Davao City First District Representative Paolo Duterte provided relief and financial assistance to 81 families affected by the recent fire in Barangay 34-D on Thursday, February 29, at the Kapitan Tomas Monteverde Elementary School.
Rep. Pulong’s son, Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II, led the distribution of relief packs, water containers, bottled water, and cash assistance through the Pulong Pulong ni Pulong (PPP) program to 19 house owners, 31 renters, 30 boarders, and a caretaker in the same barangay.
The lawmaker’s staff also served 200 hot porridges (lugaw) and provided packed lunches, which will run for five days for the fire victims, including their children, who are still recuperating from the incident.
Rigo thanked everyone for their infinite support to his father and to the Duterte family and assured them that his family would continue to provide immediate aid to families affected by calamities and other unfortunate incidents.
The Bureau of Fire Protection in Davao region (BFP-Davao) reported that the fire gutted down around 20 houses in Barangay 34-D, yielded an estimated P525,000 worth of damage, which left the affected families homeless.
