00:00 One week before the school started, some schools in Bulacan were still flooded.
00:04 Some school materials were wet, so they can't be used anymore.
00:09 That's the first news of Jonathan Andal.
00:11 The flood was already colorful.
00:17 It's been three weeks since the flood hit Dona Damiana de Leon Macam Memorial Elementary School in Calumpit, Bulacan.
00:23 But teachers, parents and students who were in the school brigade still tried to save the school.
00:27 The walls were smashed, tables and chairs were swept away,
00:30 books and other items in the classroom were swept away,
00:33 the school board was thrown away, and the school boat was also swept away.
00:37 These are the books that were swept away.
00:39 They can't be used anymore because they are all wet and smelly.
00:44 And the materials that were swept away are here.
00:52 Look, they can't be used anymore because the modules are all smashed.
00:57 The Department of Education and DepEd said that they have buffer stocks of small books.
01:04 They are asked by the Bulacan School Division Office to return them when the inventory is finished
01:09 to the needs of the flooded schools there.
01:12 For the modules, Bulacan already received an emergency procurement and will be delivered on Friday.
01:17 For the flooded schools, students can have blended learning.
01:22 Teacher Evelyn is already arranging the modules that will be distributed on Tuesday.
01:26 Students in their school can shift or divide their time in the classroom.
01:32 Only 7 out of 25 classrooms were not flooded.
01:36 We will wait for about 2 weeks.
01:40 We just hope that the flood will be able to make it.
01:44 Christina, a 4th grader, is preparing to go to school.
01:47 The problem is that her 3 uniforms were wet.
01:51 So she will only be able to speak 2 words.
01:53 I will just wash them.
01:55 I don't have money to buy blouse.
02:01 Her cousin, Lian, a 3rd grader, was hit by a flooded tablet that she uses in her studies.
02:07 I hope someone will give me a tablet so I can use it in school.
