00:00Now, let's go back to the AFP for their preparations for the possible effects of the typhoon Marseille

00:06and updates on their operations.

00:09We know that Colonel Francel Margareth Padilla is with us, the spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

00:16Colonel Padilla, good afternoon to you.

00:20Good afternoon, Ma'am. Good afternoon to all of our viewers.

00:24Okay, this time around, what are the preparations that the Armed Forces of the Philippines made for the typhoon Marseille?

00:34Yes, Ma'am. Our Philippine Armed Forces deployed multiple units nationwide

00:40to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster response

00:44to the rise of the typhoon Christine and the effects of the typhoon Leon.

00:54Now, we are on standby in Marseille.

00:58Our Philippine Army mobilized our rescue teams from different infantry divisions.

01:05Our 5th to 5th Combat Engineer Battalion, led by Colonel Bautista,

01:12is our specialized urban search and rescue team.

01:16All of these were deployed and the others are on standby

01:21in order to assist in relief efforts and the search and rescue operations that need be.

01:27Can you describe to us the type of equipment that the AFP is preparing

01:33for your airlift and rescue operations?

01:36And what are the pre-positioned assets of the AFP for now?

01:41So here, our pre-positioned assets, of course,

01:45in the typhoon Christine, we're gearing towards its recovery,

01:51rehabilitation of our damaged infrastructures.

01:54So our pre-positioned assets are our engineering brigade assets.

01:59We also have our trucks, army trucks.

02:02And the areas that were destroyed, our rubber boats are also pre-positioned there.

02:09When it comes to Marseille, we have air assets that are on standby.

02:17When it's flyable, we will deploy it.

02:20We have around 56 land assets and 209 sea assets.

02:25This is a combination of resources and equipment from the AFP, the PCG, DILG, BSWD, and OCD.

02:34Here, ma'am, we will wait for our deployment according to OCD

02:40so that the effort here is joint and coordinated.

02:45Okay. How did the AFP help the communities in Bicol region

02:51after the severe tropical storm Christine?

02:57Here, ma'am, we immediately launched our efforts to recover and support the affected areas.

03:03The units of the AFP will continue their search and rescue operations, retrieval,

03:10and distribution of relief goods,

03:15over and above that, clearing the roads,

03:19and the immediate recovery of our important infrastructures.

03:25Here, under the guidance of the local government and our partner agencies,

03:31we expanded our help to reach the affected communities.

03:40Colonel Francais, we also asked for an update on the assistance of the AFP in retrieval operations,

03:45especially to the people who are missing due to the severe tropical storm Christine.

03:50How is it now?

03:53Yes, ma'am. We have deployed search, rescue, and retrieval efforts and teams.

03:58It has been very extensive.

04:00We have 28 squads, around 1,409 teams,

04:06and 3,176 assets from the AFP and DFP.

04:11We deployed them since October 25.

04:15We have more than 2,000 SRR teams

04:20and 4,000 SRR assets on standby.

04:25Our force multipliers, our reservists here in the area,

04:32also played a big role in our search, rescue, and retrieval operations.

04:41Alright. In other talks, we have a question from the GMA Newsdesk.

04:46What does the AFP expect under the Trump administration?

04:54Normally, the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

04:58we do not comment on political matters,

05:01but in terms of the Armed Forces of the Philippines

05:05and of course our multilateral and bilateral treaties with the United States,

05:11they have been allies of our country for a very long time.

05:17We have seen a trend there because we have been allies with the U.S. for a long time in terms of our treaties.

05:25Even though the presidents have changed,

05:28because these are locked in stone, so to speak, our treaties,

05:32our activities with them are continuous.

05:35They honor the treaties we have signed together.

05:42You have seen that through the years, we have been actively performing exercises.

05:47They have also been assisting us in HAPR operations

05:50and other exercises of the Armed Forces of the Philippines together with the United States.

05:57Okay. Let's go back to your relief efforts in Baguio.

06:03Christine, in Bicol Region,

06:05do you have stories that you can share with us

06:08that are specific to what the AFP has done to our countrymen there

06:12that can also help others learn from your rescue efforts

06:18and maybe you have an inspiring story that you can share with us?

06:24Ma'am, we have seen the heroism and sacrifice of our soldiers

06:31despite the fact that even our units that are in the area are also affected.

06:37Even our own camp, let's assume that they are also victims of this incident.

06:45But despite that, our soldiers really went out of their way to look after the welfare of our countrymen.

06:54Your Armed Forces of the Philippines will continue to work tirelessly

07:00while we are waking up from the effects of Hurricane Christine.

07:03Even though our troops are tired,

07:06we are still moving our forces to prepare for the effects of Hurricane Marseille.

07:16Here, we are mobilizing our resources,

07:21even in areas that can't be crossed by our army trucks,

07:26and deep, we use the rubber boats.

07:28We have seen the stories of heroism, sacrifice,

07:32and the efforts of various agencies to help our countrymen

07:39and mitigate the effects of Hurricane Christine.

07:46Please send your message to our countrymen who are affected by Hurricane Marseille.

07:53To our countrymen, rest assured that your Armed Forces of the Philippines are here for you.

08:01We will mobilize our necessary resources for Hurricane Marseille

08:06in coordination with other relevant agencies.

08:11We will continue our recovery efforts.
