“We have worked with PAGASA on the modeling where it seems going to, it seems at this point, since it’s very early. It’s going to affect Regions II, Regions I, all the way to Batanes,” he said. “Right now, the average will be around 30,000 to 50,000 in those two regions, independently of each other. It has been prepositioned. But we are doubling it up. The goal here is to double it before the end of business tomorrow,” Gatchalian said, adding they will start mobilizing as early as this weekend.
