00:00The province of Albay is now a part of the National Day of Mourning
00:04as a tribute to the declaration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
00:08who is far from the victims of Hurricane Christine.
00:11Gary Carillo of Radyo Pilipinas with the national news.
00:17The government of Pandalawigan ng Albay gathered early in front of its Capitol
00:23for the traditional Monday Flag Ceremony.
00:27The program started with a harmonious dance from the youth.
00:32Next is the peaceful singing of Lupang Hinirang
00:35and the rising of the Philippine flag in the half-mast.
00:39The members of the government of Pandalawigan
00:43joined in their prayers at the end of the ceremony.
00:46This is a symbol of solidarity on National Day of Mourning
00:49for the victims of Hurricane Christine.
00:52In accordance with Proclamation No. 728
00:54declared by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.,
00:58National Day of Mourning is a tribute to the families
01:03of the victims of Hurricane Christine.
01:05According to Albay Acting Governor Glenda Ong Bongao,
01:08seven people were affected by landslides and floods
01:13like Hurricane Christine in the province of Albay
01:16and they were immediately helped.
01:18Before the landslides, we were instructed by the PSWDO
01:25to cover all casualties so that we can provide 10,000 as help.
01:32It's a small amount but I know it's a big help to them.
01:37Albay is now focusing on the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Plan
01:42for the needs of the residents affected by the floods.
01:46Our Comprehensive Rehabilitation Plan is what we are building
01:51to provide to the national government
01:54for the needs that we cannot provide.
01:56But we can continue to provide immediate needs up to now.
02:02I would like to thank the DSWD
02:05because they continue to provide food packs
02:08even though some are no longer in the evacuation center.
02:12But I know that they still need such help.
02:16So let's not worry because the Provincial Government of Albay,
02:20the LGUs, and especially the National Government are here.
02:25The schools in the province are now back to face-to-face classes.
