MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. on Wednesday said that the national government should also step in and provide additional funds for the evacuees in Albay before the local government runs out of money for disaster response. During a situation briefing on the Mayon Volcano's unrest, Albay Government Edcel Greco Lagman told Marcos that a total of P196,711,000 is needed for disaster response for 90 days, which would cover the needs of the evacuees such as water and sanitation, health services, learning spaces among others.
