don't have an inflatable pool are content with a bathtub and a refrigerator that don't have a drain.
05:37 It's bad because it's fresh.
05:38 It's a good thing.
05:38 It's annoying if it's not bathed.
05:40 Our swimming was postponed because I don't have a budget.
05:43 This is cheap.
05:44 How much?
05:45 It's only P1,000 and it's just water.
05:47 In Valenzuela, mobile showers were deployed for free and fresh baths.
05:52 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Katutok, 24 Hours.
05:57 We are united in supporting our workers this May 1.
06:07 As a thank you, especially to those who have been on the streets all day,
06:12 they are the surprise of the GMA Kapusu Foundation.
06:17 In the middle of the hot sun, Eduardo is moving furniture.
06:23 He's not tired and hot, he can only feed his family.
06:29 He earns P300 for each piece of furniture that he sells.
06:35 Sometimes, I get a bit tired.
06:37 We work day in and day out.
06:40 Rochelle, from Bulacan, goes to Malabon to help.
06:46 She's helping to raise the fish that will be sold in Quezon City.
06:49 We leave at 12 at night.
06:53 Sometimes, when we don't have any fish, we just go home to Bulacan.
06:58 On the streets of Barangka in Marikina, Estong sells water.
07:04 From 4 in the morning until 6 at night.
07:08 Sometimes, it's too hot.
07:10 The market is too strong.
07:11 That's why Labor Day is celebrated by GMA Kapusu Foundation.
07:16 It's the dedication and sacrifice of several Filipino workers
07:20 who are working day in and day out on the streets.
07:25 Despite the hot weather,
07:27 we give out grocery packs and hygiene kits to street vendors,
07:33 drivers, security guards, construction workers, and truck drivers.
07:38 We also give them survival kits in the heat.
07:42 We give them hats, bimpos, clothes, biscuits, and water.
07:47 To our women, you need to be careful.
07:49 For example, if you're a vendor, traffic enforcers, or a driver,
07:55 you should have a survival kit.
07:56 It has water, a umbrella, and a hat.
08:01 Thank you very much, GMA Kapusu Foundation.
08:05 For those who want to be a part of our projects,
08:08 you can deposit in our bank accounts or send to Cebuana Lurulier.
08:14 You can also do it online via GCash, Shopee, and Lazada.
08:18 Meanwhile, aerial resupply or the delivery of supplies by aircraft
08:25 is what was discussed earlier in Balikatan,
08:27 which is an alternative if the resupply mission is blocked by the sea.
08:31 This was brought to you live by Ian Cruz.
08:34 Ian.
08:38 Yes, Vicky, the AFP's aerial resupply mission was successful
08:42 in the Balikatan exercise.
08:43 We hope that this will help,
08:45 especially since the deployment to the West Philippine Sea is becoming complicated
08:50 due to the continuous aggressiveness of Chinese ships there.
08:54 The NC212i, a light-lift aircraft of the Philippine Air Force,
09:04 and the drop of supplies in the parachute towards Batag Island
09:08 was carried out by the Calayan Island Group in the West Philippine Sea.
09:12 This aerial resupply was successful by the AFP,
09:14 which is one of their alternatives
09:17 to the difficult rotation and resupply mission in the West Philippine Sea
09:21 due to the continuous aggression of China
09:23 that is anchored in almost the entire South China Sea.
09:26 This was done alongside the group sail activity of the Philippines,
09:29 America and France as part of the multilateral maritime exercise of Balikatan.
09:34 The MC-130 aircraft of the US Air Force Special Operation Command
09:39 passed in front of Long Beach, San Vicente.
09:42 The Filipinos were one by one on the Long Beach for the trooper.
09:47 The modern equipment of America was also seen in the Northern Palawan,
09:57 like the HIMARS or High Mobile Artillery Rocket System
10:01 that is effective in using in a distant target.
10:04 The HIMARS live-fire exercise was expected
10:07 alongside the Rizal in the Southern Palawan
10:09 that if viewed from the map is almost in front of Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.
10:14 Earlier, members of the US Marines and Philippine Navy 3rd Naval Combat Engineering Battalion
10:20 were on the construction of the health center in Sitio Calupisa of Barangay Puntabaha
10:25 here in Rizal that is included in the Engineering Civic Action Projects or NCAP
10:30 still under Balikatan.
10:32 The American soldiers brought a lot of tools
10:35 for the construction of a health facility in a remote area here in Rizal, Palawan.
10:40 But what they are longing for are the good Filipino soldiers
10:44 that even without the tools,
10:47 they can discard the construction here in the construction site.
10:51 Our Filipino counterparts, they are extremely good at what they do
10:55 and they've been teaching us a lot of techniques.
10:57 The way that they do steel work,
10:59 they do a lot of stuff by hand
11:01 more quickly and more accurately than we would normally do with power tools.
11:05 One of the major challenges of the Americans in construction
11:09 is the high temperature in the country.
11:11 The residents of Sitio were hoping that the health center will be blessed
11:15 along with the relatives that do not need to go down to the town to get medicine.
11:19 The benefit of this is 200 households, 90% of them are from the IPs.
11:26 It's really hard because if there's no vehicle, we just walk down.
11:29 Balikatan is also a chance for Filipino-American soldiers
11:33 to return to their Filipino heritage.
11:36 Like 2nd Lieutenant James Estilore,
11:38 who grew up in La Union and Cebu with his grandparents.
11:41 I'm very fortunate, I'm very grateful
11:44 that serving in the United States Marine Corps has brought me back here.
11:48 You know, service is part of the reason why my family got here in the first place.
11:54 [Video playing]
11:58 Vicky, tomorrow is the day of the live fire exercise
12:01 in the continuation of the Balikatan exercise here in Rizal, Palawan.
12:04 It's one of the places that will be firing the modern artillery of America.
12:09 Back to you, Vicky.
12:10 Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
12:13 [Music]
12:17 My fellow countrymen, be prepared because even if it's hot, there's still a chance of rain.
12:21 Just like what happened in the first part of May in some parts of the country.
12:26 Just this morning, some parts of Calbayog City in the province of Samar got rained.
12:30 The rain lasted for 20 minutes and the weather continued to get worse.
12:35 In Metro Manila, after the almost hot summer,
12:38 the heavy rain also hit some parts, like here in Quezon City.
12:42 It was followed by localized thunderstorms.
12:45 Earlier, the temperature was 48 degrees Celsius in the north of Camarines Sur and Katarman, northern Samar.
12:49 Then 46 degrees Celsius in Dagupan, Pangasinan and Bacnotan, La Union.
12:54 Tomorrow, it's possible that in the south of Camarines Sur,
12:57 it will be the hottest again at 48 degrees Celsius,
12:59 47 degrees Celsius in Dagupan, Pangasinan,
13:02 46 degrees Celsius in Tacloban City,
13:05 and 45 degrees Celsius in Lawag City, Ilocos Norte.
13:09 Aside from that, more than 30 places are expected to be in danger level.
13:13 The heat index tomorrow is expected to be 42 to 44 degrees Celsius.
13:18 [Music]
13:29 But no matter how hot the weather is, based on the data of Metro Weather,
13:32 there is still a chance of rain in Ilocos Provinces, Palawan, Sulu Archipelago,
13:36 and Sucsargen, especially in the afternoon.
13:38 In Metro Manila, it's still a bit of a mystery, but advisories will monitor
13:42 because localized thunderstorms are possible,
13:45 like what we experienced earlier. And even if we expect that the heat will not be high this month,
13:50 it's possible that there will be a complete or a storm that will enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
13:55 One or two storms, depending on the weather.
13:57 If it continues, it can recur or sweep away from the country,
14:01 or it can hit or landfall in the Eastern Visayas,
14:05 or also hit the Southern Luzon.
14:08 [Music]
