00:00On the instruction of our President, we first went here to assess the immediate needs.

00:07I talked to Gov for a good one hour.

00:10First, our assurance to him is that we will continue with the family food packs.

00:15If you can remember, before the typhoon hit, we had 10,000 family food packs prepositioned on the island.

00:20Now to sustain the efforts, we arranged an additional 45,000 family food packs every day until Saturday.

00:28After that, Gov and I talked.

00:30When they gave us the list, we arranged financial assistance for the people to be able to provide for their families.

00:37I also want to gladly report that because of the aggressive pre-emptive evacuation efforts of the province and DILG,

00:44there is zero casualty here in Catanduanes.

00:47It's something to be very proud of because the houses were destroyed, but nothing was lost.

00:52We also talked and relayed the request of the provincial government for more Tupac workers.

00:59We talked to the DOLE, and we also requested shelter assistance for Bisud.

01:04As the President said, all national government agencies are ready to help in the short term.
