Marcos: We are ready for 'Mawar'

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday said the country has adequately prepared for the possible onslaught of Super Typhoon "Marwar," which has been forecast to enter the country's area of responsibility late Friday or early Saturday.

Marcos told reporters relief goods have been prepositioned in areas particularly in Northern Luzon that could be affected by the fierce storm, which will be renamed "Betty" once it hits Philippine territory.
