"The Filipino people seek and welcome international support in the face of the terrible devastation brought about by Yolanda in a wide corridor across the Philippine islands," said the CPP. "However, though devastated, the Filipino people has preserved their sense of national dignity and will continue to defend their sovereignty against foreign military interventionism."
"Nais at ikinalulugod ng sambayanang Pilipino ang internasyunal na suporta sa harap ng matinding pagkasalantang dulot ng bagyong Yolanda sa malawak na bahagi sa kapuluan ng Pilipinas," anang PKP. "Gayunpaman, bagamat sinalanta, nananatili pa rin ang pagtataguyod ng sambayanang Pilipino sa pambansang dignidad at patuloy na ipagtatanggol ang kanilang soberanya laban sa dayuhang interbensyunismong militar."
