“Pinaghahandaan din natin ang magiging epekto nito hindi lamang sa hilagang bahagi ng bansa, kundi sa lahat ng lugar na posibleng maapektuhan ng bagyo,” Marcos said.

The budget and food packs are prepared, the response teams and local government units are ready in case the super typhoon hits their areas, and the President met with the Defense officer-in-charge, Undersecretary Carlito Galvez.

“Sa pulong kasama si DND [USec.] Carlito Galvez, siniguro natin na naka pre-position ang pondo at food packs, naka-standby ang response teams, at handa na ang mga LGU sa mga lugar na tatamaan ng bagyo,” he added.

According to Marcos, there is a chance that Mawar will cause rain and flooding in other parts of the nation, particularly the Visayas region.

“May posibilidad na hilahin ng bagyo ang Hanging Habagat na magdadala ng matinding pag-ulan at magreresulta sa pagbaha sa ilang bahagi ng bansa sa Luzon hanggang Visayas,” Marcos said.
