KIDAPAWAN CITY—The agency serving as Malacanang’s extension in Mindanao, Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), has released drone images of the extent of damage of a swarm of earthquakes that struck the provinces of Cotabato and Davao del Sur. MinDA also set up a field office in this city to coordinate government relief and rehabilitation efforts. ADVERTISEMENTThe drone images showed also communities that had been stricken by landslides and could be declared no man’s land later. Pinol said his office continued to gather data on Monday, Nov. 4, and to identify which communities had not been reached by government relief efforts. The data gathered, he said, would be used to help design rehabilitation plans for communities stricken by the quakes and submitted to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana.
