Hopefully, people will take his word for it.
“During the regular inter-agency/task force meeting on the disaster response efforts at the Leyte Sports Academy in Tacloban City, Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas expressed his confidence that the situation was improving,” reports Ellson Quismorio in Manila Bulletin.
The report quoted Roxas, who said, “Our situation here is very clear; the worst is over. It’s stabilizing. If last week we were at the ER, now we’re at the ICU. Still critical but stabilizing.”
Roxas said he based his declaration on the data they receive and what they’ve seen on the ground. The report added that Roxas may be heading back to Manila over the weekend.
