The son of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcus instructed the authorities to declare a catastrophe in the worst-affected areas of the tropical “Nagai” storm, which killed at least 48 lives and forced tens of thousands of people from their homes.
According to the Meteorological Office, the tropical storm, commonly referred to as “Ping,” deteriorated more after leaving the island at a speed of 105 kilometres per hour, as reported by the Bloomberg News Agency today.
Marcus wants to declare a disaster in the “Picole” area, the worst affected in the far south of the “Luzon” region and the “Banjamuru” region, which is subject to self -rule, in the “Mindanao” region, according to his personal secretary in a statement.
The president also considers the National Council for Disaster Reduction’s and its management’s advice to declare a national emergency for a year in order to raise a price freeze and release emergency funds.
