Just this month, Climaco, who is on her third and last term, led the distribution of cash assistance to nearly 400 families displaced by a recent fire in Barangay Calarian and victims of Typhoon Odette (Rai) in December.

Climaco said the cash assistance is intended to help alleviate the plight of the fire and typhoons victims. Barangay Calarian officials led by Chairperson Flor Arcillas thanked the mayor for the assistance given to over 100 families displaced by the fire.

More than 200 families in Barangay Labuan affected by the typhoon received financial aid – P5,000 for those whose houses were totally damaged and P3,000 for partially damaged houses.

The cash aid were on top of the thousands of people, including Covid-19 survivors, who benefited from the Local Social Amelioration Program which is continuing following the declaration of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. (Zamboanga Post)
