Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian thanked the World Food Programme (WFP) for its support to the Department in providing essential relief to individuals and communities affected by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine.
“We are grateful to WFP for their commitment in helping our communities recover from this crisis. Their support in delivering food and cash assistance to thousands of families has been invaluable. Together, we are able to ensure that our people receive the timely help they need,” Secretary Gatchalian said.
The DSWD has collaborated with the WFP to provide essential food and financial aid to some of the most affected areas in the Bicol Region.
The WFP has been instrumental in enhancing the logistics of the DSWD assisting in transporting over 105,300 boxes of family food packs (FFPs) to the Bicol Region.
The UN agency has also deployed a mobile storage unit in Naga City to ensure the safe storage and distribution of relief supplies.
The DSWD Field Office 5-Bicol Region and the WFP have signed a data-sharing agreement to support cash assistance efforts for vulnerable families under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). This initiative focuses on 18 Kristine-affected towns in Albay and Camarines Sur.
Through this partnership, the WFP provided cash assistance to over 14,400 households enrolled in the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) within two weeks of the emergency. Each family received Php6,700 to help meet their immediate food needs.
The DSWD is committed to strengthening its partnerships and ensuring the prompt and effective delivery of assistance to communities in need. (CDB)
