"The city government released on Monday the total amount of P90,500.00 in cash assistance to 25 families whose houses and other personal belongings had been razed by fires that broke out in the different barangays of this city in the months of October and November, this year," said Vic Larato of the City Information Office.
Larato said the cash incentives were personally handed to the victims by Mayor Celso Lobregat himself in a simple ceremony held at the City Hall conference room.
Larato said the mayor distributed "cash assistance at P5,000 for each owner of totally damaged houses, P3,000 for each owner of partially damaged houses, P3,000 for each house sharer and renter, and P1,500 for each boarder."
