First District Representative Paolo Duterte, Second District Representative Omar Duterte, and Acting Vice Mayor Rigo Duterte have joined hands to extend immediate aid to families devastated by the recent fire incidents that struck Barangays Leon Garcia and San Isidro in Agdao.  

The three officials’ offices mobilized hot meals for seven straight days and safe drinking water to ensure that affected families do not go hungry or thirsty as they begin the difficult journey of rebuilding their lives.

According to the initial report from the City Social Work and Development Office (CSWDO), the fire in Leon Garcia affected at least 22 households, including 13 sharers, 23 renters, and 5 boarders.  

In San Isidro, R. Castillo, around 65 households with 310 members, including 30 renters, were reported affected. CSWDO is still conducting a final assessment to determine the full extent of the damage and the specific needs of the families. 

In a joint statement, the three Dutertes emphasized the importance of urgent response and continuing support:  “Our priority is to ensure that no family goes hungry and that they have access to clean water during this painful ordeal. 

Rest assured, we will continue working closely with CSWDO and other agencies to provide further support for the families’ rehabilitation and recovery,” the statement read.  Barangay officials also expressed their gratitude for the swift action. 

Kapitan Rody Cagatin of Centro Agdao said:  “Pasalamat ko sa paspas nga pagtubag sa mga nasunogan sa akong barangay. Nagpadala dayon og tabang ang OVP, opisina ni Cong. Omar ug Cong. Pulong bisan dili niya distrito. Mianhi usab si Vice Mayor Rigo bisag gabii na kaayo. Salamat sa inyong tanan apil tong mga volunteers ug private individuals. Salamat sa tabang.”  

The offices of Representatives Paolo and Omar Duterte, together with Acting Vice Mayor Rigo Duterte, assured the public that their efforts go beyond immediate relief. 

Their commitment is to stand with the victims every step of the way—not only to help them survive this tragedy, but to give them hope and the means to rebuild their homes and their future.
