00:00 The floods are not yet completely over,
00:02 but some teachers have already started cleaning their classrooms.
00:06 They are also appealing for help, especially in chasing the flood.
00:10 Oscar Oida was there.
00:12 Maybe Teacher Christine's face is the reason
00:18 why the books and modules that were submerged in the flood are being saved.
00:23 The flood was accompanied by the flood of water entering the Paumbong Central School, San Roque, Bulacan.
00:31 All the teachers are also pouring their efforts into these materials.
00:37 Then you will see that the flood was just a loan.
00:40 Sometimes, it's a personal money of the teacher.
00:44 The part of our salary that we will still give is bigger.
00:49 For a long time, there were puddles of water in the remaining water in the school.
00:56 And now, it's a bit more.
00:58 They are now twice as good at cleaning.
01:01 Almost the same as the one that was used by the Pinalagdan Elementary School in Paumbong.
01:08 Although some of the classrooms have been cleaned,
01:11 their hallway is still clean.
01:15 To enter the classrooms, the teachers are passing by improvised.
01:20 Many things were also damaged, especially the chairs and tables.
01:25 We are trying to save the chairs.
01:29 Sometimes, the children are already jumping on the desks.
01:34 And because the school will be open on August 29,
01:37 we are still nervous. We don't know where the children will get their chairs.
01:42 The teachers in Paumbong have agreed that in the new school year,
01:47 they can no longer request for expenses in the school's maintenance.
01:52 Even so...
01:54 We hope that we can help here to maintain our school.
01:58 We will do our best for the children.
02:02 DepEd said that they have already spent 2 billion pesos
02:06 to maintain more than 300 schools in the country.
02:10 As soon as someone comes to us, we immediately take action to clean it.
02:20 But even if they don't reach the entrance...
02:23 There is a contingency plan for each school.
02:26 We can shift classes so that the face-to-face is still there.
02:30 We also have modules that will be left.
