The Department of Social Welfare and Development recently distributed family food packs to evacuees in San Jose De Buan, Samar. These evacuees flooded into the town’s covered court after being displaced due to the ongoing firefight between the Philippine Army and rebel fighters.

Based on initial reports received, there are 147 families affected by the conflict – 44 families from Brgy. Hagbay and 103 families from Brgy. San Nicolas. Upon request from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officer Ana Gabon, DSWD staff from the Disaster Response Management Division (DRMD) immediately traveled to provide and distribute relief goods to the conflict-affected families.

DSWD provided family food packs (FFPs) for each family. These FFPs contain 6 kilos of rice, 4 cans of corned beef, 4 cans of beef/meat loaf and 6 sachets of coffee, and are good for 2 to 3 days for a family of 5. Aside from these food items, DSWD also provided blankets for the families.

“Nagpapasalamat kami kay an mga taga Region kumanhi dayon para maghatag hin relief goods” said MSWDO Gabon. (We are thankful because the staff from the Regional Office came immediately to distribute relief goods.)

Currently, DSWD is closely monitoring the situation with the MSWDO.
