More family food packs sent to Cebu for earthquake victims
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on Saturday said its truck carrying 4,000 family food packs has already reached Tabogon, Cebu.
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian said the family food packs will be distributed to residents affected by the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck Bogo City, Cebu and was felt in nearby areas and provinces on Sept. 30, according to a report by Carlo Mateo on Dobol B TV.
Many residents have yet to return to their homes after evacuating, due to the fear of aftershocks.
The DSWD said Tabogon is one of the areas affected by the earthquake.
Meanwhile, 1,900 family food packs also arrived in Daanbantayan, Cebu for earthquake victims.
Daanbantayan was one of the areas heavily affected by the magnitude 6.9 earthquake.
