  • PRRD added that the government is doing its best to provide assistance in the form of shelters, relief goods, financial aid and post-disaster counseling.
  • PRRD instructed the Coast Guard and the Air Force to use their respective vessels in providing assistance wherever needed, but have cautioned them to remain vigilant of the strong winds.
  • PRRD responded to his critics who are claiming that he is not doing anything and said that he recently delivered the Philippine message at the 37th ASEAN Summit.

    • He was also advised that many officials are already on ground but there is only one President.
  • PRRD shared that his main concern is the life and well-being of the people, and wants to go out to swim with them to help them during this time, but unfortunately, he is not allowed to do so.
    • He clarified that he is not distancing himself from the situation. In fact, he wants to be there in person, but authorities around him are preventing him as it risks his own life.
  • PRRD explained further that he wants to help, be near the people, and share their grief and agony.
  • PRRD ended his address by saying that he does not care if he contracts COVID-19. If he is able to survive it, he will simply share his experience.
