Like with Typhoon 'Tino", Tingog Party-list Rep. Jude Acidre says his group is ready to render swift response to those who will need assistance in the wake of Typhoon "Uwan", which is expected to be felt in the country this weekend.

In an interview with House of Representatives reporters, Acidre said Tingog Party-list had already carried out an inventory of their supply of relief goods for typhoon victims.

The party-list has also coordinated with their partner organizations to ensure the immediate distribution of relief to the affected communities.

"For next week, we're preparing already. We already did inventory about whatever we have at the moment and then we've also reached out to some of our partners probably even more in the coming weeks to making sure that in case nangyari, available at mabilisan pang response natin (in case the typhoon strikes, we have available relief goods and we can respond quickly, as what we've been doing in the past years," Acidre said.

He said that in Tingog's home base of Leyte and Eastern Visayas--which Super Typhoon "Yolanda" laid waste to 12 years ago--the people have become more mindful and are more prepared for such weather events.

This has also resulted to better-equipped evacuation centers where affected families can be better taken off.

Given the recent controversies of corruption, there are a lot of eyes on local flood control projects and how they managed to protect residents from the typhoons.

In the case of Leyte, particularly in Tacloban City, Acidre said the floods from Tino's onslaught were mitigated by the tide embankment along the city's coastline.

"So all these mechanisms have been in place with the intention of making sure na hindi tayo (that we aren't) overly focused on response alone, but really for preparation, making sure that our communities are better prepared for this natural disaster," he explained.

An average of 20 typhoons per year visit the Philippines.
