Marcos inspects DSWD's preparedness for Tropical Storm Crising

President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. inspected the Department of Social Welfare and Development's National Resource Operations Center in Pasay City on Friday to observe the preparation of food packs for areas affected by Tropical Storm Crising.

During his visit, accompanied by his son William Vincent and DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian, Marcos emphasized that government agencies are prepared to assist residents impacted by the storm, noting that 3 million family food packs have been prepositioned in over a thousand warehouses nationwide.

The President also inspected non-food items such as hygiene kits and family water filtration kits, highlighting the efficiency of mechanized operations at the DSWD warehouse which can produce up to 25,000 food packs daily.

DSWD has already begun distributing supplies to families affected by Crising-enhanced habagat in Cebu and Negros Occidental, while the Office of Civil Defense remains on red alert for potential impacts across the country due to heavy rains from the storm.
