00:00So, all government agencies are here to help.

00:06I will introduce them to you.

00:08This is Secretary Rex Gatchalian.

00:11He was the first one to come here.

00:14He is in the DSWD.

00:16He is always the first one to come when there is a news of a typhoon

00:22or when areas are hit.

00:25He is also here to assess the damage to agriculture.

00:30Here is the DA Secretary, Department of Agriculture Secretary,

00:34Secretary Chico Laurel.

00:37He is also here to assess.

00:40We can already see the damage to flood control.

00:45He is currently working on a plan

00:48to make sure that if there is another typhoon,

00:57it will not be destroyed again.

00:59Here is the DPWH, Public Works and Highways Secretary,

01:03Secretary Manny Buñuel.

01:05He is also here.

01:09But, Secretary, since we have another walk later,

01:13here is the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture and Reform.

01:20He will give the title later.

01:22This is Secretary Conrado Estrella.

01:25Our DILG Secretary is also here.

01:30Because of all that we are doing,

01:33we cannot do it if the national government is the only one working.

01:39Especially the first responders.

01:41Only the local government units are the first responders.

01:45Whatever we do in every place,

01:49we always coordinate very closely with the local government.

01:54We know that you are the first responders

01:57and you are the ones who know where the problem is

02:03and how to fix it.

02:07That is why it is very important that our DILG Secretary,

02:13Secretary John Vick Remulia, is here.

02:19The other Cabinet Secretary that we have with us today

02:22has his head in the clouds

02:25because he is thinking about how to return the electricity

02:28to all the different places.

02:30We know that he is in a hurry.

02:33He is doing everything

02:35to return all our services to the people.

02:39Our Department of Energy Secretary,

02:41Secretary Polutilla.

02:46There are many other agencies that are working with us.

02:52If you look at it,

02:54it is not only the DSWD that we are hoping for.

02:57It is not only the NDRMC for disaster response.

03:03What we are doing is a whole-of-government approach.

03:07The entire government,

03:09not just one department,

03:11not just two departments,

03:13but the entire government,

03:15is helping to bring help

03:19to our fellow countrymen

03:21who are in need of victims

03:23of these disasters.

03:25That is why,

03:27if you look at it,

03:29there are many agencies

03:31and let us not forget

03:33our private sector

03:35that is helping.

03:37The private sector,

03:39the businessmen,

03:41especially the big businessmen,

03:43the rich people,

03:45for God's sake,

03:47they are helping.

03:49That is why we are thanking them

03:51for the help they are giving

03:53because we can see their pain

03:55and their love for the people.

03:57That is why all of this

03:59is what we will do.

04:01From now on,

04:03we will continue to distribute

04:05relief goods

04:07until

04:09our fellow countrymen

04:11are no longer in need.

04:13Our fellow countrymen.

04:15Our fellow countrymen.

04:17Continuously.

04:19Until you can go back

04:21to where you live

04:23and you can
