Earlier today, Governor Dr. Melchor DaguinesDiclas sent relief food packs through the Provincial Response Team and the Office of the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office to the towns of Kabayan and Atok for the families reported to have been affected by the strong earthquake that hit Luzon yesterday morning, July 27.
Last month, Governor Diclas ordered the release of relief goods to the different municipalities as part of an early prepositioning of relief supplies in preparation for calamities. This is to provide constituents closer and easy access to government assistance in times of disasters. In case of supply shortage, the Provincial Government is set to augment the MLGUs’ resources.
Governor Dr. Melchor Daguines Diclas said the concreting of the trade fair area in Wangal, La Trinidad has finally been completed. Muddy ground had been a major concern among vegetable dealers and truckers whenever they use this multi-purpose area especially during the rainy season, the same problem being experienced by end users during Adivay celebrations and trade fair activities.
