00:00It was the mother of all hurricanes and the annals of recorded weather that taught the nation one unforgettable lesson.

00:06Pay heed to weather advisories and warnings.

00:09Hurricane Haiyan, aka Typhoon Yolanda, hit the country with a force of 160 miles per hour winds

00:16and left in its wake a city razed to the ground by wind and water

00:20and a body bag count of over 7,000 helpless, powerless and lifeless men, women and children.

00:27On the 11th anniversary of its deadly passage, the President led the nation in honoring the memory of those who died

00:33and urged the country to never stay complacent in observance of disaster preparedness, as our Kenneth Paciente reports.

00:45Eleven years have passed.

00:47The country was hit by what might be the most powerful combo of wind and rain in the annals of recorded weather,

00:52Super Typhoon Yolanda.

00:54With its strength and fury, an estimated 7,000 of lives were lost and extensive damage to crops and property.

01:01But even in years past, this will remain forever etched in the minds of so many.

01:06Thus, on the anniversary of this calamity, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. sent a message.

01:11According to the President, the country's experience with Yolanda should serve as a lesson for responding to current calamities like Typhoons Christine and Leon.

01:19He said, this is the best way to commemorate those who perished during Typhoon Yolanda.

01:24As one of the country's most exposed to calamities, the President said there is no room for complacency.

01:29Instead, he insisted on strengthening efforts to reduce the impact of disasters, which he said is aggravated by climate change.

01:37He also said greater focus should be placed on local governments that first respond to calamities and ensure the swift distribution of aid to those affected.

01:45The President said, quick recovery for those affected and strengthening their resilience must not be forgotten.

01:50He pointed out that Yolanda served as a lesson in improving the country's response to calamities.

01:55Since then, defenses against calamities have been strengthened, which our countrymen have matched with greater care and compassion, especially for those affected.

02:04The community spirit of Bayanihan has also helped ease the suffering of victims and expedited their recovery.

02:10He also remembers and cites the support from other countries, which helped the nation heal quickly from this tragic disaster.

02:17The President assured that all unfulfilled promises from the past for Yolanda's rehabilitation are responsibilities that current administration will fully assume.

02:25Although no one is directly at fault, many of these promises remain unfulfilled, and the government will ensure that any debts owned by the state to affected people and areas will be properly fulfilled.

02:36According to the latest data from the National Housing Authority, over 52,000 housing units have been completely constructed under the Yolanda Permanent Housing Project, while nearly 6,000 units are still under construction.

02:48Kenneth Paciente, from the National TV Network, for a new and better Philippines.
