Climaco also thanked all those who were involved in the distribution of relief assistance in the villages, saying, their dedication to help feed the hungry is a testimony of their hard work and love for the others. She also praised the members of the City Council for approving the aid budget. “Muchisimas gracias a todos por el de ustedes esfuerzo que ya ayuda facilita el distribucion casa en casa,” she said.

Lawmakers approved the budget used to augment the second wave of allocation of relief aid to each household, including a one-time financial assistance worth P1,000 for their water and electricity bills.

The first wave of relief assistance by the local government though the City Social Welfare and Development Office - comprising of rice, canned goods, noodles and vitamins – benefited a total of 178,615 households in all 98 villages.

The distribution of food packs was on top of the P5,000 emergency cash assistance received by each family from the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s Special Amelioration Program in collaboration with the local government that targeted the poorest of the poor. (Zamboanga Post)
