"Sa gitna ng ating pagdadalamhati, mahalagang tiyakin ang agarang pagtugon mula sa pamahalaan para sa search and rescue hanggang sa tulong para sa mga nawalan ng tirahan at mahal sa buhay," according to the Senator in his viral post.
Perhaps the most critical part of the Senator's statement was his renewed appeal for stricter building safety standards. He underscored the geographical reality of the Philippines as a justification for his call for reform, with others agreeing too.
"Kasabay ng ating pagtugon, muli kong iginigiit ang panawagan para sa mas mahigpit na inspeksyon sa mga gusali at imprastraktura sa buong bansa. Ang naganap na trahedya sa Cebu ay paalala na tayo'y nasa Pacific Ring of Fire at hindi ito dapat balewalain," the Senator stressed in his now-viral online post.
Senator Escudero's post serves not only as a message of solidarity with the Cebuanos but also as a powerful legislative reminder that disaster preparedness, particularly concerning infrastructure integrity, must be treated with urgency.
