Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong also said he was deeply saddened by the loss of lives and devastation caused by Typhoon Tino and Super Typhoon Uwan, coming in the wake of other recent natural disasters that have hit the Philippines.
Both typhoons came just over a month after the Philippines was struck by a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that killed dozens of people and injured hundreds more.
The shallow quake was off the central island of Cebu, damaging power lines, bridges and multiple buildings, and was the country’s deadliest since at least 2013.
âOur thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost their loved ones, those who have been injured, and all the communities facing the immense task of recovery,â said Mr Wong in a letter dated Thursday.
