00:00The public's well-being or the common good is government's paramount concern.

00:04Hence, the House of Representatives set aside and put off its oversight duties

00:10to focus on providing relief and assistance to people hit hard by severe tropical storm

00:15Christine's passage and fallout. PTV's Melales Moras tells us more.

00:22To help those affected by Typhoon Christine in various parts of the country,

00:27the ACT-CIS party list headed by Congressman Erwin Tulfo turned over P1M in cash aid to

00:33the Philippine Coast Guard. They also conveyed to the agency P1,000 sacks of rice to be given out

00:39to typhoon victims.

00:40That's what I'm asking for, Erwin, from the Coast Guard, aside from our thanks,

00:45what else can we do to help those in need in the Bicol region and other places,

00:51the ACT-CIS is ready to help at any time.

00:54We intend to bring the relief goods by sea. So right now, we are planning to send two ships.

01:03In a video message, Congressman Tulfo assured to continue monitoring the

01:07situation of our countrymen amidst this calamity.

01:10This is our small contribution from ACT-CIS and Erwin Tulfo Action Center

01:17for our countrymen who were swept away in the Bicol region to help our countrymen there.

01:27According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez, upon the directive of President Ferdinand R.

01:32Marquez, Jr., a large-scale relief operation has been put to action to assist the families

01:37severely affected by Typhoon Christine. Speaker Romualdez facilitated the request for the

01:42immediate release of P390 million in cash aid with additional relief packages worth over P21

01:49million for a total of more than P411 million. Speaker Romualdez said the President's directive

01:56is clear. No Filipino family or individual should be left behind in the government's

02:01assistance efforts. As of now, House hearings are also canceled as the congressmen focus

02:07on extending aid and support to their constituents affected by the typhoon.

02:11During this time of calamity, Filipinos should be united. Let's not talk about politics.

02:19This is what our President, BBM, is saying, a whole-of-nation approach.
