This includes units from the Philippine National Police(PNP), Department of Social and Welfare Development (DSWD) and National Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC). And although most people from Yolanda-hit regions are being worried by another super typhoon on the way, President Aquino is confident that remains positive that Yolanda had already challenged the country but the Philippine nation was able to overcome thus with preparation and prevention casualty could be minimized.
