00:03 A dump truck crashed into a river in the boundary of Giginto and Malolo City in Bulacan.
00:09 Based on the investigation, the driver was able to sleep.
00:12 The impact was so strong that the front of the truck was destroyed.
00:15 The driver and his passenger were injured and were rushed to the hospital.
00:18 It took more than five hours before the truck was removed from the scene.

00:24 Instead of getting angry,
00:25 an animal rescuer in the United Kingdom was able to make his cell phone go deaf.
00:31 The cell phone was a fox.
00:34 The animal rescuer was hoping to get a video of the animal being treated by a wounded fox.
00:38 But while the animal was setting up the cell phone,
00:40 another fox slowly approached,
00:44 bit the cell phone,
00:45 and ran away.
00:47 The video camera was on,
00:49 so the incident was recorded.
00:51 Later,
00:52 the fox also let go of the cell phone.
00:54 He smelled it first,
00:56 and then left.
00:57 The rescuer also came and picked up the phone.

01:07 A teacher's mission in the river was accomplished
01:10 by sharing a laptop with fellow students.
01:13 Those who used to dream,
01:15 but now have a degree holder.
01:18 That's what Mark Salazar reported.
01:20 [music]
01:24 Because of the COVID-19 pandemic,
01:26 classes are now online.
01:29 That's why Teacher Melanie decided
01:32 to think of a way
01:34 to get together some of her deserving students
01:37 who don't have laptops.
01:39 I posted her story first.
01:42 Then,
01:43 in just a few minutes,
01:45 I was able to get sponsors.
01:49 After five days,
01:50 I was able to buy a laptop
01:53 for my dream.
01:57 One of the lucky ones to have a laptop
01:59 is Mark,
02:00 who is now a graduating student.
02:02 He doesn't have money to buy a laptop.
02:04 He has a plan.
02:05 He just borrowed money to buy a laptop.
02:09 After a few years,
02:10 the teacher's good adhika was fruitful.
02:13 Some of the students she helped to get a laptop
02:17 now have a degree,
02:18 like Cassandra.
02:19 It was really hard for me back then
02:21 because I only used cellphones.
02:24 I'm still very grateful to Teacher Melanie
02:27 because she gave me a laptop.
02:33 In two years,
02:35 Teacher Melanie gave her a laptop
02:38 with the help of some good people.
02:41 I believe in their ability.
02:44 So, I need to help the students
02:48 to have this ability.
02:52 That's why now,
02:53 Teacher Melanie wants to continue
02:55 the good start.
02:57 Let's not cut the cycle.
03:00 I often tell them
03:01 that if you're in a situation
03:04 where you can help,
03:06 in any way,
03:07 do it.
03:08 So that we can continue
03:11 giving and sharing.
