“Patuloy pa rin po tayo na naghahanda ng mga karagdagang family foodpacks para sa ating mga evacuees. Maari po kasi na yung ilang ating mga kababayan ay manatili pa na mas matagal na mga ilang araw pa sa ating evacuation centers dahil sa dami na naitala natin na nasirang kabahayan dahil sa bagyo,” said NDRRMC spokesperson, Mina Marasigan.
(We continue to prepare additional family foodpacks for the evacuees. It is possible that many of them may have to remain a while longer at evacuation centers due to the large number of damaged houses.)
