TINIYAK ngayong Biyernes ni Acting Presidential Spokesperson Karlo Nograles na kumikilos ang pamahalaan para matulungan ang mga biktima ng bagyong Odette sa harap ng matinding pinsalang dala nito sa Visayas at Mindanao.
“Government is assisting round the clock those affected by Typhoon Odette,” sabi ni Nograles.
Base sa ulat ng Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) nakataas pa rin ang signal number 3 sa hilangang bahagi ng Palawan, kasama na ang Cagayancillo at Cuyo Islands, at Guimaras, katimugang bahagi ng Iloilo at katimugang bahagi ng Antique .

Samantala, umabot sa 62 lungsod at munisipalidad ang nawalan ng kuryente. Nagpapatuloy naman ang ginagawang pagkilos ng mga kaukulang ahensiya para agad na maibalik ang suplay ng kuryente.
