00:00Meanwhile, let's update on the relief operations of DSWD to our countrymen who are affected by the bad weather.

00:06We will talk to DSWD spokesperson, Asek Irene Dumlao.

00:11Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali. This is Connie Sison.

00:14Good morning, Connie. Good morning to all who are watching this program.

00:19Yes, Asek. How are we here in the relief operation efforts of DSWD?

00:26Are there areas that we haven't been able to help yet or have we already covered all of them?

00:32Well, Ma'am Connie, we are still sending family food packs and non-food items to the affected areas,

00:40particularly to NCR, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, and also to Mimaropa.

00:49As we speak, Ma'am Connie, more than 600,000 family food packs have been prepositioned to LGUs.

00:58Some have already been picked up by the LGUs. Some are ongoing delivery.

01:04In terms of, if we have reached the month, yes, all requests of LGUs have been given.

01:13As I said, there are ongoing transport of goods from our National Resource Operations Center to local government units.

01:24But since the other day, Ma'am Connie, we have coordinated with the local government units,

01:32the DRM Focals and the CSWDOs just to ensure a seamless, efficient distribution of goods, Ma'am Connie.

01:40As for your monitoring, what are the areas that most need your help?

01:48Well, of course, aside from the National Capital Region,

01:51one of the areas that we are focusing on is Central Luzon, particularly in Bulacan and Bataan

01:57because we have also been reported by evacuation centers to evacuate to their homes because of the flood in their area.

02:07Many have also declared a state of calamity in their areas.

02:12My question is, is there any additional help that the DSWD will provide?

02:18Because we are still in the response phase, most of what we are delivering are family food packs and non-food items

02:27just to meet the needs of our affected countrymen.

02:32But the rapid damage assessment and needs analysis of the DSWD-QRD is ongoing in coordination with the LGUs.

02:41In this manner, Connie, we will look at the situation on the ground.

02:46Is it possible for us to infuse additional interventions such as cash for work if it needs to be cleaned in their community

02:53or other interventions under the assistance to individuals in crisis situation.

02:58This is what we will look at as we enter the recovery phase but it is very important that we are conducting the ARDANA

03:06so that we can know what additional assistance may be extended.

03:10Yes, always in coordination, of course, with the local government or provincial government.

03:15As I mentioned earlier, are there any reminders from the DSWD to groups or individuals

03:24who are initiating a feeding program or who are collecting donations for those in need?

03:31Well, Ma'am Connie, the coordination with the local government units is very critical

03:37in case you want to provide additional assistance in their area.

03:42On the part of the DSWD, you may get in touch with us to help us

03:49considering that we already have a call for volunteers for repacking of our family food box

03:56in the National Resource Operations Center in Chapel Road, Pasay.

03:59So if you are interested or your group is interested, kindly proceed to NROC in Pasay City.

04:04That's at Chapel Road so that we can orient our personnel.

04:08For donations, you may also get in touch with the DSWD through our official communication platforms.
