DAVAO CITY – At least 11 families who were victims of three separate fire incidents here received weekend relief and cash aid from the office of First Congressional District Representative Paolo “Pulong” Duterte.

 

The lawmaker’s son, Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II, led the distribution of assistance to 10 families at Greenland Village in Dumoy, a family at Guadalupe in Barangay Catalunan Grande, and a caretaker at Juario Village in Maa.

 

Rep. Duterte’s office said the 11 families from Dumoy and Catalunan Grande received food packs, water containers, bottled water, and cash aid through the PPP program. The office also served 80 hot porridges to all fire victims.

The First Congressional District Office also provided packed lunch for the fire victims at Greenland Village for five days. Meanwhile, the house caretaker at Juario Village received the same relief assistance as the other fire victims.

Grateful for the people’s continuous support of his father and the Duterte family, Rigo confirmed their commitment to help those affected by unfortunate events promptly. He said the first district office is open to everyone who needs help.

The Bureau of Fire Protection in Davao (BFP–Davao) reported seven houses were gutted down by a fire in Dumoy, displacing 52 individuals, on May 7. Another fire incident took place at Guadulupe in Catalunan Grande on May 8 and at Purok 9 Juario Village in Maa on May 10.
