“We have seen the devastations brought about by Kristine in these provinces. As what Secretary Rex Gatchalian said during a briefing with President Marcos, responding to the devastating impact of Kristine in the Bicol Region is the top concern, this is why the DSWD made sure to provide the needed support to the LGUs in the three provinces,” Special Assistant to the Secretary (SAS) for Disaster Response Management Group (DRMG) and Concurrent
