TAGUM CITY, Davao del Norte, Nov. 26 – The provincial government and the various local government units of Davao del Norte will pool their resources together to help in reconstructing areas hit by Super Typhoon Yolanda in Eastern Visayas.
The province and the League of Cities/Municipalities in the Philippines-Davao del Norte Chapter resolved to chip in some amount to put up shelters for survivors, in addition to sending more relief assistance to the ravaged areas.
This is in response to the call of Governor Rodolfo del Rosario for more donations from the LGUs intended for rebuilding efforts.
During the LCP/LMP-DavNor meeting at the Tahanan ng Lalawigan last Friday, the mayors also settled to augment the recovery contingent that the province is sending to Leyte this week.
The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council will be meeting this Monday to map out the details of the relief and recovery aid that will be dispatched.
The provincial officials and employees have individually given their cash donations for the survivors in Tacloban City. As of Friday, partial tally of their contributions have already reached P244,750.
It can be recalled that the provincial government and the Diocese of Tagum collaborated to bring relief assistance to Leyte last November 12, 2013.
The province has also earlier sent P1-million check to the provincial government of Bohol as aid for the victims of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake last October. (DavNor PGO Info Division/Noel Baguio)
