ALL concerned local government units affected by Mt. Kanlaon's continued restiveness have been assured of sustained augmentation support, the Department of Social Welfare and Development said on Sunday, Jan. 5.DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian said in a statement that his agency has been working closely with the affected LGUs to determine the kind and volume of assistance that must be provided to them.This early, he said the DSWD has been providing them with food boxes in lump sum.
The agency is ready to augment the resources of LGUs should the magmatic unrest escalate and necessitate bigger food aid requirements, non-food items, and even cash assistance, he reiterated.'We've also done a couple of payouts for victims over the Christmas holiday because we know that not everything can be found in those food boxes. They need other essentials. So we went ahead and did a couple of payouts and we will do more payouts in the coming days,' the DSWD chief pointed out.
