00:00Early on, with Typhoon Tino barely inside the PAR, the President made himself crystal clear to his men and team on aid and relief distribution and disaster response.
00:10Make them swift and snappy sense a moment of delay.
00:14Even more government's calamity response policy includes proactive and or preemptive action, as our Kenneth Pashenta tells us in this report.
00:24The government's assistance to those affected by Typhoon Tino continues uninterrupted.
00:29Following the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., according to the Palace, the Department of Health immediately distributed hygiene kits, drinking water, and medicines to those severely affected by the Typhoon.
00:42Nakabantay din ang ahensya para tugunan ang pangangailangan medikal ng mga residente sa mga apektadong regiyon sa bansa.
00:50Nakamonitor din ang DOH sa panganib ng lahar mula sa vulkang Kanlaon that sa sunod-sunod na pagulan, dala ng bagyong tino.
00:59The DSWD also continues to distribute family food packs and ready-to-eat food items to the victims.
01:05In addition, financial assistance is also being given to the bereaved families of the victims of Typhoon Tino.
01:11Sa ulat ng DSWD, umabot sa 121,988 family food packs at 1,628 ready-to-eat food items ang kanilang na ipamahagi sa mga apektadong residente sa Calabarzon, Bicol, Western Visayas, Negros Island, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, at Caraga.
01:34The president and the government are also not looking at political colors during times of disaster.
01:40Kahit naman po hindi kaalyado ng Pangulo kung ahit anong kulay po niya na Pangulo po ay handang tumulong kahit po kanino.
01:46Basta po kinakailangan ng tulong ng gobyerno kahit ano po ang kanilang saan sila, kaalyado, tutulong ang Pangulo.
01:54In connection with the flooding experienced in Cebu, Malacanang said that the flood control projects in the province should be reviewed to see if they are functioning properly.
02:03Based on data obtained by the palace from the DPWH, a total of 343 flood control projects were completed from 2016 to 2022.
02:12This raises the question, why did flooding still occur when funds are allocated for these anti-flood projects in the province?
02:19Kung meron po siya pang mga alam, may mga facts, may mga data rin po, si Governor para dito mas na makakatulong sa ating gobyerno para mapanagot, ang dapat mapanagot, yan po ay welcome.
02:35So dapat din po itong makita dahil kung meron po 343 flood control projects noon paman, dapat po sana ay gumagana ito.
02:42So pag tulung-tulungan po natin mahanap, ang dapat na mapanagot sa mga maanumalyang flood control projects.
02:49The President has also directed government agencies to make Christmas and year-end celebrations simple and meaningful.
02:55This is in solidarity with the Filipino people who have faced a series of calamities,
03:00from earthquakes that shook the Visayas and Mindanao to the typhoons that struck various parts of the country.
03:06Paalala sa mga kawani ng gobyerno, mahalaga ang pagdiriwang ng Pasko na may pag-aalala sa kapwa nating patuloy na bumabangon at nagsisimulang muli mula sa maraming kalamidad na tumama sa bansa.
03:19Although there is no specific date yet, the palace said that President Marcos Jr. is set to visit Cebu.
