Marcos vows to oversee recovery efforts in calamity-hit areas
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. pledged to personally visit and supervise the recovery and rehabilitation of areas devastated by recent typhoons.
He made this commitment while distributing government aid in Laurel, Batangas, a locality severely impacted by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine.
Marcos stated that the response in Batangas would be replicated in all other areas affected by typhoons Kristine and Leon.
He emphasized that the government's response would match the extent of the damage caused by the typhoons, and their efforts to help the affected communities would be equally strong.
The President conveyed that he does not solely depend on reports, particularly in disaster response scenarios.
He promised to personally inspect rehabilitation efforts and oversee the delivery of aid to the affected provinces, even as assistance continues to flow.
