President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Wednesday that the government is working on giving more housing units and titles to people in Tacloban City where Super Typhoon Yolanda hit.

During the 10th Year Yolanda Commemoration in Tacloban, Marcos said that the government had asked the Department of Human Settlements and Human Development and the National Housing Authority to speed up giving the recipients housing units and land titles.

Marcos mentioned that the government is still working on making evacuation and emergency operations centers more resistant to disasters.

He added that the government is also setting up centralized and effective early warning systems and disaster reaction plans to try to stop similar tragedies from happening again.

"The government is always striving to ensure that such tragedies of this magnitude will be avoided and will be adapted to," Marcos said.

During the same event, Marcos gave out certificates of award to several beneficiaries of the NHA's Yolanda Permanent Housing Sites.

Marcos thanked the groups, workers, and governments that helped Tacloban City get back on its feet after Yolanda.

"Who could ever forget the extraordinary outpouring of love and help and compassion that came from all over the country and all over the world? The volunteerism, the heroism, that overflowed in the affected areas, specifically in the rehabilitation of Tacloban," Marcos said.

"Indeed, what we saw back then was the spirit of Bayanihan in its truest form," he added.

Marcos also asked for prayers for the residents killed by Yolanda. However, he questioned the casualties a decade after the disaster as he believed that there were those casualties who were not included in the official toll.

Government figures showed that Super Typhoon Yolanda killed at least 6,000 people.

"We must always keep a special place in our hearts for those who we lost who are uncounted, unrecorded … we say 6,000 casualties, (but) we do not know that for sure (and) we are certain that there were more," said Marcos.
