00:00Following the disaster of the Super Typhoon Karina, the Camarana asked for help to give priority to the 2025 National Budget of the Disaster Response Fund.
00:10Yesterday, the residents of several evacuation centers were visited and given assistance by congressmen.
00:16Mela Lesmoras was in the report.
00:18No one was able to save the family of Annabelle from the impact of the Super Typhoon Karina and its impact here in San Juan City.
00:31Her story, this is the worst calamity they have experienced.
00:36We can't sleep, we can't eat, we don't have clothes, we don't have anything.
00:42Everything is totally washed out. So I don't know where else we will go. We can't stay here for long.
00:49Another one who is in Lantana, Mira, was also traumatized by what happened.
00:54This is the first time we have experienced the risk of not being able to sleep.
00:58I feel like I'm traumatized. I don't feel like eating.
01:02Annabelle and Mira were among the more than 1,500 individuals who are currently staying here in the San Juan City Evacuation Center due to the calamity.
01:13In order to help, a relief operation was conducted by the local government in order to give priority to House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
01:21Aside from food and other assistance, entertainment was also provided here so that the sadness of the residents could be alleviated.
01:32Who is the loudest?
01:37Are you happy, baby?
01:40Who sold you a T-shirt?
01:45According to Speaker Romualdez, it is important for them to provide assistance to our countrymen during this time of calamity.
01:54That's why in the 2025 national budget, they will continue to give priority to the disaster response fund.
02:02It's there. It's really there. And we are always updating it.
02:07We also said that we will be able to spend more if what we have done is effective and implemented.
02:15And if it's not enough, that's where we will pass the budget.
02:19Aside from San Juan City, the leader of the Chamber also provided assistance to two evacuation centers in Quezon City.
02:27Yesterday, the congressmen in Marikina City were the first to conduct a relief operation.
02:33Well, what we want to say to everyone is to remind them that they are not alone.
02:40We feel their situation and we are doing everything we can to alleviate their suffering.
02:49Our quick response yesterday was to build hot meals while we are preparing relief packs and relief goods.
