00:06Mag-regional, it's because naka-sabay-sabay.
00:09Mag-iging calamity sa mag-three regions are involved,
00:15then already the national has to come in.
00:18That's a national calamity already.
00:20Wala namang choice tung basok ng national.
00:23But it's up to the local communities to decide,
00:27because they know best.
00:28They know best what they need.
00:30It is also, yung pag-deklara ng State of Calamity,
00:33it's also to access funds.
00:35Para makapag-accessin sila ng funds.
00:37Kasi naungubos na yung kanilang emergency na reserve.
00:41O buha sila sa national.
00:43So that's what we're working on.

00:51Well, kaya nga, nasa sa kanila yan.
00:53Nasa sa kanila yan.
00:56It is up to them.
00:58But this is very much a prayer road, I think.
