Climaco led the distribution of aid held at City Hall. She was assisted by San Jose Gusu Barangay Chairman Joel Esteban and representatives from the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), and the City Treasurer’s Office.
Another fire also gutted at least 377 houses in Barangay Baliwasan and the conflagration displaced at least 400 families. The mayor also ordered the CSWDO chief Socorro Rojas to assist the fire victims, many of them are temporarily housed at the covered court of the Baliwasan Central School.
Rojas said they put up a soup kitchen and provided fire victims - upon Climaco’s order – relief goods, among others.
“The CSWDO has set up a community kitchen at the temporary shelter and coordinates with different groups and organizations and individuals who are sharing their blessings to the homeless families,” Rojas said.
Climaco personally visited the fire victims and sympathized with them. She also distributed relief items at the temporary shelters during her visit. The mayor instructed the Housing and Land Management Division to conduct the validation of displaced families, tagging and spot mapping of houses and structures destroyed in the fire.
