MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. expressed support for a bill creating a disaster resilience department hours after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake devastated the province of Abra and other parts of Luzon.

 

Marcos said the country needs to enhance its capability to mitigate disasters because of the risks posed by climate change.

 

"I don’t like to say it but it seems that it will be more frequent. Not the earthquake, but the weather, especially the extreme weather... You have seen what happened to Europe, what happened to America. We might experience that, the intense heat," the president said at a press briefing Wednesday.
