Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez expressed his appreciation for the efforts of Albay 3rd District Representative Fernando Cabredo in establishing a “community pantry” to aid the evacuees affected by the ongoing unrest of Mayon Volcano.
Cabredo plans to source vegetables from farmers affected by Mayon’s unrest, aiding local agriculture while providing food to evacuees.
“This is definitely worth emulating as it would maximize the number of people who would benefit from this initiative,” Romualdez said. The offices of Albay 1st District Representative Edcel Lagman and 2nd District Representative Joey Salceda also received monetary assistance from Romualdez and the Tingog Party-list. Moreover, all three lawmakers received P500,000 worth of relief goods from Romualdez’s personal disaster relief fund.
At the same time, Romualdez endorsed the release of P10 million to the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers cash-for-work program, requested by Representative Salceda to tackle potential long-term displacement caused by the volcano’s ongoing activities. In total, an assistance package worth P33 million, inclusive of P1 million from Romualdez and Tingog, and P10 million from the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation program, is being deployed to assist the communities affected by the ongoing volcanic activities.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
