Government starts sending aid and spearheading rescue operations for Bicol
Amid the onslaught of Severe Tropical Storm Kristine on October 25, the government of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. started sending aid and commenced rescue operations in the affected area. The government vowed to continue to help and aid.
“I make this pledge to our people: Help is on the way. It will come by land, air, and even by sea. I have ordered the full mobilization of available AFP personnel and resources which can be committed to relief operations.
Other uniformed agencies such as the PNP, BFP and the Philippine Coast Guard are likewise placed under that status. I have ordered them to deploy vehicles, aircraft, boats, ships, and all other transportation assets for, first rescue, and then relief and rehabilitation.”
