00:23 Yes, Susan. In more than 2,000 residents, only 7 were able to rescue their fishpond operator

01:18 were affected by the heat from 85 fishpond operators and 30 hectares of seaweed farm from 32 seaweed farmers in the city.
01:27 That's why the agency is continuing to provide assistance, like money, for their fishponds.
01:32 Actually, part of the 10.5 million intervention for El Niño approved by the local government is really the provision of assistance as well
01:41 to our fishpond operators and to our seaweed farmers.

01:59 Residents were disposed of their own to avoid the heat.
02:02 Some are still cleaning the fishpond and some are returning the cooling system like the coconut juice that is left in the street.
02:10 Even if the sun is hot, the shopkeepers are still disposing of their own to sell.
