NABUNTURAN, Davao de Oro, January 4 (PIA) - - After sending help to Surigao City, the provincial government of Davao de Oro is now preparing relief goods for the people of Bohol, who are devastated by Typhoon Odette.


Governor Jayvee Tyron Uy disclosed during the Monday Convocation that a second wave of assistance for Typhoon Odette victims is now being readied and will be transported anytime within this month.


The Governor jokingly said that they chose Bohol since ‘daghan mag Bolanon dinhi.’ (there are many native of Bohol, who are here.)

Last December 23, the provincial government sent ten trucks to Surigao loaded with rice, bottled water, canned goods, used clothes, medicines, face masks, blankets, sanitary items, condiments, utensils, and trapal.


“We have used our Quick Response Fund amounting to almost PhP 3-million, and more than 50 individuals ang nagtabang sa atoa,” he said referring to the help they gave to the Surigaonons.


Last December 29, the Provincial Women Development Council with its chairwoman Sholai Lim also distributed relief goods in Surigao City.


Aside from that, municipal governments in the province have also extended help.


The municipal government of Nabunturan sent a rescue team and its Mobile Kitchen to CARAGA Region to assist in the relief operation; while the local government unit of Monkayo with its donation drive also distributed relief goods to the people in Surigao City and Dinagat Islands.
