Asked why the province always reaches out to calamity victims even outside the province, Salceda said one of the tasks of a community leader and public servant is to redirect the victims’ mass despair with its dark emotions into a positive force to bring back their dignity as human beings. “The number one duty of all leaders in times of calamity is to take a proactive stance as crisis arise. The duty of the state is to assist the vulnerable and to take steps to reduce risks before they arise. But when calamity is inevitable, it is also their duty to fast-track relief operations and guide the victims to early recovery and to plan long terms reconstruction program,” Salceda further said.
