In his speech during the distribution of financial aid in Buguey, Cagayan, President Marcos said he brought all relevant government agencies to ensure all help is extended to those rendered homeless by Marce.

“Hindi kaya ng isang department gawin lahat. Kaya ang tinatawag po namin, ginagawa po namin ay what we call the whole-of-government approach. Ibig sabihin, lahat ng iba’t ibang departamento kahit papaano ay makakadala ng tulong at makakatulong para mabigyan ng relief, para ma-rescue ang ating mga tauhan, para mabigyan ng relief,” President Marcos said.

“At ngayon, ngayon dito sa Cagayan, ang dapat talaga nating tingnan ay ang reconstruction dahil ‘yung sa… Sa public infrastructure, okay naman, not so bad. Pero ‘yung mga private na tirahan, ‘yun na nga, nasira. Kaya’t ‘yun ang tututukan natin,” he added.
