00:25Naomi, the Ad Interim Appointment of DILG Secretary John Vic Remulia
00:28has joined the Commission on Appointments Panel or the committee level.
00:31But before joining the committee level of the Commission on Appointments,
00:34Secretary John Vic Remulia was asked about the POGO.
00:37How can these people be shut down at the end of the year?
00:41The Ad Interim Appointment of DILG Secretary John Vic Remulia
00:43said that some POGOs are now doing something new.
00:46The biggest disguise that they are going through now
00:50is that they are applying for resorts
00:53and restaurants.
00:56So it is the power of the mayor to visit the establishments
01:01and make sure that what is going on is exactly what is intended.
01:07In the case of the flood and tsunami,
01:09one of the senators who was informed
01:11on how the DILG can help the local governments
01:14is that the flood and tsunami will be quick.
01:18This is what the DILG is doing according to Remulia.
01:21It is particular that Kalihim made an example
01:23of the government's quick response to the past flood.
01:28We gave daily briefers to the LGUs through the OCD.
01:32I would like to commend the province of Catanduanes and Cagayan
01:37and Aurora which were hit and Kamsur which were hit directly in the last typhoon.
01:42We gave a directive very early.
01:44We gave a directive Friday for a pre-emptive evacuations
01:49and the local government responded very well
01:52and they evacuated, especially in the province of Catanduanes
01:58which was hit by 5-meter storm surges which entered the province.
02:05We had zero casualties.
02:07Kamsur had zero casualties, Aurora had zero casualties,
02:11Quezon had zero casualties.
02:12And that was all as a result of pre-emptive measures which we took.
02:19At this point, the plenary session of the Commission on Appointments will start
02:27where the Ad Interim Appointment of Secretary Remulia will be held.
02:32Thank you, Daniel Manalastak.
