00:57Department of Social Welfare and Development, or DSWD, Secretary Rex Gatchalian ordered more family food packs, or FFPs, be pre-positioned in northern Luzon.
01:06The DSWD chief says the agency has already anticipated the path of both Ophel and Pepito, so they saw the need to bring in more FFPs to their northern field offices.
