During the briefing, Digong assured that adequate attention and assistance will be given to all areas severely affected by the typhoon.
He added the deployment of equipment, aid, and government personnel willcontinue even during Christmas and New Year
It will be recalled that Kabankalan City was among the areas hardest hit by super typhoon Odette in Negros Occidental where many parts of the city were submerged in flood waters.
Heavy rains disrupted the lives of thousands of residents, forced the evacuation of more than 8,000 individuals and left nine dead on Sunday, Dec. 19th.
