00:00How did it happen that instead of white, we now know that it's brown water that entered their bodies?

00:06Isn't this also dangerous to their health, Marianne?

00:10For us, flooding is a combination of natural and human factors.

00:15If there's too much water that falls, compared to the water that comes out because of the rivers and so on,

00:22it will really flood.

00:24So when we say tropical monsoon climate, the countries in the tropics,

00:29so it's close to the equator, are affected by monsoon winds.

00:34So what we call Habagat, every June, July, August,

00:38and what we call Amihan, around December, January.

00:45Another natural factor is because the Philippines is located in what's called the Pacific Typhoon Belt.

00:50We are at the peak of this typhoon belt.

00:53That's why we are definitely the ones who are affected the most.

00:57In these times, there's a stronger and longer-lasting experience of rain that leads to flooding.

01:04So when we built these roads, buildings, and so on,

01:10the water flow, of course, we stopped it.

01:13And this is the human cost.

01:17What happened is that we increased the flooding.

01:20In this barangay in Batasan Island of Tubigon, Bohol,

01:24there are different types of people.

01:26Some are dancing in the middle of the flood.

01:32While others are still swimming in the middle of the road.

01:39The water here is crystal clear.

01:42Wow, that's different.

01:45But the sad truth is that this flood continues to rise

01:51because the flood is brought by the sea.

01:56The island started to sink after the strong typhoon Bohol in 2013.

02:03Now, the situation is below sea level

02:06and the life and education of the people there is affected.

02:10The residents of Batasan Island were forced to leave the island.

02:16Let's go back to Marianne.

02:18When we were taking out the water,

02:21they were already hiding.

02:22So when we took out the water, it was white.

02:25They were wondering why the color was like that.

02:29She's still joking.

02:30Because the hearts of the people here are good,

02:33that's why they experienced the flood like that.

02:35Or we experienced it.

02:37Don't make fun of us, Marianne.

02:40What really happened to you?

02:41The last time my friend painted,

02:44he only left the gloss latex,

02:48the final coat of his painting.

02:51So the tendency was,

02:53since the water rose,

02:55the bottom of the painting rose.

02:58Then it sank,

03:00and that's what caused the water to sink.

03:03That's why our water turned white.

03:06Oh, by the way,

03:07the remaining gloss latex was mixed with the water

03:10that entered their house.

03:13This is the room that we painted white.

03:16This is also where the remaining paint that was thrown into the water came from.

03:19That's why the water in our living room turned white.

03:24The next day,

03:25they continued to remove the water.

03:28It's also a bit itchy

03:30because the paint sticks to our skin.

03:33But the smell is gone

03:36because the paint mixed with the water was made odorless.

03:41But isn't it dangerous for their feet to get wet

03:44from the water that was mixed with the paint?

03:48In that case, it's dangerous

03:50because the water that was mixed with the paint

03:55contains volatile substances.

03:58It can be diluted and put in the eyes

04:01and cause conjunctivitis.

04:03It can also cause dermatitis.

04:05It can also cause skin irritation.

04:07As much as possible,

04:08we should avoid getting our feet wet from the water.

04:13If we can't avoid it,

04:15we can use boots.

04:18We should wash our hands and feet.

04:22During a typhoon,

04:24it's important to be alert.

04:26Make the necessary preparations

04:28to avoid possible accidents or dangers.

04:31Not only outside,

04:32but also inside our house.

04:34Aha!
