President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Monday lauded as “a difference-maker” the preemptive evacuation done by the local government units in the areas on the path of Super Typhoon Uwan.
Marcos made the remark as the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) said preemptive evacuation efforts for 426,000 families have significantly reduced casualties.
“I want to thank our local governments, first responders, and volunteers for acting quickly and working together to keep our people safe,” Marcos said in a statement as he presided over a post-Uwan briefing in Mandaluyong City.
“The preemptive evacuations you carried out made all the difference. Napakalaking bagay ng inyong maagap na pagkilos,” he added.
