00:00 MWSS has established a public fund to save on water and to lower the level of dams.
00:08 This is the story of Clayzell Pardilla.
00:10 Ms. Edna is transferring the washing of dishes to a small container.
00:18 We are saving on watering plants.
00:21 We are really saving on water because, first of all, the cost is high.
00:26 El Nino is expecting a strong and mature water supply this February.
00:30 That is why MWSS is encouraging consumers to be more cautious when using water.
00:36 This will help to avoid the rapid decrease of water levels in dams.
00:42 When we wash, instead of throwing it away in our drainage system,
00:46 we will save it to use it for our CRs.
00:50 This will also help to reduce our daily consumption.
00:56 When it comes to 180 meters, the priority is the domestic water supply.
01:01 We also need to think for the food security.
01:06 We don't want to reach 180 meters because the supply of irrigation will be deprived.
01:15 The National Irrigation Administration said that if the plant has irrigation,
01:20 the effect of El Nino will not be great on production.
01:24 At present, the plant has 1.5 million hectares of irrigation.
01:30 But there is still 1 million hectares left.
01:33 If we call it rain or snow, we will not be able to get anything.
01:38 They are part of the expansion of our services.
01:41 But as of today, the local government units should be facing the cost.
01:48 In Western Visayas and Zamboanga Peninsula, the cost of El Nino has increased to more than 151 million pesos.
01:57 The DA is now focusing on market stability.
02:01 The high price of rice is still expected until September.
02:05 El Nino has an effect on the global market.
02:08 The government of the company is also insisting on fighting against the government of the country.
02:13 Meanwhile, El Nino is using the money to hoard and make the unprofitable price of rice come true.
02:20 According to the Federation of Free Farmers, traders are now starting to fight for new rice.
02:28 By the time the bulk of the harvest comes in March, the traders will try to buy as much as possible.
02:37 There will be intense competition for supplying.
02:40 Then they will stock up, monitor what is the normal buying price of rice.
02:45 Then they will compute the equivalent of that rice.
02:50 That is the goal of the Department of Agriculture and DTI to say that there is profiteering or hoarding.
02:58 "Coordination of course, to check the prices number one, to see if every day what is the price and to properly coordinate with all the agencies.
03:12 Second is to check with our enforcement bureaus, agencies, if there are any possibilities of hoarding or manipulation and to make the necessary recommendations."
