Malacañang confirmed that no Filipino has been affected by the recent devastating floods in central Texas, particularly Kerr County.
Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said the Philippine Consulate General in Houston reported no Filipino casualties or missing persons so far.
The Consulate is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with the Filipino community, Castro said, urging Filipinos in the area to contact the government if they need help.
Over 160 people remain missing and more than 110 confirmed dead across six Texas counties due to the floods.
“Handa pong tumulong ang gobyerno at ang pamahalaan kung ano po ang pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayan doon,” the Palace official said.
Malacañang also offered prayers and sympathies for the victims and their families.IMT
