03:12This is to make sure that the billeting area
03:15of their delegado reaches 1,000.
03:19I'm satisfied because you will see that it's
03:25what, 95 to 98 percent complete
03:29insofar as the painting is concerned,
03:32insofar as the work is concerned.
03:34It's just a matter of cleaning already the area.
03:38In Zamboanga City,
03:40residents have a hard time crossing
03:43on their motorbikes in the river
03:46in the Papaya Barangay, Pamucuta.
03:49This is after the flood
03:51destroyed a concrete bridge
03:54when heavy rain fell on June 16.
03:57To have a temporary way through,
03:59the residents made an improvised bridge
04:02made of wood
04:03because they have to pass through here every day.
04:07This is just the beginning.
04:09If the flood comes,
04:11we will be able to pass through here.
04:14We will be able to pass through here.
04:17We will be able to pass through here.
04:20According to the Zamboanga City Engineer's Office,
04:23a new bridge has been built in the area.
04:26Actually, the project is suspended
04:29but soon to be resumed
04:30if the road is repaired.
04:32We will double the work
04:35so that our people can use it.
04:46Ivan, because of the floods,
04:48LGUs are looking for different ways
