Duterte yesterday conducted an aerial inspection of typhoon-ravaged areas along with Sen. Bong Go before holding a briefing in Surigao del Sur.
Due to slow internet connectivity in the region, the President’s visit was not livestreamed by the government’s Radio Television Malacañang (RTVM), which is usually broadcast through state-run PTV-4 and Radyo Pilipinas.
Earlier in the day, Secretary to the Cabinet Karlo Nograles said the President had been getting regular updates about the impact of the typhoon.
As of Monday, Nograles said a total of 29,008 families or 112,734 individuals have been affected by the typhoon.
“We do not have any casualty as of the moment. A total of 18,996 families or 69,682 individuals have been evacuated and financial assistance has been extended to all those affected,” he said.
“There are also other regions that continue to feel the effects of Typhoon Auring in terms of strong rains and flooding. We continue to monitor the situation on the ground and all the agencies and departments that are in charge of providing relief, rescue and response operations are doing their duties,” Nograles said.
He commended government officials and their teams involved in the rescue and monitoring operations of affected areas.
