00:00The victims of the fire in Isla Puting Bato in Manila celebrated Christmas in evacuation centers.
00:07But despite the serious problem, they were still happy to celebrate Christmas.
00:12This is Benji Durango of PTV in Balitang Pambansa.
00:17It's like you're getting a lot of shots.
00:22I'm a street vendor.
00:24And you're still laughing.
00:25You have to be happy.
00:27Noche Buena was happy to taste this in Tondo, Manila.
00:31I'm celebrating Christmas with them.
00:33This is what they prepared.
00:35They have Pancit Canton Bihon.
00:39And there's spaghetti.
00:40It's fancy.
00:43And they have, what do you call this?
00:45Adobo sa Gata.
00:47Adobo sa Gata.
00:48It looks delicious.
00:50And it looks like you're getting a lot of food.
00:52Yes, I'm getting a lot of food.
00:54You're getting a lot of food.
00:56But behind the laughter, the hardship that they went through.
01:01They are the evacuees of Isla Puting Bato that was burned in November.
01:05Because the evacuees are still full, the two evacuation centers in Tondo,
01:09They will also be in Silong for a month.
01:11In Pintagpipalping, Saco, and Lona, next to the road.
01:14They also have no choice but to stay here in Noche Buena.
01:18The government continues to help them.
01:21They are also starting to build their house.
01:24Even though there are obstacles in life, the Christmas celebration continues.
01:28That's the only question now.
01:29Can you still do it?
01:30I can still do it.
01:31How do you do it?
01:36I'm crying.
01:39My husband was disgraced.
01:44He's having a hard time now.
01:46But as they say, the Filipino is strong when it comes to problems.
01:49As long as they just share a shot, the happy story will pass.
01:54Whatever trials they go through.
01:58From PTV, Benji Durango, for Balitang Pambansa.
