00:11The local government of Malabon launched the first mobile laundry on wheels
00:16for post-disaster scenarios in cities where free washing services are available
00:22and will give a big boost to communities that have no access to water while in evacuation centers.
00:29Mayor Jeannie Sandoval and Roderick Tungwal led the Malabon Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office
00:35to organize a simulation exercise for the so-called mobile laundry unit in Barangay Catmon Evacuation Center.
00:42Using innovative washing machines, more than 100 individuals were given the opportunity
00:47to try the laundry on wheels on the first day of the free service.
00:52We thought of having a mobile laundry service
00:55so that if there is a calamity, we can bring it to the evacuation center
01:01and our countrymen will have access to wash and clean their clothes.
01:09Of course, sometimes there are people who donate, right?
01:11They don't have clothes.
01:13This is their way to be affected in any way
01:18so that they don't worry about their hygiene.
01:21The Malabon Mobile Laundry on Wheels is expected to go around 21 barangays
01:26to provide emergency assistance and services to communities,
01:29especially those affected by the calamity.
