MANILA – The city government of Manila Manila City on Friday said it has deployed a 14-member team from the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) to Naga City.

The group will assist in relief operations in the aftermath of Severe Tropical Storm Kristine (international name: Trami).

Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna and the MDRRMO coordinated directly with Naga City officials on the measure to assist the storm-hit city.

The MDRRMO team left for Naga City on Thursday night with a mobile water filtration system, two rescue boats with outboard motors, two rescue trucks, and a transporter truck.

“Help is coming. Thank you, our MDRRMO employees who are going to Naga City. Take care,” the mayor said in a statement.

She told Manileños that rescue teams were also ready to assist residents as heavy downpours from Kristine also battered Metro Manila.

“Tinitiyak ko pong handang handa pa rin po ang Maynila at sapat ang ating pwersa para tugunan ang anumang kakailanganin ng ating Lungsod na may kinalaman sa anumang bagyo o sakuna kahit pa may rescue and emergency team tayong ipapadala sa Bicol,” Lacuna added.

(Manila is more than ready and our resources are enough to respond to any needs in terms of storm response or any emergency, even if we are sending a rescue and emergency team to Bicol.)
