MANILA, Philippines – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. holds a situation briefing on Wednesday, July 24, at the headquarters of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) on the impact of Typhoon Carina.
The storm and the enhanced southwest monsoon have brought heavy rains in Metro Manila and nearby provinces, resulting in widespread flooding.
Earlier Wednesday, Marcos said in a statement that government agencies have been directed to “provide swift assistance” to Filipinos impacted by the weather disturbance.
Malacañang said that P43.15 million in assistance has been given to more than 770,000 Filipinos affected by the southwest monsoon in the Visayas and Mindanao last week.
