President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has extended his sympathies to American President Donald Trump and his people amid the floods ravaging Texas.
In a statement released on Thursday morning, Marcos said Filipinos are familiar with the challenges that follow such disasters and are standing with the victims.
“The Philippines knows the challenges of rebuilding after disaster and grieves with the families who have lost loved ones. We stand with the United States in prayer and solidarity during this difficult time,” he said.
Marcos expressed confidence in the resilience of the people of Texas and their ability to recover under the leadership of their President.
“We have faith that the strength and resilience of the people of Texas, together with President Trump’s leadership, will guide them as they recover,” he declared.
The flash flood that struck central Texas killed at least 119 people on July 4. The death toll could still rise considerably, given that 170 people are still missing, said a report by Reuters.
