00:00One of our missions here at KMJS is to show the situation of the communities,
00:09especially in the remote provinces.
00:18And one of the things that we encountered in real life
00:23is how the barangay residents of Tambobong in Davao City
00:28encountered the dangerous Tamugan River.
00:43That day, our team managed to cross the river
00:47but Jason seemed to be paralyzed.
00:50He was riding on a rope tied to a tree.
00:53He was being carried by five people.
00:59They were ready to face death
01:03because the victim was still alive.
01:09But in the middle of their assault,
01:12the first man was injured.
01:20They were trapped here.
01:24Jason was paralyzed.
01:27He was almost paralyzed.
01:30He was almost paralyzed.
01:52After almost 15 minutes,
01:55they were able to cross safely.
02:00By the mercy of God,
02:02he was also brought to the hospital.
02:05We are considering a spinal cord compression on the lumbar.
02:09It's not just the patients who are having a hard time moving
02:12because of the situation of their path.
02:15Even the dead.
02:20Just like this body,
02:22even before they were able to cross the bridge
02:25connected to the Tamugan River,
02:27suddenly,
02:33it started to flow.
02:45When we saw the trees and rocks falling,
02:49we were shocked.
02:51Sir!
02:52Sir!
03:10Even the students in the area
03:13were pouring water
03:16just to enter the school.
03:21They were also able to bathe and do their hair
03:24on the other side of the river
03:26before going to their class.
03:3680% of the students came from Kibidud.
03:39The current of the water was strong
03:41so the students were able to cross safely.
03:44The students were able to cross safely.
03:47The students were able to cross safely.
03:50The students were able to cross safely.
03:54Their main wish is to build a hanging bridge.
04:00Next, the local government of Davao
04:04started the construction of their first bridge.
04:08The bridge was built
04:10to connect the school
04:12and the school to the river.
04:16One of the things we encountered
04:19was how the people of Tambobong
04:22were able to cross the dangerous Tamugan River
04:26in Davao City.
04:31Their main wish is to build a hanging bridge.
04:36Five months after the construction of the Tambobong Bridge
04:41here in KMJS, the capital of the three barangays of Tambobong,
04:49the local government of Davao
04:52started the construction of their first bridge.
04:58And when we visited their site,
05:05the residents were able to cross the hanging bridge.
05:11They were able to cross safely.
05:17This 50-meter-long bridge
05:19connects Kitali City
05:22and the center of Tambobong Barangay.
05:24When we visited KMJS,
05:28the local government of Davao
05:31was able to cross the hanging bridge.
05:34We are thankful
05:35because we were able to solve our problem.
05:37When we were young, we were able to cross the bridge.
05:39Now, we are able to cross the bridge.
05:43If we were not able to cross the bridge,
05:45we would have died.
05:46If there was a flood,
05:47if there was a patient,
05:48they would have died here in Tambog.
05:50We were not able to cross the bridge.
05:52The children were able to enter the school safely.
05:56Our students were able to cross the bridge.
05:59They are now active in the classroom.
06:00Our lesson is about family as guardians.
06:05We are still fighting for our school.
06:09We are not going to give up in the wild.
06:12Because there are many trees,
06:14the children have no energy to carry it.
06:17They have to buy a motorbike to go to school.
06:20They have no energy.
06:22We are still fighting for our community.
06:24In my case, I am sick.
06:26I have a lung condition.
06:28I don't want to go to school because my son is sick.
06:30Now, Jason is hoping to start another bridge in the middle of the Tamugan River
06:38that will lead to Sitio Kidali and Sitio Kibidtud,
06:42where he was able to cross the Duyan River.
06:46This is closer to their home.
06:49The local government of Davao City is also studying this.
06:54We are rushing the budget that needs to be given
06:57so that all the residents there will not have a hard time crossing the river.
07:07In the past 20 years,
07:10we are proud that KMJS became a bridge
07:15to bring the situation of our countrymen
07:20so that they can help and take action on their situation.
07:24Rest assured, in the coming years,
07:27we still have a lot of lives that will change.
07:49For the latest updates.
