GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Dec 22 (PIA) –- The local governments of Sarangani and General Santos City (SarGen) have devised their own initiative to contribute to the victims of Typhoon Sendong in northern Mindanao. | |||
As of December 20, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported 957 dead; 1,582 injured; 432 rescued; and 49 others still missing. | |||
In Sarangani, Governor Miguel Dominguez convened the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDDRMC) to discuss the province’s assistance to the victims particularly in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan cities. | |||
The PDRRMC immediately passed a resolution to donate P500,000 worth of rice, canned goods (sardines), mats and blankets, bottled water, used clothing, and caskets to the stricken areas hard hit by typhoon Sendong. | |||
The provincial government has also sought the assistance of other groups and individuals starting with its employees to help boost the province’s donations. | |||
According to the Provincial Information Office, the provincial government has also deployed a medical team to assist in the evacuation centers in the area. | |||
It said it will deliver the relief goods just before Christmas. | |||
Meanwhile, the city government here is also set to deliver its assistance to Sendong’s victims through the City Social Welfare and Development Office, which is in charge of the relief operation. | |||
City Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio earlier urged her constituents to help in any way they can for the sake of the typhoon victims. | |||
Aside from its own resource, the city government was also able to generate donations from various sectors and even from individuals here. | |||
Custodio also arranged for a convoy of trucks to ferry the relief goods, the first of which will be on Friday, December 23. | |||
The city government targets some P1-million worth of donations to be distributed to more than 5,000 disaster victims, rendered helpless by Tropical Storm Sendong. | |||
The first batch of relief goods is “composed of rice, bottled water, canned tuna and sardines, dried fish, bread loaves, used clothes and fresh undergarments, blankets or malongs and supplies of medicines.” (CTA/PIA General Santos City) | |||
