00:00Today is the start of our financial assistance distribution.
00:04Of course, we came here to address the needs of our kababayans, of our compatriots here in Sinemay, particularly in
00:17Saipan and Tinian.
00:19We understand that these are the islands that were really devastated by super-typhons in Lapu.
00:30We started today and will be distributing assistance until Saturday, until resources are available.
00:46We are giving $100 to each eligible or FW or overseas Filipino workers here in Saipan.
00:56I would like to tell our kababayans that the Department of Migrant Workers and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration are
01:06here in CNMI to provide assistance to those who were affected by super-typhoon Sinlaku.
01:15We would like to assure everybody that for as long as we have the resources to distribute, we will distribute
01:27them.
01:27What can you say about this financial assistance from the Philippine government today?
01:32It's pretty good. They're very fast, they're very attentive, and the line is fast as well.
01:38It was really a big help, you know.
01:40A hundred dollars?
01:42Pretty sure, yes, yeah.
01:43How about the other aid from the U.S. government, CNMI government, were you able to receive those?
01:50Unfortunately, not yet. I'm still waiting.
01:52So this is the first time?
01:52This is my first time I got something.
01:54So you're very happy?
01:55I'm very happy.
01:56I just want to thank our government for this initiative to provide financial assistance to us overseas Filipino workers.
02:09And this is a big help, especially now that almost all of us are struggling after this super-typhoon Sinlaku.
02:25Yeah, we're very thankful and blessed that our government blessed us with this kind of financial assistance.
02:35It will be very helpful for us because, you know, the typhoon Sinlaku hit us very hard here in Saipa.
02:45Thank you very much because we are affected with the Sinlaku typhoon and we really need some assistance.
02:51So thank you for OWA for giving us a hundred dollars.
02:55It's a big help for us, especially us that we are the big thing, the typhoon of the super-typhoon
03:01Sinlaku.
03:01It's a big help for us as overseas Filipino workers.
03:05So thank you to the Philippine government for assisting us for this from the overseas welfare assistance.
03:14At least we got something.
03:18This is a big help for us, especially this one can buy our goods.
03:24And then what damage from Sinlaku, your house or your car or your property did you sustain?
03:31Oh, our house is totally like the roof, nothing and flooded inside the house.
03:37And until now, we don't have any support from Pima or Red Cross.
03:43It's only here in our government.
03:45Thanks for our government.
04:15Bye.
