EU open to assist in Rolly recovery effort

The Delegation of the European Union in the Philippines on Sunday expressed its openness to assist in the country's recovery effort from Typhoon Rolly (international name: Goni), particularly in the Bicol Region.

Through a post on its Twitter account, the EU Delegation said the Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid was ready to assist in recovery efforts moving forward.

"The resiliency, strength, and courage of the Filipinos will persevere in these trying times," the post read.

According to the latest data from the Department of National Defense (DND), at least 10 deaths were reported in the Bicol Region, with over 390,000 individuals displaced.

Two areas in Luzon -- Batangas and Occidental Mindoro -- remain under Tropical Wind Cyclone Signal 3, with Typhoon Rolly expected to weaken into a severe tropical storm within the next 24 hours. — DVM, GMA News
