The government, he added, is still in the process of assessing the damage wrought by the typhoon in communities. “We are still in the period of rapid response, number one, to serve our displaced countrymen; number two is to ensure that basic services are restored as soon as possible; and the most important is to ensure that everybody as much as possible is safe,” he said.
