00:00Southern Leyte, the national government headed by the OCDs, the PHEVOCs, are going to the
00:14ground now, so hopefully we could assess, refine assessment on the situation on the
00:22ground, and we will be endorsing recommendation on what we can do, and we have a talk with
00:32the PHEVOCs also, that their worries about the following earthquakes are not related,
00:42not correlated, so this is just a normal occurrence.
00:49But we have to be aware, the awareness level, we will have information dissemination at
00:55the same time, the preparedness of the people is really needed all the time, as the PHEVOCs
01:04have said, it's a wake-up call.
01:08But we have observed in the schools that they're really doing well in their drills, in the
01:15actual situation yesterday, they're doing well, so it's a good example that we're really
01:24implementing our drills, and of course, the community needs to be improved, the people
01:30at home, in our barangay.
01:32Yes, to our constituents, we are doing everything as a national government, and we are coordinating
01:42with the LGUs also, on what we can do, especially the emergency assistance for those who lost
01:50their homes, their livelihoods, those who are injured, we can do emergency assistance.
01:59What assistance can the province provide?
02:03Coming from the district, I'm a congressman, so I already have talked with DSWD Regional
02:11Director Grace Ubong, I already contacted Secretary Gatchalian also, so we will be endorsing,
02:20after our thorough assessment now on the ground, we will be endorsing what we can do.
