Malacañang said all government agencies are currently “alert and on a standby” through Oplan Listo headed by the DILG and NDRRMC amid Typhoon Ambo.
“We ask the public, especially those who will be hit by Typhoon Ambo, to remain vigilant and to cooperate with authorities as they implement their disaster preparedness and response to ensure everyone’s safety,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said.
Meanwhile, the government is monitoring the transition of some areas from ECQ to MECQ and GCQ even with the occurrence of Typhoon Ambo.
Roque said President Duterte has directed DBM Secretary Wendel Avisado to “determine how much funds from the 2020 National Budget will be realigned to augment the Administration’s social amelioration measures.”
Roque also confirmed President Duterte will seek Congressional assistance to find additional funding for the second tranche of SAP “to complete the rollout of aid to poor and low-income families.” – Report from Mela Lesmoras
