The national government will be able to reach all 40 municipalities of Leyte by Thursday, November 14, defense chief Voltaire Gazmin said. The secretary of national defense gave this assurance Wednesday night, November 13, after a closed-door meeting of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) in Camp Aguinaldo. In a related event, Secretary to the Cabinet Rene Almendras acknowledged the difficulties the national government was facing – even admitting it needs help – but also defended its efforts. Almendras also admitted that despite current efforts it is “not within the national government’s control how effectively we can hit the ground.”
