So para di kaayo mi mabasa, isa gyud na sa pinaka-important nga material nga among girequest," (Apart from the food, what we saw as an urgent need are portable tents because rains are still pouring over Surigao. People really suffer from the broken or lost roofs. So to keep us dry, it's really an important material included in our request), said Matugas in One DavNor Network's interview.

Matugas expressed his gratutide to the government of Davao Del Norte for the relief operations.
