01:10Habagat, or Southwest Monsoon,
01:12is the wind that comes from the south of Andorra.
01:15So when it comes, especially when it is enhanced,
01:18the first place that will be affected is the western section of our country,
01:22where Palawan is located.
01:25The GMA Kapuso Foundation
01:28is the backbone of the floods and habagat in Palawan.
01:33That is why we immediately repacked our relief goods.
01:36The Philippine Army's Western Command was happy.
01:39We brought it to the Kororoy site
01:42and the Sitio Poblacion in Barangay Kalawag.
01:45Even if the road is low and narrow,
01:48it did not become a barrier for us to send help
01:52to the 3,600 individuals who were affected by the floods.
01:57Even though we are here in a faraway place,
02:01we were not able to reach the GMA Kapuso to help.
