President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered government agencies to step up preparations after Typhoon Inday entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the MMDA has started clearing drainage systems and waterways, while all 73 pumping stations are on standby for possible flooding.
“Ang DSWD… mayroong mahigit 4.7 million food packs ang naka-preposition na sa buong bansa,” Castro said.
She added that the DOH has placed its regional offices on alert, declared Code White, and readied emergency response teams.
Castro said the President is closely monitoring the storm and urged the public to stay alert and keep track of weather updates.IMT
