00:00I think, well, the air quality is not good at this time because of the continuous smoke that's coming from
00:08the landfill.
00:10So what we're focusing on now, I think, and all the agencies involved, is to quell this fire.
00:18So it's been taking some time because the area is not small. It's 41 hectares.
00:24But we're moving there. There's progress already and a lot of assistance is being provided by different sectors.
00:32Sir, do we also have like a target date? How soon is it going?
00:39I can't provide a definite timeline right now.
00:44But if and when we do get a clearer indication, we'll provide it.
00:50Sir, kapag tumapak ng hazardous level, should it tumapak ng hazardous level, anong kailangan gawin ng mga tao?
00:57Well, as you know, in Ubando, Bulacan, the local government unit saw it appropriate to relocate some of them initially
01:12in some shelters.
01:13So kung ganun nga grabe na yung readings, ay siguro kailangan temporarily lipat.
01:20But I think it should be improving soon with all the efforts that are being exerted to address this situation.
01:31Well, sir, kasi recently nag-reignite yung fire, tapos nung gabi, kahap, kagabi, nakaramdam nung, nung nakatiyampas ay may smog.
01:43May plans ba to recalibrate yung mga action ng DNR para hindi na ulit mag-reignite yung fire dun sila?
01:53Well, the reason why we have experts coming in to advise us, to assist us, including JICA and some other
02:07entities that are providing already technical assistance to us,
02:11is because we don't want this to be prolonged and we're getting all the experts available to be able to
02:21provide us with the proper advice on how to make this effort faster.
