"Tayo po ay tunay na mapalad na mayroong mga indibidwal na talagang tumulong sa kasagsagan ng bagyo. Lubos po ang pasasalamat natin sa ilang mga grupo, unang-una na sa ating rescue team, ang VCDRRMO kung saan higit 150 ang tuloy-tuloy na nag-rescue. Ako rin po ay nagpapasalamat sa Philippine Coast Guard para sa kanilang tulong, sa CSWDO, at sa marami pang iba, dahil handa po kayong ialay ang inyong mga buhay para sa inyong mga kababayan. Taos-puso rin po ang ating pasasalamat sa Liga ng mga Barangay para sa inyong support (We are very fortunate that there are individuals who helped during the height of the typhoon. We are very grateful to several groups, first of all to our rescue team, the VCDRRMO where more than 150 continuously conducted rescue operations. I also thank the Philippine Coast Guard for their help, the CSWDO, and many others, because you are ready to sacrifice your lives for your countrymen.
