MANILA – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will allot PHP6 million financial aid to the local government units and their residents who were hit by the magnitude 7 earthquake on Wednesday.
“The President has ordered me to give a firsthand report to him. Nakikita nya sa social media pero gusto nya yung tao nya mismo [ang mag-report] (He can see the damages of the earthquake as posted on social media but he wants to hear the report from his staff),” DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo told reporters on Wednesday.
Along with his staff and Assistant Secretary Romel Lopez, Tulfo visited Abra, the province severely impacted by the earthquake, to assess the situation. They also traveled to Vigan, Ilocos Sur.
“The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Armed Forces of the Philippines, and Philippine National Police are on the ground doing their duty for the people. Ibig sabihin nandito ang gobyerno, nakaalalay (It only means, the government is here ready to assist). It is our aim to make the victims feel like should have nothing to worry about, the President has instructed us to be proactive not reactive,” Tulfo said
The DSWD report showed over 2,000 food packs are ready for distribution and additional 5,000 packs will be transported in Abra.
On the other hand, Lopez stated that the PHP6 million fund allocated to help the victims will be used through cash assistance.
“The department has already readied the PHP1 million for distribution, the other PHP5 million is being downloaded for augmentation today or tomorrow. Pang cash assistance siya para sa mga nasugatan nasiraan ng bahay etc., (It is for cash assistance to those who were injured and those whose homes were damaged due to the quake),” he said.
The DSWD, he said, will distribute PHP5,000 to PHP10,000 per family depending on the severity of the damage incurred.
Apart from the cash aid, the DSWD said it has allotted over PHP1 billion in standby funds and stockpiles of family food packs and other food and non-food items for the displaced families.
Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your article post.
I wanted to write a little comment to support you.
Hey there! I just would like to offer you a big thumbs up for your excellent
information you’ve got here on this post. I will be returning
to your website for more soon.
I do not even know how I finished up here,
however I thought this publish was once great.
I don’t understand who you’re but definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger for
those who are not already. Cheers!
Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d
figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My website discusses a lot of the same subjects as
yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by
the way!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I truly appreciate your efforts and I am waiting for your next write ups thank
you once again.
You made some good points there. I looked on the net to find out more about the issue and found most
people will go along with your views on this web site.
Currently it seems like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform available right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to
another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same
results.
I have read so many articles or reviews concerning the blogger lovers however this
paragraph is truly a nice post, keep it up.
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole
my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed
and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had
to share it with someone!
