Gov’t forms Mindanao quake communications team

The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) has created a team tasked to raise public awareness on the earthquakes that hit Mindanao last month.

PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar said in an interview that Assistant Secretary for Special Concerns Joseph Lawrence “Bam” Garcia will be the one to lead the task force.

“Binuo natin iyong ating Mindanao Earthquake Communications Team at doon ay inalerto natin lahat ng mga kasamahan natin sa PCOO ,” Andanar said.

“Iyong pagpapalaganap ng impormasyon mula sa… Dalawang ground zero ‘yan eh, ‘di ba? ‘yung sa Davao saka sa North Cotabato, Kidapawan,” Andanar added.

Relief operations are underway for the victims of the earthquakes. Thousands of families remain in evacuation centers.

Andanar also ordered Garcia to lead the Laging Handa: Earthquake Update which aims to update residents on the government’s response to the quake victims.

“So mabilis naman ‘yung pag-activate natin ng team na iyan at naging maganda ‘yung dissemination ng information not only sa PCOO but iyong mga inter-agencies,” Andanar explained. (TN)
