To this, the Chairman said, “During the past disaster (Habagat 2012), many faraway provinces –even as far as Samar– succoured to us in Marikina. So it is not really an excuse that we are distant from each other or we are of different cities or provinces.
Kaugnay nito, sinabi ni Chairman na, “Noong nakalipas na trahedya (Habagat 2012), maraming malalayong probinsya –kahit ang malayong probinsya ng Samar- ay tumulong sa amin sa Marikina. Kaya’t hindi katwiran ang malayo kami sa isa’t isa o magkaiba ang aming siyudad o probinsya.
