00:00 A vehicle that can monitor the weather is launched by DOST today.
00:06 The vehicle is also expected to help in responding quickly to the time of calamity and emergency.
00:13 Ryan is now at the center of the news.
00:15 At first glance, you think this is just a normal vehicle.
00:22 But don't be fooled because this vehicle has the capacity to monitor the weather.
00:28 In addition, it also has a rescue quad-captor drone,
00:32 global satellite communication and surveillance equipment,
00:36 rescue and medical equipment,
00:39 portable boat that can be used in rescue operations,
00:42 conference room, and most of all,
00:45 mobile command center.
00:48 This is the Mobile Command and Control Vehicle with RIAJ Technology or MOCOV.
00:53 MOCOV was formally launched in Caloocan earlier.
00:59 DOST said that four cities in NCR are included in the Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities Program that MOCOV can receive.
01:07 The vehicle is worth more than P17 million.
01:12 One of DOST's goals in launching MOCOV is to make response activities easier and faster
01:20 after a calamity and emergency.
01:23 MOCOV is like a response.
01:29 It will respond if there is a threat and if the threat is already there.
01:36 So it needs to be prepared in different districts here in Caloocan.
01:45 And they will go there to the places where they need help.
01:52 And this level is very good because you have cameras and drones.
02:00 If you go to a flood problem, you have a rescue boat.
02:05 This is a big help to the disasters like floods, floods, fire, earthquake, all that we can use.
02:15 MOCOV technology is one of the DRRMM technology that was launched in 2023 for the Philippines.
02:23 Ryan Lizigues, for the country.
