Marcos Jr. satisfied with earthquake victim aid in Cebu

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. expressed satisfaction with the government's progress in aiding victims of the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck Cebu on September 30.

During his second visit to Bogo City, the epicenter of the earthquake, Marcos noted that all families whose homes were damaged have been provided with temporary shelters, such as tents.

He confirmed that these tents are being replaced with sturdier modular shelters, with the Philippine Red Cross providing most of the tents.

Marcos inspected the Bayanihan Village in San Remigio, an interagency project providing temporary shelters, and noted the presence of child and women-friendly spaces.

He assured that the government will continue its efforts to ensure the well-being and needs of the affected Cebuanos are met.

Marcos also extended his gratitude to all first responders, volunteers, government agencies, and commended the Philippine Red Cross, led by former senator Richard Gordon, for their commendable efforts and initiatives.
