So kailangan natin mag-plano. Pero &#x27;yung mga tao, kailangan na may kuryente, kailangan na may food supply, kailangan na may tubig, kailangan na ayusin ang kanilang buhay,&quot; he stated. &quot;So this is the balance that we are, this is the tightrope that we are trying to navigate,&quot; the president added. The chief executive urged residents situated in areas along the storm&#x27;s path to follow orders.&quot;So everyone, please listen to your local government and authorities who tell you what to do,&quot; he appealed. Marcos Jr. also assured the public that the government is ready to respond to typhoon-hit areas as soon as possible, noting that clearing operations are underway.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/regions/2024/11/11/-walangpasok-class-suspensions-on-tuesday-november-12-1856">#WalangPasok: Class suspensions on Tuesday, November 12</a></div>
