00:00 For those who cannot go to resort and beach,
00:04 alternative to the heat of the sun is to swim in inflatable pools.
00:09 But the task force El Nino said, avoid using it.
00:13 Ian Cruz is on the case.
00:15 Whenever the weather gets hot,
00:20 one of the inflatable pools that are already enjoying is being released.
00:24 The children can still cool down.
00:26 They don't have to go far, there is an instant swimming activity that they don't leave the house.
00:31 But the task force El Nino is asking to stop using the inflatable pools
00:36 to save water.
00:37 Now, the water is being drained by El Nino
00:40 whenever the water supply is expected to be less.
00:43 Instead of going down to the inflatable pool,
00:45 they just bring water to drink to ease the feeling.
00:50 We should do our share, our part.
00:53 We will start with the government but we are asking for the help of our fellow countrymen
00:58 to reduce the impact of El Nino.
01:01 What is that? Behavioral change.
01:03 In our own little way, let's help each other to overcome the threat of El Nino.
01:11 But it seems that the taste of other children is strong in this request of the task force.
01:16 No.
01:17 Why?
01:18 Because there is no point in swimming in the other pools because the others are far from the resort.
01:24 Or in the river.
01:25 No.
01:26 Why?
01:27 Because it's fun to swim.
01:32 Do you agree with that?
01:33 Yes.
01:34 Why?
01:35 Because it saves water.
01:38 Another advice of the task force is not to go down to the pool to save water.
01:43 We can't say that because it's too hot.
01:46 It's fun to swim.
01:49 You will swim for a while?
01:52 No, I can't.
01:53 I won't allow it.
