00:00Six menacing weather disturbances have barreled through and battered mostly the entire Luzon mainland for a little over three weeks.
00:08A string of serious and killer calamities have worn down the mental health of the hard-hit victims
00:15and the army of rescuers, volunteers, and first responders keeping them safe, protected, and alive.
00:22BTV's Patrick Luzuz tells us more.
00:25Due to the effects of successive typhoons Nica, Ofel, and Pepitoc that have battered the country,
00:36around 1.1 million individuals have been affected.
00:40Despite the continuous distribution of aid, the DSWD assures that funds are sufficient,
00:46with a standby fund of P1 billion for food and non-food items ready to tap into.
00:53Which is stockpiled already all over the country and prepositioned so that in times of disasters like this,
01:02it is ready for the affected families of the country.
01:09Funds are being collected because we know that these disasters that we are experiencing are continuous.
01:18According to the Office of Civil Defense, the government is also assisting those experiencing typhoon fatigue
01:25through the help of health workers.
01:27Besides the typhoon victims, rescuers have also been affected.
01:32Our workers are constantly checking their health conditions so that they can maintain their health.
01:43Meanwhile, no typhoon is expected to form until next week,
01:47but PAGASA will immediately issue an advisory if there are any changes.
01:52However, the possibility remains high for typhoons to make landfall in the country until the end of the year
02:00due to the likely development of La Niña and the Northeast Monsoon or Amihan.
02:05It is almost time for onset.
02:08It will push down all tropical cyclones in the Pacific Oceans.
