00:00Expect disaster response and relief distribution to significantly speed up with the latest deal inked between the Department of Social Welfare Development and the new Clark International Airport Corporation that has eased logistical snags, as our Denise Osorio reports.
00:14The Department of Social Welfare and Development is stepping up its game with a faster and more efficient disaster response, thanks to its partnership with the BASIS Conversion and Development Authority and Clark International Airport Corporation.
00:28The DSWD's Regional Disaster Response Warehouse is being relocated to Clark, not only to dodge the traffic jams, but also because it's just a stone's throw away from the airport, which means relief goods can be off to their destinations in no time, reaching every corner of the country faster than ever.
00:45So kung may mangyari man sa ibang bahagi ng bansa, tinutulungan kami ng Air Force and dito yung airport nila napakalaki and can accommodate the C-130s na ginagamit namin to transport our goods.
00:57The former DFA building is also getting a makeover as the future command center and main storage hub for emergency supplies.
01:04According to SEAC, all it needs now is a bit of retrofitting.
01:08We want to make sure that it's a strategic location where you can launch your disaster response immediately and address yung mga needs ng Pilipino people.
01:17The new facility is expected to be up and running within 60 to 90 days as part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s marching orders to always keep the government disaster ready, come hell or high water.
