MANILA, November 6 (Xinhua) — Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. declared a state of national disaster in the wake of Typhoon Calmaegi, local media reported Thursday.
“Due to the scale of, shall we say, the problem areas that were affected by Tino (international name Kalmaegi) and will be affected by Uwan (international name Fung Wong),” the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council put forward a proposal, which I approved, to declare a national disaster,” the Philippine News Agency quotes F.R. Marcos Jr. as saying.
Kalmaegi, the 20th typhoon to hit the Philippines this year, left the country early Thursday morning, leaving at least 140 people dead and 127 missing.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reported that Kalmaeggi affected more than 500,000 families, or more than 1.9 million Filipinos.
The Philippines is bracing for another storm that could develop into a super typhoon and hit the Philippines this weekend. –0–
