00:0020... at some point, Yolanda is only a Category 2, 1, tapos Category 2 hurricane.

00:11Within 24 hours, it was a Category 5 hurricane, which is a new categorization, by the way, for super typhoons.

00:19Naging 5. The same thing with Odette.

00:2224 hours before it hit land, it was a typhoon, it was a signal number 1.

00:28By the time it reached us, within 24 hours, it was a typhoon.

00:33That's why, Odette.

00:34Karina, the same thing.

00:36Enteng, the same thing.

00:38And that's why we have to stay conscious of the weather systems that are developing that are now approaching the country.

00:49So, we have to have a more dynamic assessment.

00:56This is no longer a set piece.

01:01Okay, there's a typhoon, we'll let it pass, we'll go in.

01:05It's not like that anymore.

01:07We'll go back, we'll withdraw.

01:09It's not like that anymore.

01:10Of course, we will take care of the people who have been victims of the typhoon.

01:17But we have to watch what's coming.

01:19Because if we start rebuilding and then it will be destroyed, it will be a waste.

01:28We won't be able to use it.

01:30But it will cost us a lot because it's an emergency.

01:33So we have to be a little more dynamic in our analysis for this.

01:40So that we can maximize our resources because it's always lacking.

01:46So, we have to make the best of it.

01:48We have to make the most of what we have.

01:51All right. Okay.
