President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. announced that the DHSUD will construct 150 modular housing units in Davao Oriental by Monday for families displaced by the magnitude 7.4/6.8 earthquakes. Marcos emphasized that modular shelters are a "more durable and comfortable" alternative to tent cities. Manay and Caraga have the highest number of totally destroyed houses, prompting the urgent appeal for construction materials from the provincial government.
