Why PBBM has yet to declare a nationwide state of calamity due to ‘Carina’
The Metro Manila Council (MMC) has officially declared a state of calamity in the National Capital Region (NCR).
President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. stated that local chief executives will decide on declaring a state of calamity in Metro Manila, as they are best aware of their needs.
He clarified that declaring a state of calamity allows LGUs to access emergency funds when their own reserves are depleted.
Marcos emphasized that the national government intervenes only if three regions are simultaneously affected by a calamity, which then escalates it to a national disaster.
