Hayab while speaking on the visit, expressed his joy that many of the affected people have returned home to continue with life again.

He said, “We should not allow this challenge to create fear among us because if we allow it, there will be hunger. People will not be able to go to farm. We hope they (victims) will be able to put back structures and continue with life so that children will return when schools are eventually reopened for classes,”

He charged believers to hold unto their faith, believing that after the calamity, comes blessings to the people.
