Pangasinan sends P1-M aid to Comval, Davao Oriental
LINGAYEN—The provincial government, in behalf of Pangasinenses, delivered a P1 million financial aid to the provinces of Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley, which were devastated by super Typhoon Pablo in the first week of December.
Part of that fund was earmarked for Christmas parties traditionally hosted by the capitol but have been cancelled for this year in consideration of the victims of the tragedy.
The financial help was sent December 17 through Provincial Assessor Nestor Quaimbao following the approval of Sangguniang Panlalawigan Resolution No. 1629-2012 authorizing the grant of Php500,000.00 each to the typhoon-stricken areas of the two provinces in Mindanao.
“The above-significant humanitarian endeavor of the Provincial Government of Pangasinan will greatly benefit thousands of families in the areas that were affected by the onslaught of Typhoon Pablo,” the resolution says.
More than a billion worth of infrastructure, homes and agricultural areas were destroyed and more than 1,000 casualties have been reported with hundreds more missing.–Johanne R. Macob
