00:00 In the midst of the heat and the heat, some fell and died
00:05 as a result of the help from the Abra.
00:08 According to the experts, the El Niño is weakening,
00:11 but it still has an effect.
00:14 It is possible that it was followed by the El Niña or the La Niña.
00:19 That is what Oscar Oida is pointing out.
00:26 More people are standing in line to get help from the Abra Sports Complex.
00:32 But later on...
00:34 people came out.
00:41 Some fell and died.
00:54 The medics responded immediately.
00:57 It is really hard to control the thousands of beneficiaries.
01:04 Even 700 police, soldiers and marshals were there to help.
01:21 The people of the MMDA are so hot that they are following one another.
01:25 I even got blood pressure from the MMDA's health personnel.
01:32 Jennifer, the traffic enforcer, is in a panic.
01:35 There is a time when it gets really hot.
01:40 Even a child can get heatstroke.
01:42 The MMDA's water distribution to their enforcers is also increasing.
01:48 That is part of making sure that our field personnel,
01:53 the traffic enforcers who are deployed on the road during this summer,
02:00 are in good condition.
02:04 That is different from the previous heat effects,
02:07 like the lack of water that was also dried by the plantations of chilies in Marcos, Ilocos Norte.
02:14 And because of the poor quality of the corn in Dingras, Ilocos Norte.
02:20 In truth, the El Nino is getting weaker, according to the forecast.
02:25 But its impact will be felt in the coming months.
02:29 The heat index in some places in Western Visayas is also high.
02:35 42 degrees Celsius, it could still reach about 43 in Rojas,
02:40 and then 42 in Iloilo and Dumangas.
02:43 When April and May comes, the heat index will be higher.
02:48 The El Nino is not yet getting hot.
02:51 The hope of the La Nina Watch has already faded,
02:54 because it is possible that this is the next thing that will happen.
02:58 The probability, 55% probability or more,
03:03 that La Nina might develop in the next 6 months.
03:09 But while it is not yet, it is possible that the rain will still continue,
03:13 so everyone still needs to be more careful in using water.
