DAVAO CITY – At least 11 families affected by a fire at Purok 7 Center Beach in Barangay Talomo on Thursday, March 21, received immediate aid from the Office of First Congressional District Rep. Paolo "Pulong" Duterte.

Rep. Duterte's son, Rodrigo "Rigo" Duterte II, led the distribution of packed lunch to 35 individuals and food packs, including big bottled waters, to 11 families temporarily staying at the covered court in the barangay.

Each recipient – consisting of six house owners, two sharers, and three renters, received relief assistance from the lawmaker's office. Senior citizens affected by the incident were also provided medical assistance.

According to the initial investigation of the Bureau of Fire Protection in Davao City, the fire gutted down six houses at around 11:30 a.m. on March 20 due to an electrical fault, which led the 11 affected families to evacuate to a safer area.

Rep. Duterte's office has been providing relief assistance to the constituents of the first district and other residents in Davao City affected either by man-made and natural calamities or other emergency cases.
