PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has ordered the deployment of medical teams to evacuation centers and the development of alternative learning plans for students affected by class suspensions due to inclement weather.
This directive comes in response to the ongoing impact of the southwest monsoon (Habagat) and other weather systems currently affecting the country. The President emphasized during a situation briefing that such calamities are now part of the “new normal,” necessitating long-term plans for evacuation, healthcare, and education.
President Marcos’s directive highlights the government’s commitment to addressing the immediate and long-term needs of communities affected by natural disasters.
The deployment of medical teams aims to ensure the health and well-being of those in evacuation centers, while the development of alternative learning plans seeks to minimize disruptions to the education of affected students.
The emphasis on long-term planning underscores the administration’s recognition of the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and the need for proactive measures to strengthen resilience and preparedness.
