DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND CRISIS/INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

( AFTER THE TYPHOON ROLLY )

Due to proper preparations of the local government agencies NDRRMC, Redcross, and also the
yelp of PNP, MILITARY, and local barangay officials only few lives lose particularly in albay due
to lahar which was not expected by the locals there. Not much destruction but due to severe
rain flooding in some areas causes damages on the property of every person.
The province of Catanduanes is now under a state of calamity after Super Typhoon Rolly
barreled through this island province on Sunday, killing at least five people and leaving over
10,000 families homeless.
The declaration on Monday was based on Resolution No. 583-2020, the damage report
submitted by the Catanduanes Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
(PDRRMC). PDRRMC reported that 'more than 65 percent of the houses was destroyed, 70
percent of the electrical posts was destroyed, an estimated amount of PHP400-million damage
to abaca industry, PHP150-million damage to agriculture' and that all communications (facilities)
are down as per a partial report,” the resolution said.
Meanwhile, a C-130 plane from the Department of Social Welfare and Development main office
in Manila delivered relief items including food and bottled water to the province on Wednesday.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) also imposed a price freeze on basic commodities
no price increase was noted in Catanduanes.
Maybe because the people (businessmen) here are already conscientious enough not to
increase prices, she said. Escueta said there is no food shortage in the province although it
could fall short of hardware supplies like galvanized iron sheets, plywood, and nails as every
household needs to have repairs done.
“Nauyagan kami, pero kaya man. Ung iba naayos na ung iba mai pa basta ang importante
buhay kami gabos,” (Our house was destroyed but we’re okay. The important thing is we are all
alive)," we are known to he oragons despite the calamities we remain strong and never showed
weakness.
