00:00For those who are awake,
00:02some businessmen have a problem with flooding.
00:06From the canals, the flood is increasing.
00:09In Mangaldan, Pangasinan,
00:11there are people who were hit by the flood
00:12because the flood is still not decreasing.
00:15Live from Pangasinan,
00:16we have the first news,
00:17Claire Lacanilao-Dunca of GMA Regional TV.
00:21Claire?
00:25Ivan, aside from the flood,
00:27some people in Mangaldan, Pangasinan,
00:29have a bad smell and water is leaking
00:31because of the long flood.
00:37On September 16,
00:39the 8-year-old grandson of Marilyn Arbandal
00:41of Barangay Gigilon in Mangaldan, Pangasinan,
00:44was diagnosed with dengue.
00:46Aside from the high fever,
00:48the child also had diabetes.
00:50He was brought to the hospital
00:51and discovered that the child has dengue fever.
00:54His grandson is one of the three people
00:56who were hit by dengue in their barangay
00:58because the flood is still not decreasing in the area.
01:00He has a headache,
01:02he always has a fever and it goes away.
01:05He is already over 42 years old.
01:08I am afraid.
01:10It's a good thing that he didn't bleed.
01:14We were able to take care of him right away
01:17and gave him medicine.
01:19Residents also have a problem
01:21because of the bad smell and water is leaking
01:23because of the long flood.
01:25When there is dengue,
01:27we immediately report it to the infirmary
01:30and to the hospital.
01:31We also give medicine
01:33for itching,
01:36and for other diseases like this,
01:40we also give medicine.
01:43According to the official of the barangay,
01:44if they experience rain,
01:47it takes more than five months
01:48for the flood to reach their area.
01:51As a temporary solution,
01:53they first apply larvicidal treatment to the water
01:56and they distribute medicine
01:58against leptospirosis to the residents.
02:00We will do it here on the same road
02:02of the drainage canal.
02:04We need to do it,
02:05but we only give resolutions to the governor.
02:09Some businessmen in Dagupan City
02:12have a problem with the flooding
02:14from the drainage canal.
02:15It seems that the flood is increasing
02:17after the flood in the city.
02:19Yes, there are many outside.
02:21Some businessmen put mousetraps
02:24in front of their positions
02:26while other businessmen clean their own.
02:28The Dagupan City Government
02:30is distributing medicine
02:33against leptospirosis to the residents
02:36and cleaning the canals of various barangays.
02:44Ivan, what is the advice of the authorities
02:46to the public to maintain a clean environment
02:49and to always wear boots
02:51and any shoes
02:52if it rains and floods?
02:54Ivan.
02:55Thank you very much.
