Malacañang attributed the low casualty numbers from typhoon “Ulysses” to Filipino bayanihan spirit.
In a press briefing by government agencies at the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) headquarters Friday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said at least 12 people were killed due to heavy rains and destruction brought by the typhoon.
Based on an initial report from the NDRRMC, Roque said eight individuals were hurt and 14 are missing at the height of Ulysses.
“Bagamat ang target natin ay zero casualty, tingin ko pa rin, dahil tayo ay naghanda bago dumating ang bagyo, nabawsan natin ang ganitong casualties,” according to him.
“Kahit papano binabati pa rin natin ang ating mga mamamayan, ang ating mga local government units, kapulisan (at) kasundaluhan, dahil sa ating bayanihan nabawasan natin ang casualty,” he added.
