00:00Sir, former Vice President Lederbredo is asking for help, in particular the rubber boats. How soon will you be able to get in?
00:07As soon as we can get in. As soon as we can get in, we will be doing that.
00:13And we are now beginning to marshal our assets, like for example rubber boats.
00:18Until Monday, we will get it first and bring it here to the area in need.
00:24We just got the report from Kamsul that half the province is under water because they live in the basin between Albay and Kamsul.
00:39That's why it's always flooded.
00:44So as soon as we can, we will go in.
00:47As soon as we can. If it's necessary, the helicopter won't be able to carry it.
00:52So it really needs a truck to get in.
00:56So as soon as it clears, DPWH knows what they are doing.
01:03They are monitoring. Their people are there, their regional officers, to say when they can come in.
01:10So that's what we're waiting for now.
01:13We are at the mercy of the weather, as we always are.
01:18So we will just have to wait for the true effects of this typhoon.
