|October 27, 2024
Following extensive damage caused by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine, the Batangas provincial government has declared a state of calamity across the entire province.
"At least two towns – Cuenca and Laurel – have already declared a state of calamity, prompting us to follow suit based on the recommendation of the provincial disaster risk reduction management council," Vice Gov. Mark Leviste stated.
Leviste said the Sangguniang Panlalawigan was convened on Friday, where all members unanimously approved the state of calamity declaration.
In a phone interview, the vice governor confirmed that P79 million had been allocated from their quick response fund and the budget realigned to address the immediate needs of affected residents.
