00:00The Marquez administration has always kept an eye on the sectors that help achieve food security.

00:06That's why the president once again led the distribution of financial assistance

00:10to the affected farmers, fisherfolk, and their families in Cavite to help them get back on their feet.

00:16PTV's Clay Silpardilla has the full details.

00:22The recent storms have devastated nearly all of Caudelia's banana trees in Silang, Cavite.

00:27It's very difficult because we can't harvest.

00:32That's what we're hoping for.

00:35To ease the burden of people like Caudelia hit hard by typhoons Christine and Leon,

00:39today President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. again distributed financial assistance.

00:44On this occasion, assistance was distributed to farmers, fishermen, and families in Tagaytay City, Cavite province.

00:52On this occasion, the president first distributed financial assistance to you.

01:00More than 4,200 farmers and fishermen affected by typhoons Christine and Leon

01:08will receive P10,000 to help you get back on your feet.

01:16Caudelia was deeply grateful.

01:18It's a big help to us in rice, water, and food.

01:23A total of 4,233 beneficiaries from 21 cities and towns have received financial aid

01:30from the presidential assistance for farmers, fisherfolk, and families program.

01:34Tomas will use this aid to restore his livelihood.

01:37His flower plants were uprooted by the storm.

01:40Our plants were supposed to be planted on November 1st.

01:45We were supposed to sell them but the typhoon Christine brought them.

01:51It's important because we can buy a lot of things now.

01:55We can buy land, plastic, seeds, and food for people.

02:02Along with this, the government is focusing on programs to help mitigate the effects of climate change.

02:08President Marcos Jr. has instructed the Department of Public Works and Highways

02:12to fast-track and improve the flood control project in Cavite province.

02:17Here in Cavite, we are implementing the Cavite Industrial Area Flood Risk Management Project.

02:24We expect that with the help of this project,

02:28after 2029, the heavy flooding in the San Juan River Basin

02:34and in the Palimano Creek drainage area in Cavite will be avoided.

02:38From PTV Manila, Clay Zalparilla, Balitang Pambansa.
