00:00A group of farmers in Bagao, Cagayan is calling for help
00:06due to the effects of the super typhoon Leon.
00:09Last time, they lost money.
00:12Now, it looks like they need to borrow again.
00:16Jonathan Andal is on the lookout.
00:25The farmers are chasing the bags of rice
00:28that are being washed away by the flood.
00:35This is the aftermath of the super typhoon Leon in Bagao, Cagayan.
00:39We found the farmers in the nearby barangay of Hacienda Intal.
00:44We found Josie, who lost 3 tons of rice due to the flood.
00:50I hope there's a good heart that will help us
00:53so that we can get back what we lost because it's our debt.
00:58I don't know how to pay for it.
01:01She was able to save 45 tons of rice
01:04but some of it turned black and they said they'll have to sell it.
01:08The flood came from this stream
01:12that was just washed away by the typhoon
01:14and their bags of rice were swept away.
01:17Around 100 farmers are affected by the super typhoon Leon,
01:21according to one of the workers here.
01:22They lost money last time
01:24and they'll have to borrow again for the next crop.
01:28I just want to exchange the rice and the farming pots
01:32because the problem here is that
01:36even if this happens to us, we're paying the interest.
01:39Our team reached out to the JMA Kapuso Foundation for help.
01:45We didn't expect you to come here
01:52because it's far from here.
01:54Thank you very much to the Kapuso Foundation.
