00:00Good afternoon to you, Asec Del.
00:02Good afternoon, Ninia.
00:04And we saw that the President is constantly traveling to different places, right?
00:09Now, he's here in Quezon.
00:12What is the President's role and does he really go to these places one by one?
00:17Yes, Ninia.
00:18If you notice, since yesterday, the President has been going to the places that have floods,
00:23like Navotas and Valenzuela.
00:30Earlier, he was in Quezon, and now, the President will be going to Rizal later.
00:36Of course, the President wants to see the personnel and know the effects of the recent floods
00:47here in the places, not just here in Metro Manila, but in the neighboring towns as well.
00:52And if we go back to Wednesday, I think the President went down to meet with the NDRRMC and all
01:04to check and find out what is really happening.
01:09We saw his dedication when it comes to these things.
01:13We saw that he's there on the ground.
01:16And he was accompanied by the people in the area.
01:19Yesterday, I saw that they were there on the side.
01:21And what was the reaction of the people when he went to their place?
01:28Yes.
01:28The videos that came out when the President arrived, I think in one of the evacuation centers,
01:35I'm not sure if it's in Navotas or in Valenzuela,
01:38that they were happy when they saw the President.
01:40I think somehow, it helped with their compassion.
01:46We know what's happening now.
01:48Somehow, they saw that the President is there doing something to help them.
01:55Yes, and the fact that he went to your place, that's a big thing for our residents.
02:01Especially those who went to Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela.
02:06Some of them still have their houses flooded.
02:11They can't go down, and they can't buy food.
02:15So, our fellow countrymen are hungry.
02:18Even if they can't afford to buy food.
02:20So, that's one of the things that our government is looking at,
02:25how they can get help.
02:27Yes, and the President gave a directive to the Department of Health
02:32to make sure that the health services are available to the people in the evacuation centers.
02:42Because it's important.
02:44Because there are people who died in the flood.
02:46There are also people who are suffering from diseases like this.
02:50Yes, not just leptospirosis,
02:52it's also prone to cancer, obesity, infectious diseases,
02:57and even diarrhea.
02:59It's also one of the things that the Department of Health is monitoring.
03:02We'll be joining the Department of Health later.
03:05So, look forward to the reminders from them.
03:09But thank you very much, Asic Dale.
03:11I just want to say that it's so nice to see our President going down
03:15and really meeting our fellow countrymen,
03:19especially those affected by the floods.
