The mayor thanked the DSWD and President Rodrigo Duterte for the additional aid.
“Muchisimas gracias to the Office of the President and DSWD for always looking after the welfare of the people, especially those in dire need of assistance,” Climaco said.
The mayor previously distributed food packs, hygiene kits and
blankets and mats, among other items, to the fire victims. The fire victims

helping them.
