“Nakita ko sa evacuation centers napaka congested. Yung sakit, kapag isa lang diyan ang magkasaki, kakalat ng napakabilis ‘yan,” PBBM said.
Meanwhile, he also assures that the national office will be in total support in providing the necessary medical needs of each evacuation area.
“Ang trabaho lang talaga sa national ay tiyakin na mayroong sapat na supply na mga gamit at gamot. And that's what we are doing now,” the President explained.
According to the NDRRMC, 2,733,646 individuals are already affected by the effects of the southwest monsoon, Tropical Cyclone Crising, Tropical Depression Dante, and Typhoon Emong.
