00:00The local government of Cavite continues to help the fishermen affected by the oil spill.

00:07Vel Custodio is in the center of the news.

00:13From the last two weights of 6 kilos,

00:17now only 2 kilos are being carried by the fishermen in Barangay 13, Cavite City.

00:22Since the oil spill happened, we can't buy anymore.

00:27Others can buy, but it's cheap.

00:29The price is low.

00:32It's a waste of money.

00:33It's tiring.

00:34That's why he's choosing not to spread the oil anymore.

00:38Sometimes, there's an extra in the contract.

00:40Because there's a family.

00:43They're hungry. The kids are studying.

00:45That's all we know.

00:46When will we be able to spread the oil?

00:52Cavite City is just next to Novelita,

00:54one of the 8 towns in Cavite affected by the oil spill

00:58from the empty Terranova that sank in Bataan.

01:01That's why the fishermen affected by the oil spill are in Lungsod.

01:05In addition, Cavite City is marked as a state of calamity

01:10because of the large-scale fire in two barangays in Baybayin

01:13that happened only three weeks ago.

01:16It was followed by a landslide.

01:18As part of the local government's support for the fishermen in Cavite City,

01:23they distributed aid to the fishermen.

01:26In total, we have 5,231 fisherfolks affected in Cavite City alone.

01:34Of course, there are more in the entire province of Cavite.

01:37We will provide food packs, rice, cans, and canned goods

01:41for the affected families here in Lungsod.

01:47Through the TUPAD program,

01:49the affected families will be given temporary housing.

01:53We are currently helping BIFAR

01:55to monitor the people of Baybayin in Lungsod, Cavite.

01:59They will also be given food packs

02:02so that we can provide aid to our fisherfolks.
