Duterte wants more 2022 funds for 'Odette' recovery

President Rodrigo Duterte wants more funds from the 2022 national budget to be allocated for Typhoon Odette recovery efforts.

During his visit to typhoon-affected areas in Cebu and Bohol on Sunday, Duterte emphasized the need for immediate government assistance, including rice, water, construction materials, and housing aid.

Duterte visited Leyte, Surigao, Bohol, and Cebu last weekend to assess the situation firsthand and promised to raise funds despite budget constraints due to the ongoing pandemic.
