President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has assured Filipinos that he has been intently monitoring the effects of Typhoon EgayPH in the Philippines even when he was in Malaysia for a state visit, noting that key officials have been reporting to him directly.
According to the Chief Executive, the top concern now for the government is the clearing of roads and pathways so that state assets can move in to areas that may need relief or rescue operations.
Marcos — who hails from Ilocos Norte — said that he is familiar with the situation in the north, and has actually sent personnel and relief aid as pre-positioned assets in preparation for Egay. “I’m familiar with the situation in Ilocos Norte, for example, nagka-problema lang sa equipment pero nakabalik na. Most of them were also shut down on purpose as we do pagka may bagyo. So, pinabalik na pagka – iinspeksyunin lang ‘yung mga linya na walang naputol,” he added.
In Twitter, some users have revived the hashtag #NasaanAngPangulo, used to ask for past presidents’ whereabouts when they became missing in action during important events, or during calamities.Marcos’ cousin and House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez earlier asked affected residents to stay calm, assuring the public that help is on the way.
