He directed the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to guarantee that assistance reaches all affected individuals.

The President also instructed the Department of Health (DOH) to deploy medical teams to evacuation centers to monitor the health and safety of evacuees.

Currently, 71 roads remain impassable in Central Luzon and the Cordillera Administrative Region.
