Malaca\u00f1ang on Saturday assured prompt and substantive action from the government in response to the 6.7-magnitude earthquake that hit Surigao del Norte.(Photo By Official Gazette of the Philippines (File:Malaca\u00f1ang Palace.jpg) [Public domain])<\/figcaption><\/figure>MANILA \u2013Malaca\u00f1ang on Saturday assured prompt and substantive action from the government in response to the 6.7-magnitude earthquake that hit Surigao del Norte.<\/p>\n

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar stressed that the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Regional Office has prepositioned family food packs to geographically hard-to-reach areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cConcerned officials are now in Surigao City to conduct monitoring and damaged assessment. Rescue operations are ongoing with Quick Response Teams already mobilized,” Andanar said.<\/p>\n

For his part, Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella urged the public to cooperate and to exercise caution.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us continue in the spirit of bayanihan\u2026 we\u2019ll be looking out for one another,\u201d Abella said.<\/p>\n

Abella also urged Surigaonons to avoid unsteady structures as there are still aftershocks following the major earthquake.<\/p>\n

As for the DPWH, Abella said President Duterte wanted the DPWH to work as quickly as possible in clearing the debris for a faster delivery of relief goods to affected areas.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Abella said President Duterte is a listening President. He said the President continues to listen to his peace advisers on next step regarding the peace process.<\/p>\n

Abella said there seems to be a disconnect between communist leaders and those on the ground.<\/p>\n

He added that confidence-building measures should be undertaken by the communists to show their sincerity in continuing the peace talks.<\/p>\n

Abella also reminded the Philippine National Police (PNP) as well as other law enforcement agencies of their main purpose, which is to serve the country and not their own pockets.<\/p>\n

Abella echoed the President’s call for law enforcers to live simply and turn their backs on the tendency to live beyond their means. (PNA)<\/p>\n

Last week, wayward police officers from the National Capital region Police Office (NCRPO) who are facing different administrative complaints received a tongue lashing from President Duterte.<\/p>\n

The policemen were ordered to prepare to be reassigned to Basilan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
