Inihayag ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. na sinusuri na nila ang sitwasyon ng mga lugar na naapektuhan ng magnitude 7.5 na lindol sa Manay, Davao Oriental nitong Biyernes, Oktubre 10.

“A strong earthquake struck off the coast of Davao Oriental this morning at 9:43 a.m. with a magnitude of 7.6. PHIVOLCS has issued a tsunami warning for several coastal provinces in Mindanao and the Visayas, including Davao Oriental, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Southern Leyte, and Eastern Samar,” ani PBBM.

“We are now assessing the situation on the ground and ensuring that everyone is safe. I have directed the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, the Office of Civil Defense, the Armed Forces, the Philippine Coast Guard, and all concerned agencies to immediately carry out evacuations in coastal areas, activate emergency communication lines, and coordinate closely with local governments,” dagdag pa niya.

Inilahad niya ring isinasagawa na ang search, rescue, and relief operations para sa mga apektadong residente.

“Search, rescue, and relief operations are already being prepared and will be deployed as soon as it is safe to do so. The Department of Social Welfare and Development is pre-positioning food and non-food items, while the Department of Health is ready to provide emergency medical assistance,” aniya.

Inabisuhan din ng Pangulo na maging alerto at kalmado ang lahat at sundin ang paalala ng mga awtoridad.

“To our kababayans in the affected regions, please stay alert and calm. Move to higher ground and stay away from the shore until authorities declare it safe. Follow all instructions from your local disaster councils and barangay officials. Your safety is our top priority,” anang Pangulo.

“We are working round the clock to ensure that help reaches everyone who needs it. Let us continue to look out for one another and pray for the safety of all our countrymen,” dagdag pa nito.

Matatandaang mula sa inisyal nitong lakas na magnitude 7.6, ibinaba ito ng PHIVOLCS sa magnitude 7.5, at ibinaba pang muli sa magnitude 7.4
