00:00More than Php 160 million was spent on agriculture in Occidental Mindoro following the disaster of Hurricane Christine.
00:07And now, the rainy season is expected again due to Hurricane Leon.
00:11And we have live on the spot, MAV Gonzalez.
00:19Rafi, a lot of farmers lost their crops here in Occidental Mindoro due to Hurricane Christine.
00:25And now, it's raining heavily again due to Hurricane Leon.
00:31We were able to reach a few farmers who are planting rice, which they will be able to save in the town of Santa Cruz, Occidental Mindoro.
00:39Last October 20, they were supposed to plant rice, but Hurricane Christine hit, that's why they were only able to start now.
00:45The rice cannot be watered, that's why from that day on, the farmers continued to work.
00:51According to one farmer we talked to, if that day, they were able to plant 300 cabanas,
00:57now, they are only able to plant 50 cabanas.
00:59The loss is really big.
01:01According to another farmer, this is what happens to them every year.
01:05That's why they are too lazy to plant, but they have nothing else to do.
01:10According to the PDRMO of Occidental Mindoro, Php 165 million was spent on agriculture here in the province.
01:18Rafi, for now, there is no tropical cyclone wind signal here in Occidental Mindoro.
01:23But from the outlook, it is expected that there will be heavy to intense rainfall here today.
01:29And tomorrow, it will be moderate to heavy rainfall.
01:32As you can see, it is raining heavily here, but just a while ago, the sun was a bit torrential.
01:38That's why the farmers who are planting rice, if the rain is too heavy, they will stop first.
01:44That's why they cannot finish what they are doing.
01:46Rafi?
01:47Thank you very much.
01:48Ma'am Gonzalez.
