President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. extended his message of solidarity and support to the victims of the raging wildfires in Southern California in the United
States, particularly in Los Angeles where many Filipino-American families and overseas Filipino workers are staying.
Firefighters were racing against time over the weekend to get on top of the massive wildfires around Los Angeles as winds ramped up, pushing the blazes towards previously untouched neighborhoods. The Palisades fire was 11 percent contained Saturday but had grown to 23,600 acres , while the Eaton Fire was at 14,000 acres and 15 percent contained.
A huge investigation was underway to determine what caused the blazes, involving the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives , along with local authorities, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said.“If this is a criminal act—I’m not saying it’s going to be—if it is, we need to hold whoever did this, or groups responsible,” Luna added, appealing for anyone who had information to come forward.
