Senator Robin Padilla has emphasized the necessity of equipping citizens with military training to effectively respond to calamities.
The senator reiterated this stance following the 7.5 magnitude earthquake that struck Taiwan.
“It’s crucial for us to be trained and knowledgeable about what to do in emergencies. This isn’t just about warfare… What we’re doing is for the peace and safety of our fellow citizens,” Padilla stated.
Hans Leo Cacdac, officer-in-charge of the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), reported that three Filipinos in Taiwan sustained minor injuries due to the earthquake.
“All of them are okay. Their injuries are minor. Two of them have been discharged from the hospital,” Cacdac confirmed.
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. assured that the Philippine government would provide support to affected Filipinos in Taiwan.
