The provincial government, through Governor Lilia Pineda, has provided P660,000 in financial assistance to 33 villages for the implementation of post disaster-related activities in their respective communities.
Provincial administrator Atty. Andres S. Pangilinan Jr., together with other provincial officials, on Thursday awarded the P20,000 check to each of the village chieftains.
Benny Ocampo, Buas village chief, said that the financial aid from the provincial government is a big help to their planned clean-up drive in their municipality, one of the heavily-flooded towns in the province.
Ocampo also expressed his gratitude to the governor for her support and assistance to the flood-affected families in the town of Candaba.
The amount sourced from the provincial government funds will be utilized in the conduct of household census, clean-up drive and monitoring of damages in their respective localities.
As this developed, Pineda instructed Pangilinan to ask the village chiefs to submit survey reports on the actual number of senior citizens and children per household for the facilitation of the provision of needed services and intervention, especially in times of calamities like the recent heavy flooding in the province.
