DAVAO DEL NORTE, Jan. 4 (PIA) -- The Provincial Government of Davao Del Norte sent help to the affected residents of Surigao City after Typhoon Rai locally named Odette struck the city and its neighboring municipalities. The Davao Del Norte Team brought relief goods worth P3M on December 29, 2021, Wednesday, despite the bad weather.

The local government of Surigao City immediately distributed the relief goods to every barangay using their vehicles.

Apart from the food and potable water, Matugas saw the residents' dire need of wide tents as a replacement to their broken roofs and rains still pour now and then.

"Besides food, ang trapal ang amo nakit-an nga kinahanglan gajud kay sige gihapong ulan diri sa Surigao. Naglisud gyud ang mga tao kay ang mga atop gajud namo nanglupad. So para di kaayo mi mabasa, isa gyud na sa pinaka-important nga material nga among girequest," (Apart from the food, what we saw as an urgent need are portable tents because rains are still pouring over Surigao. People really suffer from the broken or lost roofs. So to keep us dry, it's really an important material included in our request), said Matugas in One DavNor Network's interview.

Matugas expressed his gratutide to the government of Davao Del Norte for the relief operations.

“First of all, gusto nako magpasalamat kay Kuya Gob Edwin Jubahib. Dako gyud kini nga tabang sa amo nga mga goods, " (First of all, I want to thank Governor Edwin I. Jubahib because these relief goods are of big help), his word of thanks post.

The relief operations of the Province of Davao Del Norte to these affected areas after the Resolution No. 1210 series of 2021 was approved allocating P15M from the Quick Response Fund. The P15M fund was divided into 4 recipients which are Surigao City, Siargao Island, Cebu City, and Bohol Province. (PIA XI Davao del Norte/jmda/Ezri M.
