00:00... kakatapos lang yung nating emergency meeting dito sa NDRMC dahil sa efekto ng kanina at kung saan ang mga critical areas at nag-report na ang NDRMC, OCD, DRLC, DSWD, Pagasan of course para malaman natin kung ano yung areas na hindi pa natin napupuntahan.

00:29... So kaunti ilag naman ang instruction na binigay ko sa grupo dahil maganda naman ang response natin. So far sinabihan ko lang sila mag-focus ng mabuti sa mga areas na sa hanggang ngayon hindi pa natin ipasok.

00:59... It works because kung yung daan na landslide kailangan magtulungan sila ng LGU para mag-clear yung daan.

01:29... like Naguotas, Malabon. These are all these places na babah talaga sa dagat yan at laging nababah. Nasira pa yung flood control natin dahil binanga ng marco. Kaya halos lahat ng bayan ay nakalubog sa tubig.

01:59... I always say kung siyang namunguno ng buong Metro Manila mayor, mag-convince sila mamaya after this para makapag-decide kung talagang kailangan ba mag-State of Calamity ng buong MCR.

02:29... It's because sabay-sabay. Pagiging calamity sa 3 regions involved then already the national has to come in. That's a national calamity already. Wala na kaming choice to basok ng national. But it's up to the local communities to decide because they know best what they need.

02:59... kasi nauubos na yung kanilang emergency na reserve, pupuha sila sa national. So that's what we're working on now."

03:29"... sensitive areas like Camanaba and Marikina at last kung talagang evacuation dapat makatulungan. Marikina alone dapat matulungan ito ng Coast Guard at iba pang-ahensya ng gobyerno. Yes, kailangan magtulungan. Kung di kaya ng Marikina it could be part of Quezon City, mga neighbors niya. Kailangan magtulungan. Anyway, ang Metro Manila mayors naman don't know that we're having MCR."

03:59"... iba ito eh. This is calamity. Siguro maunawaan naman ng ating mga kamay. Calamity dito eh. Importante dito ang tulungan na lang."
