The office of First Congressional District Representative Paolo Z. Duterte provided immediate relief aid to over 30 families affected by two separate fire incidents in Davao City over the weekend.
Duterte’s son Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II, together with the staff of the First District Office, led the distribution of relief supplies consisting of food packs, malong, lunch and dinner packs, and monetary aid.
Nine families, or a total of 36 individuals, were affected by a fire at Purok 6-A, Bago Inigo, Barangay Bago Gallera in Davao City on the afternoon of February 11, 2023 while 22 families, or 99 individuals, were displaced to the evacuation site due to another fire at Purok 20, Lower Sangilangan, Barangay Maa, on the afternoon of February 12, 2023.
Following the two incidents, Duterte’s office committed to provide the impacted families with lunch and dinner packs for five days.
Duterte said that individuals with health concerns could also seek medical support from his office.
“Panawagan nato sa mga Dabawenyo labi na pasulod na ang tag-init na kanunay ta mag-amping kay dili lalim ang masunugan,” Rigo said.
Rigo has been representing his father in the distribution of assistance to fire and flood victims in Davao City.
In December last year, he also led distribution of gift packs to barangay officials, barangay functionaries such as barangay health workers, tanods, city-paid barangay employees, barangay sweepers and barangay secretaries in different barangays.
