Over 100 families were displaced by the huge fire that spread on a neighborhood in San Roque, according to Climaco, who also ordered social workers to attend to the needs of the victims.
Among the relief items given out to the families were pots and pans, undergarments, blankets and mats and food packs. The mayor, who is running for congresswoman, led social workers in the distribution of relief goods.
Fire victims embraced Climaco upon seeing the mayor, others broke down in tears as they narrate to her their ordeal and told her to help them.
Climaco said she was moved by the disaster that struck San Roque and further ordered the City Social Welfare and Development Office to see what other assistance the local government can provide to them. “It was difficult for me to see my people suffering, especially now. We are going to help those affected by the fire and attend to their necessities,” she told the Zamboanga Post.

Development also provided aid to the fire victims. (Zamboanga Post)
