00:00The Department of Health recommended to local governments to implement an ordinance
00:05that prohibits bathing in the flood.
00:08This was followed by the rising cases of leptospirosis in Metro Manila,
00:12according to the LGU Alamid in the report of Joshua Garcia.
00:20Most parents approved the recommendation of the Ministry of Health
00:25to implement an ordinance that prohibits bathing in the flood.
00:32This was followed by the rising cases of leptospirosis, especially in Metro Manila.
00:36For me, it's okay because the number of cases is not increasing.
00:40The children should be scolded for what their parents said.
00:46That's right because it's dangerous. The water is very dirty, right?
00:53The Metro Manila Council will also issue a resolution to its members.
00:57Local governments are recommending to implement their own ordinance
01:02to prohibit bathing in the flood.
01:04Parents also have a responsibility.
01:07According to the Quezon City LGU,
01:09they will study the regulations, especially those related to fines.
01:13If you say it's an ordinance, there's a penalty for it.
01:17So if a person gets flooded and all his belongings are damaged,
01:20there's a penalty for it if you pay for it.
01:23It's not humane.
01:25Some parents said, don't fine them. Instead, just prohibit it.
01:30Sometimes, there's no food to buy.
01:33You'll get fined. But it should start with the parents.
01:37There's no rice to buy. You'll get fined.
01:40Don't do it. Just follow the law.
01:44According to the DOH,
01:45one of the reasons for the rise in leptospirosis
01:49is a behavioral problem or lack of public discipline.
01:53Just this past July, more than 1,400 cases of leptospirosis were reported.
01:57Of these, 162 people died.
