Drowning Prevention Month is an important occasion that is held every month of May to raise awareness
00:06
about the dangers of drowning and the steps that can be taken to prevent it.
00:13
If that's the case, Audrey, let's invite the director of Easy Swim Philippine Life Saving Society,
00:18
Mr. Carlito San Pedro, to give important information
00:22
about the ways to protect ourselves and our loved ones in life
00:27
from accidents and drowning.
00:30
Good morning. Welcome to Rising Star Philippines, Coach Kaloy.
00:32
Coach Kaloy, good morning.
00:34
Good morning, everyone.
00:35
Thank you for this opportunity.
00:37
Thank you for being with us this morning.
00:39
Drowning is really important, especially during Holy Week.
00:44
A lot of people are on vacation.
00:47
A lot of people really want to go out.
00:50
The top one destination is Bajo Cuatro.
00:55
We Filipinos are archipelagos.
00:57
There are a lot of beautiful places to go.
00:59
It's a vacation for Filipinos.
01:01
First of all, can you explain to us
01:04
the importance of Drowning Prevention Month
01:07
and how it can help the communities?
01:10
Number one, what we're doing right now,
01:15
it's still early, but before Holy Week,
01:18
we can give simple tips to avoid it.
01:25
It can be a habit, like this platform,
01:29
Rise and Shine,
01:30
that before the day of Holy Week comes,
01:34
we can prevent drowning in our country.
01:42
Alright, what are the main signs of accidents and drowning?
01:45
And what is the help of your group here?
01:47
Usually, it's a lack of knowledge.
01:52
Second, we have certain limits
01:56
that we can only stay in the water for a long time
01:58
because not all of us can swim.
02:04
And third, it's hard to say or avoid
02:08
drinking alcohol.
02:11
Wow, that's amazing.
02:13
It's like an easy life, right?
02:17
After drinking, you go to the beach,
02:19
and you're like, where is he?
02:21
Sometimes, it's late at night,
02:23
or early in the morning because you're drunk.
02:25
I have a friend like that.
02:27
He's so drunk that he can't swim.
02:30
He jumped into a swimming pool that's too deep.
02:31
He needs to be saved, or else he'll be disgraced.
02:34
But have you ever experienced drowning?
02:37
No, I took a swimming lesson before
02:40
in our school.
02:41
That's why I'm like a mermaid in the sea.
02:44
I've experienced it before.
02:45
What happened?
02:46
I had to swim.
02:47
Oh, I see.
02:48
When you're young, you swim in the sea.
02:51
You don't want to go out.
02:53
That's why I had to swim.
02:54
It's hard to move around when you're sick.
02:57
So, you had to swim with an Odrigo Reseta.
02:59
Of course, we're all drunk.
03:01
Here's my coach.
03:02
Okay.
03:03
Sir, how does your group help
03:05
in these kinds of incidents
03:07
where you have to do information dissemination?
03:09
What do you do?
03:11
Most of the time, we talk to LGUs,
03:14
government agencies.
03:16
We give seminars and symposiums
03:19
in schools
03:20
so that the knowledge of Filipinos
03:24
about the drowning prevention program can be expanded.
03:27
We also have private sessions
03:31
so that the scope can be expanded.
03:33
And of course, as a coach,
03:35
like me,
03:36
one of the things I build
03:39
is to train coaches like me
03:42
so that the scope can be expanded.
03:45
Okay.
03:46
So, you're already teaching in school?
03:48
Because there are instructors
03:53
in the beaches of the Philippines, right?
03:55
They give instructions
03:57
on what to do
03:58
when you go to the beaches.
04:00
But here, despite your efforts,
04:02
why is the number of cases of drowning
04:04
in our country still high?
04:07
Like I said earlier,
04:09
sometimes, because of the excitement,
04:13
because of what's in our minds,
04:15
more on fun,
04:16
when they see water,
04:17
even if they can't see the bottom composition of the water
04:20
or the depth,
04:21
they just jump and jump.
04:23
There.
04:23
Is there a lack of lifeguards
04:25
in the beaches of our country?
04:27
To be honest, there are only a few.
04:30
And the others are already abroad.
04:32
They're disappearing.
04:33
So, that's what our group does.
04:36
We also train lifesavers
04:39
throughout the country
04:41
so that they can help
04:43
people who just want to have fun
04:46
in the swimming pool.
04:47
That's what we really need to focus on right now.
04:52
Okay.
04:53
What are the personal tips
04:54
that you can give to our RSVPs,
04:57
including the parents,
04:58
so that their children can still be safe
05:00
around the water?
05:01
Ah, number one,
05:04
during the lunchtime,
05:07
this is the time
05:09
when the children need to be watched.
05:11
Because we know that during lunchtime,
05:13
especially during outings,
05:15
we're all hungry.
05:17
And sometimes,
05:18
there's no supervision
05:19
or direct supervision for the children.
05:22
So, that time,
05:23
that's the highest percentage
05:25
that a child or a person can drown.
05:29
Because everyone is really awake to eat.
05:31
But the child doesn't know.
05:33
He's already running around in the swimming pool.
05:34
And of course...
05:35
Yes, that's right.
05:37
Because the father is already asleep.
05:39
The father is already asleep.
05:40
And the mother...
05:41
And the mother is getting irritable.
05:44
She's already running around in the water.
05:47
She doesn't know how to swim.
05:49
And she's still a child.
05:50
And we're still in school
05:52
watching the ocean.
05:53
Yes, it's really lacking.
05:55
So, I hope that more people like us
05:59
will support this kind of program
06:01
so that we can be more ground-free
06:03
in the Philippines
06:05
when the time comes.
06:07
Do you save the hearts
06:09
that want to drown?
06:11
That's different.
06:12
That's a different kind of drowning.
06:14
We have a friend like that.
06:16
It's a shame that he's not here.
06:17
His name is AJ.
06:19
Aside from the swimming lessons,
06:20
what are the other safety measures
06:22
that should be taught to the public,
06:24
especially to those who are not used to
06:25
or know how to swim?
06:28
We have what's called an aqua code.
06:30
It's an international aqua code.
06:32
We have what's called a go-together.
06:34
Every time we have someone with us
06:36
or we have a body,
06:38
every time we go to any kind of body of water
06:41
so that in case of an emergency,
06:44
we have what's called a reach-to-rescue.
06:47
If we say reach-to-rescue,
06:49
if there are two of you,
06:50
automatically, something can happen to one of you.
06:53
There might be an accident
06:55
or an accident.
06:56
So, we have a little hope that we can be rescued.
07:03
We have what's called a reach-to-rescue.
07:05
Even if we're not that good at swimming,
07:07
we have what's called a non-contact rescue.
07:10
Some people think that when it comes to life-saving,
07:13
you have to be good at swimming.
07:16
But most people don't know how to swim.
07:19
So, what we do is we teach non-contact rescue.
07:23
Using a towel,
07:25
how to reach the drowning person
07:27
when you're not the one holding the person.
07:30
That's the simple technique that can help.
07:34
And of course, we have what's called a stay-afloat.
07:37
We get anything that floats
07:41
that we can hold or put inside the drowning person's t-shirt.
07:47
Because not everyone has life vests
07:49
or life jackets in the resorts.
07:51
Especially if the victim is far away.
07:56
So, we can use an empty water bottle
08:00
that we can give to the drowning person.
08:03
Those are the simple tips that we can give.
08:07
Does first aid come with it?
08:09
Yes, it does.
08:12
What we call in the drowning prevention program
08:16
that we do throughout the Philippines,
08:18
is what we call,
08:20
what to do before you drown.
08:22
This is a huge platform of Rise and Shine
08:24
for those who are about to drown.
08:26
What to do while you're drowning.
08:28
And after you drown,
08:30
that's where the first aid comes in.
08:32
Like CPR.
08:34
So, that's where the drowning prevention program
08:38
will go around to save every Filipino.
08:40
Alright, on that note.
08:41
Thank you so much, Coach Kaloy,
08:43
for your important insights and tips
08:45
about this topic.
08:46
Let's welcome the director of
08:48
Easy Swim Philippine Life Saving Society,
08:51
Mr. Carlitos San Pedro.
08:52
Thank you so much.
08:53
Thank you so much, Coach Kaloy.
08:54
Thank you so much.
