MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte has promised PHP5,000 to assist indigent families hit by Typhoon Odette, which battered several regions including in the Visayas and Mindanao on December 16.
Duterte stated in a prerecorded public address televised Monday night that the government has collected sufficient funds to distribute monetary assistance.
“I’m giving PHP5,000 per family…the money that I have gathered so far would be sufficient for the assistance of PHP5,000 for everybody,” he said.
He also pledged to revisit areas ravaged by Typhoon Odette, to assess the government’s relief, recovery, and rehabilitation efforts.
Earlier, Duterte visited Maasin, Leyte; Inabanga, Bohol; Argao, Cebu; and Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental, Dinagat Islands, and Siargao Island to meet local officials and personally distribute relief assistance to those displaced by the typhoon.
“Babalikan ko ‘yung lugar na tinatamaan (I will return to typhoon-hit areas),” he said.
Acting Presidential Spokesperson and Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles, for his part, stated that the national government is now assessing families that are eligible to receive the PHP5,000 monetary assistance promised by Duterte.
“As reported by [National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council Executive Director] USec [Ricardo] Jalad a while ago, they are conducting meetings with the [Office of the Civil Defense], [Department of National Defense], [Department of the Interior and Local Government], [Department of Social Welfare and Development], and [Department of Budget and Management] to determine kung sino-sino yung mga (which) families that will benefit from the cash assistance to be given from the national government,” he said in a Palace press briefing on Tuesday.
Nograles said the financial assistance for typhoon-affected families will be structured similarly to the Social Amelioration Program (SAP), which provides financial aid to low-income families to help them cope with lockdowns caused by the Covid-19 outbreak.
“So the same setup, yung parang nasabing SAP setup natin ngayon. ‘Yun po yung naiisip natin gawin para naman sa mga biktima ng Bagyong Odette (it’s like the SAP setup we have now. That is our plan for victims of Typhoon Odette),” he added.
He stated that the DBM is currently looking for sources to fund the cash assistance for typhoon victims.
“Ang promise po is that by tomorrow, mada-download na po ang funds (Our promise is that by tomorrow, the funds can be downloaded). So within the day, importante na maidentify na po yung mga families na mabibigyan ng (it is important to identify the families that will be given) cash assistance—these are severely affected families,” he said.
Apart from the PHP5,000 financial assistance, Duterte already ordered the National Housing Authority (NHA) to give PHP100 million worth of assistance to residents whose houses were destroyed partially or completely by the typhoon.
He added that this fund would assist in speeding house reconstruction and clearing operations in typhoon-affected areas.
