Rep. Paolo Duterte Aids flood, landslide victims in Davao Region

DAVAO CITY - Almost 5,000 families here affected by flooding caused by the trough of a low-pressure area (LPA) received on Thursday, February 8, relief assistance from First Congressional District Representative Paolo "Pulong" Duterte.


Rep. Duterte's team led by his son, Rodrigo "Rigo" Duterte II, through Pulong Pulong ni Pulong (PPP) program, distributed Thursday food packs containing five kilos of rice, canned goods, one piece of water container, and other essentials to flood victims in barangays 19-B, 2-A, 1-A, 10-A, and 9-A.


The lawmaker will also assist barangays 8-A, 5-A, Matina Crossing (Gravahan), and Maa. Around 17,322 families from these barangays are expected to receive the same assistance from Rep. Duterte through the PPP program tomorrow, February 9. 


Rep. Duterte said they distributed the assistance to the barangays since Wednesday, February 7, to ensure relief was delivered directly to the communities. He added that his team also aided 1,000 families affected by flooding last week.


Aside from Davao City, Rep. Duterte ordered the distribution of 8,000 packs of rice to various municipalities, particularly in Carmen, Busaon, Tuganay, Sto. Tomas and Panabo City, in Davao del Norte, to be distributed to the affected families by landslide and flood.


The Office of the Civil Defense 11 (OCD-11) reported that Davao del Norte, particularly Carmen town, had the highest number of individuals affected by the calamity with 34,000; Davao Oriental with 23,000; Davao de Oro with 12,000; and Davao City with more than 8,000.


OCD-11 noted that 72,000 families or 278,000 individuals were affected by the LPA. There were 12,978 families, or 44,720 persons, who took temporary shelter earlier at the evacuation centers and 11,836 outside or at home.


"Our Pulong Pulong ni Pulong (PPP) relief operations continue within Davao City and neighboring provinces to ensure we reach the families affected and provide immediate aid," Rep. Duterte said
