Sa gitna ng lumalalang krisis sa climate change, tila nahuhuli ang Deaf community pagdating sa impormasyon tungkol sa mga kalamidad gaya ng bagyo at baha.
Para masolusyonan ito, layon ng Project Signd na mas maintindihan at mas maging handa ang Deaf community laban sa banta ng climate change.

00:00There are a lot of things that even if we don't see, we will know because of the pandemic.
00:16The noise of the road.
00:21There are a lot of things that we need to see.
00:24There are a lot of things that the deaf community needs to be aware of.
00:37In times of crisis and climate change, a group has set new milestones for them.
00:55We are here.
01:08I am Jerome.
01:10Eric.
01:12Alad.
01:13This is my signing.
01:16I just want to emphasize the Ondoy.
01:18I will never forget it.
01:20I was so panicked back then, not like before.
01:24Because there was so much damage.
01:30The typhoon hit a large part of Luzon.
01:34In just 6 hours, it caused a month's worth of rain.
01:41The reason?
01:42Several areas in Metro Manila were flooded.
01:47It is considered one of the most frequent typhoons in the country.
01:54The typhoon hit Luzon twice.
02:01It started when I went to the QC.
02:03I was sleeping because I was going to repair a laptop for my friend.
02:07After that, his parents said,
02:09Don't go home because the typhoon is too strong.
02:14We didn't know what would happen.
02:16Because it's Ondoy.
02:17So after that morning, I came back here to Marikina.
02:22I tried to walk back to the bridge.
02:26Then I saw that there was so much damage.
02:30The car collided.
02:32So many people died.
02:34I was so scared.
02:36I was worried about my family after that.
02:40I texted my family.
02:42No one replied.
02:43They didn't reply.
02:45None at all.
02:46None at all.
02:47I was worried about my family.
02:49If they were still safe or not.
02:51Because no one replied.
02:53I had so many texts.
02:55That's why I went to them quickly.
02:59When Ondoy was flooded,
03:02These were its markings.
03:03Same with Ulysses.
03:05The water was up to here.
03:09So when Ondoy was really flooded,
03:11It was so high.
03:14If we sleep here,
03:16We won't be safe.
03:19But thanks to my uncle,
03:21Because we're safe.
03:22We moved to a new house.
03:38They only use it for announcement,
03:40But I can't hear it.
03:42My friend will text me.
03:44So we'll exchange their messages.
03:47If they're ready for emergency.
03:52Before, in Ondoy,
03:54You won't see anything like that.
03:57Even on Facebook,
03:58There's nothing.
04:00When Christine,
04:01This was 2014-2018,
04:03They thought there was a platform
04:05For people to get ready.
04:13Ulysses was the 21st typhoon in 2020.
04:17It also flooded thousands of houses.
04:21Millions of Filipinos were affected.
04:43Before my parents were informed,
04:46I was preparing.
04:48Because Ulysses was coming,
04:50It might flood again.
04:52People were panicking,
04:54Because it was so high.
04:55So my dad got ready,
04:57And so did my uncle.
05:13There was a typhoon.
05:15Her name was Mika.
05:22Mika.
05:24After two days,
05:26Another typhoon would come.
05:29Three typhoons.
05:31All three of them.
05:33One would leave.
05:35Two would come.
05:39We had to...
05:42Pack our things.
05:44Flashlights.
05:46And food.
05:52Before, I didn't understand Ondoy.
05:55After Ulysses,
05:57I understood it.
05:59But before,
06:00I really didn't know.
06:01And when it rains heavily,
06:03It floods.
06:04I wasn't aware of what was really happening.
06:08Before, when I was in college,
06:11I didn't know.
06:13About those typhoons.
06:15What they meant.
06:19So after that,
06:21I became aware of Ulysses.
06:25So the climate change that I studied,
06:27It's too late.
06:29Before, there was none.
06:38Hey, I haven't finished yet.
06:41You're so good.
06:43Why are you two tired again?
06:50I also watch GMA News.
06:56They also have an interpreter.
06:58That's what's good about it.
06:59Because when there's a typhoon,
07:00We're always there.
07:02Also on YouTube,
07:03On GMA News.
07:06When will it come?
07:08Or not yet?
07:09What if it's signal number one?
07:11Or signal number two?
07:13When the typhoon is strong?
07:15Okay.
07:32I'm Miss Rialyn
07:36From SP Con.
07:39This is my sign name.
07:42I've been teaching for 7 years
07:45Here in PSA.
07:47Philippine School for the Deaf.
07:49In our church,
07:51There are deaf people
07:53Where we also teach
07:55For Sunday School.
07:57So I thought,
07:59Maybe that's also
08:01God's way
08:03To become a teacher
08:05For the deaf.
08:07There are a lot of deaf people
08:09Who need help.
08:11So I decided
08:13To become a teacher.
08:15So I studied
08:17Sign language.
08:19So I can help them.
08:21In the first place,
08:23So I can understand them.
08:25Where are they from?
08:27What's their culture?
08:39Praise the Lord.
08:41Praise the Lord.
08:43Our problem here
08:45With the deaf community
08:47Is because
08:49They can't hear.
08:51So it's hard for them
08:53When there's an announcement.
08:55Announcement, through talk.
08:57They can't hear.
08:59So the information
09:01Is delayed.
09:03Everyone panics.
09:05But they,
09:07The deaf,
09:09They're just relaxed.
09:11And they'll know when they look around.
09:13But the information
09:15Is delayed.
09:17So they can't prepare
09:19Before that happens.
09:21Today we're going to discuss
09:23About the climate change.
09:25Okay, so
09:27As you observed, we experienced
09:29Typhoon.
09:31They were curious
09:33About the climate change.
09:35One example is
09:37A student asked
09:39Ma'am, why
09:41In other places
09:43There's ice
09:45It's raining.
09:47It's raining.
09:49And in other places
09:51It's too hot.
09:53So I said, that's the effect of
09:55Climate change.
09:57The next picture we have is
09:59Did you observe?
10:01It's a dry
10:03Land.
10:05Because of the hot
10:07Weather condition of our
10:09Planet, because of the
10:11Greenhouse effect.
10:13So we
10:15Observed the land is
10:17Very dry.
10:19Okay.
10:21Next is, typhoon.
10:23Or
10:29It's hard to explain.
10:31Especially if you don't know the signs.
10:33Or
10:35You started teaching
10:37Here in the deaf school.
10:39Because
10:41Think about it,
10:43How can they understand
10:45What you want to say?
10:47If you don't know the signs.
10:49That's why
10:51There are visual aids
10:53Presentations, video
10:55Presentations,
10:57The real scenarios that happen.
10:59Anyone who wants to share
11:01About your struggle as a deaf
11:03Person?
11:05Who wants to answer?
11:09Okay.
11:11When I was asleep,
11:13My mama called me.
11:17So I wake up and
11:19We open the TV and we saw
11:21The news.
11:23That we have typhoons coming.
11:25And we pack our dress.
11:27And we go to Lola.
11:31So
11:33I experienced the flood
11:35Here in Manila.
11:39Very strong typhoon.
11:45We have to help to clean the house.
11:49And we have to use
11:51A boat.
11:53Because it's
11:55Really high.
11:57The typhoon is very strong.
11:59You know,
12:01It's good if you have an example
12:03To show.
12:05Because it's visual,
12:07They can see the real scenario.
12:09Especially,
12:11They show
12:13The drama
12:15Of the real
12:17Happening or the
12:19Situations in the present.
12:21They always say,
12:23It's so aware.
12:25It means that
12:27They become aware
12:29Of what's going to happen
12:31In the future.
12:33And even now, they experience it.
12:35They can see it.
12:37They can feel it.
12:39That it's right.
12:41We really need to
12:43Take care
12:45Of our world.
12:47That we don't just
12:49Disappear because of the flood.
12:53Typhoon Christine
12:57Class suspended today
12:59Due to Typhoon Christine.
13:01So, I thought
13:03That you need
13:05Our deaf community.
13:07Because no one
13:09Announces.
13:11Sometimes, they don't
13:13Watch TV.
13:15So, I help them
13:17For awareness that
13:19We have deaf people
13:21Who can connect with us.
13:23And we can
13:25Have an announcement.
13:27Not just verbally.
13:29And there's also a sign.
13:33Because they are PWD.
13:35They are deaf.
13:37They don't know
13:39Their concept of life.
13:41It's like you feel alone.
13:43Because
13:45You can't be with them.
13:47You can't hear anything.
13:49You can't communicate
13:51With them.
13:53Because
13:55I also have a son.
13:57He's also deaf.
13:59So, I feel like
14:01He's alone in the world.
14:03And we don't have anything.
14:05So, how can we
14:07Guide them in the future?
14:09So, they won't be discriminated.
14:11So, that's why
14:13I want to help
14:15In any way.
14:17So that
14:19You can accompany them.
14:21Because it's hard
14:23If we don't help each other.
14:25They will be
14:27Left behind.
14:29So, it's important
14:31To help each other.
14:33To connect with each other.
14:37Let us discuss
14:39And prepare for the
14:41First quarter.
14:47For the deaf,
14:49Why are they vulnerable?
14:53They have communication barriers.
14:55They don't have accessibility
14:57To information.
14:59They don't have an interpreter.
15:01If there's an emergency,
15:03They can't speak.
15:05They can't understand the text.
15:07Because it's in Tagalog.
15:09Those are their vulnerabilities.
15:11So, how can we help them?
15:13It's better for them to be included
15:15In the accessibility.
15:17Actually,
15:19In Project Sign,
15:21Our goal is
15:23To empower the deaf
15:25To be more involved
15:27In this course about
15:29Climate change, especially
15:31Vocabulary and trainings.
15:33So that they know about climate change.
15:35So that they know how to prepare.
15:37So that the police know.
15:39So, in Project Sign,
15:41We have
15:43Two work programs.
15:45The first one is
15:47Developed by CENYAS.
15:49It means, they go to
15:51Different places to collect
15:53Signs about climate change.
15:55They record it all.
15:57The second work program
15:59Is
16:01The other team
16:03Interviews them about what to do.
16:05About climate change.
16:09They distribute
16:11Modules for hearing and deaf.
16:13And the third one is
16:15Policy.
16:35We called a climate scientist.
16:37If this concept is right.
16:39If our understanding is right.
16:41Because, of course,
16:43We don't know the meaning
16:45Of those terms.
16:47And then,
16:49When the climate scientist said,
16:51Okay, we were coordinating
16:53Since then with them.
16:55To see if the concept
16:57Matches with CENYAS.
16:59Actually, yes, this is the first.
17:01In relation to climate change.
17:03This is the first in the Philippines.
17:05This Project Sign.
17:07This is really important in the Philippines.
17:09This is the first.
17:11First in history.
17:13The climate change for the deaf.
17:19This is a sign for climate change.
17:21Why, first?
17:23This is a sign for weather.
17:25Different seasons, different typhoons and all that.
17:27Plus, this is a sign for change.
17:29Why, as we can see,
17:31Typhoons change in due time.
17:33And seasons and all that.
17:35This is a sign for climate change.
17:37Compounded together.
17:43For the rain, there are variations of signs.
17:45In Baguio,
17:47This is the sign
17:49That they use.
17:53Here in Manila, this is the sign
17:55That is commonly used.
17:57And in Batangas, this is what they use.
18:01Legazpi.
18:05And in CDO,
18:07This is how they sign
18:09Rain.
18:11For the rain, there are different levels
18:13Of intensity.
18:15Light.
18:17Moderate.
18:19And last, heavy rain.
18:27Wind.
18:29Levels of intensity.
18:31Mild wind.
18:33Moderate wind.
18:35Strong wind.
18:41Flood.
18:43This is a sign
18:45For flood.
18:47And another sign, which is the natural sign,
18:49Is this is how they do it.
18:51Levels of intensity, or levels of flood.
18:53Low.
18:55Moderate flood.
18:57Worst kind of flood.
19:03The closed face
19:05Represents the earth.
19:07And the three fingers
19:09Represents the different layers of
19:11Gases that covers the earth.
19:17And now for the greenhouse effect.
19:19The heat emitted by the sun
19:21Enters into the earth's atmosphere
19:23And gets stuck inside the earth.
19:25And it does not escape.
19:27That's why it causes heat
19:29Within the earth's atmosphere.
19:31So this is a sign
19:33For greenhouse effect.
19:35Actually,
19:37In the future, it will change
19:39Because
19:41Governments are becoming more aware.
19:43That is the priority.
19:45Specifically, the deaf
19:47Because ever since
19:49The government
19:51Has homogenization,
19:53Right?
19:55Because the needs of the deaf are different.
19:57Their specific needs are different
19:59So it should be prioritized.
20:01Okay, at this time,
20:03I'm gonna teach you
20:05Some climate change.
20:07It has a big impact, right?
20:09It's also a big thing for them.
20:11If they learn this,
20:13Especially the signs.
20:15And the concept,
20:17The idea of climate change.
20:19They themselves,
20:21Their lives will be
20:23Prepared.
20:25If there will be a storm
20:27Or any calamities
20:29That we will experience in the future.
20:53So what do you think is the weather today?
20:57Oh, yes!
20:59It's raining!
21:01Yes, okay. So you have to be careful.
21:03Okay?
21:05And goodbye.
21:07See you tomorrow.
21:13I do face challenges and barriers
21:15When communicating with hearing people.
21:19My goal is to bridge the gap
21:21Through any means of communication.
21:27I believe
21:29I can achieve this goal
21:31Because I have experienced success
21:33Many times before.
21:59Please subscribe.
22:01See you next time.
