"Nais kong muling pasalamatan ang ating mga kasamahan sa ASEAN na nagpadala po ng tulong. Kagaya ng ibang lugar, tinamaan din sila ng bagyo ngunit binigyan pa rin tayo ng tulong (I want to thank our fellow ASEAN members. Many other countries were also hit by the storm but they still chose to send help),” he said in a speech in Pili, Camarines Sur on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

"Nagpadala sila ng eroplano, nagpadala sila ng gamit. Pati na rin ang pribadong sektor na handang umagapay sa pagpapalawig ng mga proyekto ng pamahalaan (They sent airplanes and other materials. Even the private sector were ready to help expand the government projects)," he added.

President Marcos also thanked those who dedicated their time and resources to help typhoon victims. He expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support from the private sector to help storm-hit Filipinos.

"Sa lahat ng naglalaan ng kanilang panahon, kakayanan, at puso sa pagtulong sa ating mga kababayan— tanggapin po ninyo ang aking taos-pusong pasasalamat (To those who offered their time, abilities, and heart in helping our fellowmen, please accept my gratitude)," he said.

"Hindi lamang po ang ating mga kasama sa pamahalaan, gayundin sa pribadong sektor na walang sawang nakiisa sa pagtiyak ng karapatan at kapakanan ng bawat Pilipino—salamat sa inyong tulong. Salamat sa inyong suporta (Not just to our fellow government workers but also to the private sector who tirelessly join us in ensuring the welfare of every Filipino. Thank you for your help and your support)," he added.

The President called on everyone to reunite in building a more prepared, prosperous, and progressive "Bagong Pilipinas".
