According to the Presidential Communications Office, Marcos suggested asking Japan for assistance, as the country, according to him, has vast experience and expertise in dealing with floods. "Nag-coordinate na kami sa National Housing Authority. ‘Yung mga bahay na totally destroyed, hahanapan natin ng resettlement area para magkaroon ng tirahan,” Marcos said.
It added that a total of 5,594.75 hectares or P154.38 million worth of damage to agriculture has been recorded in Northern Mindanao.
