The bill creates a system for the Philippines to request, receive and manage foreign disaster aid quickly and transparently. It makes the NDRRMC the main coordinator, sets up fast‑track “SWIFT” teams at ports and airports, and gives aid groups visa, customs and tax breaks while the relief effort lasts.
