DAVAO CITY – The nearly two-hour briefing for President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.
“Overall I think we did alright,” Marcos said at the end of the nearly two-hour long briefing. But he stressed, “dapat next time marami na tayong nakikitang joint operations between the LGU and BARMM. Otherwise hindi talaga tayo magiging efficient. We have to find a way.” At the national level, also as of 6 p.m. of October 31, Situation Report 8 of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council listed 53 dead, 40 injured, 22 missing in the BARMM, with zero or no one inside evacuation centers. So many valuable learning and teaching moments for the national government, the BARMM and the LGUs were packed into that one-hour-and-forty-five minute briefing for Marcos.
Earlier, Tulfo called on a DSWD 12 official when Marcos asked “how many people are left still in evacuation centers?” It was a question Marcos also asked of Mangudadatu: “lahat yan napunta sa evacuation center?” “Yes, Sir. As of yesterday, number of persons sa iba’t-ibang evacuation centers,” she replied.
