00:00Aside from the school being flooded, it's also a problem that the students are the ones who lost their school supplies.
00:06We have first news from Oscar Oida.
00:10The Potrero Elementary School in Malabon is back to school,
00:14but it was hit by a storm and a typhoon.
00:19Although the school was not flooded, this evacuation center was used by more than 700 individuals.
00:26They are the families whose houses were washed out.
00:30That's why they were not able to come back even though there was no flood in Barangay Potrero.
00:36Some families are still living there, but they will be transferred to the evacuation center in Tanyong, Malabon.
00:42This is a double time for cleaning the school,
00:44as well as the people of MMDA, BFP, teachers, and parents.
00:50It's an extra challenge for some teachers whose houses were also flooded.
00:54It's hard because you're thinking of two things at the same time,
00:58and you're also the grade leader of the school.
01:01It's hard to decide what to do first.
01:04There's still no class here in Dampalit Elementary School 1.
01:08The entrance to their school is still flooded.
01:11The classrooms were also flooded, but the teachers cleaned it up.
01:16They are the fire volunteers in the area that carried out the flushing operation.
01:22The situation in Guillermo Sanchez Memorial Elementary School is worse.
01:27Their school was flooded up to the second floor.
01:31The walls, seats, and other equipment in the school are still white.
01:37GMA Integrated News reported that firefighters are flushing the walls of the school.
01:43This is really important for us to get ready for August 5.
01:50We were able to carry the modules that they will be using for this school year.
01:55What's even worse is the situation of the students who live around the school.
02:02Like JC, who was flooded from her notebook to her uniform.
02:07It's all washed out.
02:09We don't know how we're going to start.
02:13We're all seniors living here.
02:17I also have a grandchild.
02:20We also plan to solicit from the donors for equipment for the children
02:26because they are also affected.
02:28They are just here around the school.
02:31And it's low.
02:32It's definitely flooded.
02:34Despite the effects of the storm and flood,
02:37the teachers here in Malabon are confident
02:40that they will be able to open the class next Monday, August 5.
02:45This is the latest news.
