La Paz, Abra Mayor Joseph Sto. Niño "JB" Bernos on Thursday appealed to the national government to help strengthen the disaster response measures of local government units as he requested for additional firetrucks and ambulances for the quake-hit province.
"Hinihiling ko po na sana palakasin 'yung disaster response ng mga LGUs eh balita ko po from the BFP, they have brought 15 brand new firetrucks to Abra now, eh baka puwede po Mr. President iwan na lang po 'yung iba dito because of all municipalities in Abra, we have 16 fire stations, pero of that 16, apat lang po 'yung naka-top condition na firetrucks," he said.
"May Ilocano President na kami and we delivered 96% of the votes of Abra during the last election so tingin ko kami naman po ang maniningil ngayon..." Bernos said. Bernos reiterated that maybe it would be possible for Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos to leave the other assets. Abalos is also in Abra to check the situation there following the quake.
