00:00Even if the Unos cut it, the filial piety of the Filipinos is still there.
00:05In another barangay in Polanggi,
00:07money, in exchange for potik,
00:09was what the barangay thought of to give life to the residents.
00:13And Chino Gaston got it right.
00:18This is how thick the potik that was left by the flood of rivers and rice
00:22in the houses of Barangay Ubaliu in Polanggi, Albay
00:25after the flood of Christine.
00:28To speed up the cleaning and also help those in need.
00:32The barangay thought of buying every small sack
00:35of potik they can save.
00:37Only 10 pesos per sack.
00:39But because of the large amount of potik in the area,
00:41the barangay's fund ran out.
00:43Maybe I won't be spending 10,000 or 1,000 sacks.
00:48But in just two days, we accumulated 1,980 sacks.
00:53So it totaled 19,800.
00:56The LGU stopped first.
00:58They provided us with a tupad.
01:00But because the help was priceless,
01:03the residents continued to clean.
01:06The townspeople also volunteered
01:10to clean the roads near the river.
01:13It's part of the effort to get back on their feet.
01:17Even though there are still many who continue to work at the evacuation center.
01:20When the number one signal was given,
01:22the people left.
01:25In the town of Uwas, the residents are the ones who are responsible
01:28for maintaining this road that can no longer be used by vehicles
01:32because there is no foundation beneath it
01:35and it can fall at any time.
01:37The road from Libon and Pio Duran is also blocked
01:42because of landslides.
01:43We were able to reach the people who are delivering packages
01:46who have a problem with how to get through the deliveries
01:49that have been delayed for a week.
01:51Maybe if there is access to the road,
01:54we will be able to deliver their parcels.
01:58We tried to get to Pio Duran through the backdoor.
02:02But it's a bit far.
