*Music: It’s Raining Men*

Jeff: Good Morning, class!
All: Good morning, Sire!
Jeff: It’s really raining cats and dogs outside *shivers*
Grethel: Totally, Sire!
Jeff: Let’s listen to the news for a while, yah?
All: Definitely!
*Opens radio*
SFX: Good morning, Tagum! May Breaking News gud kami! Like malakas jud
masyado yung ulan… ORANGE RAINFALL ALERT. May LPA man gud malapit sa

magflashflood gani… Okay?
Jeff: *sings* Humidity’s rising. Barometer’s getting low.
John, Webs, Ace: *sings* According to all sources.
Triad: *sings* The street’s not the place to go!
Greth, Mary, Faith: *sings* ‘Cause today for the 10th time
Jaybee, Gleze: *sings* Just about half-past eight
Dave, Jhon: *sings* For billionth time in history
All: *sings* It’s gonna start raining hard.
All: *sings* It’s raining men, oh my goodness! It’s raining men, real hard! It’s
raining men, oh my goodness! It’s raining men, oh men! It’s raining men, winds are
blowing! It’s raining men, real hard! It’s raining men, something’s broken! It’s

Jeff: I want all of you guys to always be ready and alert.
Gleze: Definitely, sire! Especially in times of unexpected floods!
All: Flashfloods?
Mary: Sir Clark, has already tackled flash floods right? It is a rapid flooding of low-
lying areas!
Jhon: Yeah, like washes, rivers, dry lakes and basins.
Ace: It may be caused by heavy rain associated with a severe thunderstorm,
hurricane, and tropical storm…
Althea: OR meltwater from ice or snow flowing over snowfields.
Jaybee: Exactly!
All: Right, sire?
Jeff: Yah… flash… floods…
Dave: What’s the matter, Sire?
*Music: When I Was Your Man*
Jeff: *sings* Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When all of you talk about it, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear that name
It all just sounds like…
All: *sings* ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo
*Flashback starts, Mom: Althea, Dad: Jhon, Daughter: Grethel, Son: Ace*
Jeff: *sings* Mm, too slow, too dumb to realize
That I should’ve killed the powers
And held your hand
Should have listened to the highers
When we had the chance
Take us to the center
But all I wanted to do was stay
Now my heart is breaking, cause she’s resting in another realm
*Flashback ends*
Webster: We’re sorry for your loss, Sire.
Jeff: Thanks, class! What matters now is your safety! You have to know
PAGASA’s color coded rainfall advisories to notify us of possible floods and other
disasters.
*Music: Red and Black*
Jaybee: I know that, Sire! *sings* Yellow… Heavy rains attack!
Gleze: *sings* Orange… Intense rains we foresee
Jaybee: *sings* Red… Torrential rains, they come
Jeff: *sings* Nay! Floods are possible
All: *sings* Yellow… Monitor and glance
Orange… Alert and vigilant
Red… Evacuate, move out
Nay! We all must be prepared!
Grethel: Indeed! We all should be prepared especially now when it’s raining hard!
*Music: I Can*
Grethel: *sings* Caused by rain, or by snow… overflow, storm surges, debris.
Althea, Mary: *sings* Floods can cause damage and… landslide, outages, loss of lives.
All: *sings* Be informed, plan ahead… Take action to avoid such death.
Disaster is everywhere, stay protected until the end…
What took us so long that we din’t see
How lucky we are cause we know these
These information for our safety
What took us so long that we din’t feel
We can help others, a help so real
What took us so long? But now we know!
Caused by rain, or by snow… overflow, storm surges, debris.
Floods can cause damage and… landslide, outages, loss of lives.
Be informed, plan ahead… Take action to avoid such death.
Disaster is everywhere, stay protected until the end.
