DAVAO CITY - First Congressional District Representative Paolo "Pulong" Duterte took rounds on November 10, Wednesday morning, to inspect flooded areas caused by a heavy downpour in the city.

Rep. Duterte's office responded in the affected areas in the first district and distributed food packs [containing rice, canned goods, milk, bread, biscuits, and water] and other basic needs to all flood victims.

Based on the online reports from the Davao City Central 911, among the affected areas are Jade Valley, Tigatto, Maa, Matina, and Bacaca. Operatives of the Central 911 earlier conducted search and rescue operations in multiple parts of the city. Many families and animals were rescued. 

The Davao City disaster and rescue teams evacuated around 9,000 families to temporary shelters due to flooding after rivers overflowed to residential areas caused by torrential rains on November 9. The number was based on the partial list obtained from City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO). 

The First Congressional District Office has already distributed assistance to barangays 2a, 5a, 8a, 9a, and Maa. The lawmaker assured that all victims will be given appropriate assistance.
