aid to at least 1,653 families in Davao de Oro affected by the magnitude 6.0 earthquake in New Bataan.
According to the office of the Speaker in a statement on Sunday, aid under the DSWD’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations Program was distributed in the municipalities of Compostela, New Bataan, and Maragusan.“Natural calamities such as earthquakes are unforeseen, and the injuries and damage it causes are of no fault of the victims. So it is only just to allocate and direct the government’s ayuda program to victims of the Davao de Oro earthquakes,” Speaker Romualdez said.
“We know that the amount of assistance does not really cover the damage done by the recent calamity. But we hope it alleviates a little our citizens’ plight in this time of need. The government is doing everything in its power to restore normalcy to Davao de Oro,” Rep. Romualdez said.
