00:00 The amount of aid that the government is distributing to the affected people of El Rino has reached more than P1 billion.
00:07 In the latest data, the amount of aid allocated to agriculture has already exceeded P2 billion.
00:14 It is possible that there are 20 more places that are under the State of Calamity.
00:20 That is what Clay Zalfardilla reported.
00:22 Almost 20 local governments have already declared the State of Calamity due to the effects of El Nino,
00:31 including some towns in Oriental and Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, Romblon, Ifogao, Antique and Zamboanga City.
00:39 According to the Task Force El Nino, some LGUs have already declared the State of Calamity.
00:45 According to the Department of Agriculture, the amount of aid allocated to agriculture has already exceeded P2.63 billion.
00:52 We have heard of other provinces that have declared the State of Calamity, but it needs to be included in the criteria.
01:02 What are those criteria? The population should be affected by 15%, and the livelihood by 30%.
01:10 The government's help is already being given under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
01:17 The amount of aid allocated to those affected by El Nino has already exceeded P1.1 billion.
01:24 Not only the farmers benefited, but also their families.
01:29 Among the aid allocated, there is financial aid, food pack and food items for farming.
01:36 The damage of P2.63 billion cannot be offset by the aid allocated to the farmers.
01:43 But the poverty of the people affected by El Nino is still being reduced.
01:50 The farmers are the ones affected, but their families are the ones affected.
01:57 The individuals affected are half a million individuals, not just the farmers. So the aid allocated is for their immediate families.
02:06 At the end of April, the government expected that 80 provinces in the country will be affected by El Nino, but the government is already prepared.
02:17 The aid allocated is not the same as the aid allocated to the farmers.
02:21 The budget of the task force El Nino comes from all the principal agencies.
02:28 There is an agency regular budget and a quick response fund.
