THE Philippines is “greatly concerned” about the recent testing of a hydrogen bomb by North Korea but is nonetheless ready to face any threat that may result from it, government officials said on Monday.

“We will have an information campaign so that the public would know what to do. The is part prevention, part remedial. We will make sure our assets and contingency plans are in place,” Assistant Secretary Kristoffer Purisima of the Office of Civil Defense told reporters in a news briefing.
