Negros Occidental 'not alone' in 'Tino' recovery efforts

Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson thanked President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for visiting areas devastated by typhoon "Tino" over the weekend.

- 

Marcos conducted an inspection in the municipalities of Moises Padilla and La Castellana, two of the worst-hit local government units (LGUs) in central Negros.

"The President's sincerity and resolve to help were evident and were strengthened by the presence of his key Cabinet officials who joined him as he inspected the damage and assessed the needs on the ground," Lacson said.

In La Castellana, Marcos presided over the situation briefing with the mayors of affected LGUs.

Also badly hit by the typhoon are Hinigaran, Binalbagan, Isabela, and La Carlota City.

"Negros Occidental is hurting from the tragedy brought by typhoon Tino, but the presence of our President and the support of the national government give us hope that we are not alone in facing the problem," Lacson said in a social media post.
