President Marcos ensures immediate aid for Bicol
The national government has allocated P130 million in aid to the Bicol Region, which recently experienced severe flooding due to Severe Tropical Storm Kristine.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. personally released the funds, designating P50 million for Albay province, P30 million for Naga City, and another P50 million for Camarines Sur.
During his visit to Naga, President Marcos assured residents that adequate relief supplies, including food packs and hygiene kits, are available for those affected by the storm.
Severe Tropical Storm Kristine has already exited the Philippine area of responsibility, though it impacted over five million people nationwide.
Meanwhile, the state weather bureau is monitoring Tropical Storm Leon, which is currently far from the Philippine landmass but may bring Signal No. 1 conditions to Extreme Northern Luzon and parts of Cagayan Valley and Bicol by Sunday night.
