DSWD, LGUs bring Christmas cheers to Kanlaon evacuees
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) coordinated with local government units (LGUs) in Regions 6 and 7 to bring Christmas cheer to evacuees displaced by the Kanlaon Volcano.
Activities such as food distribution, gift-giving, and games were held on December 24 and 25 in evacuation centers for internally displaced persons (IDPs).
DSWD Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao highlighted the collaborative effort to share the Christmas spirit with IDPs during challenging times.
DSWD Field Offices in Regions 6 and 7 maintained readiness during the holidays to provide continuous support to LGUs and evacuees.
This ensures that disaster response teams remain on full alert to promptly address the needs of affected families, a protocol in place since Kanlaon Volcano was raised to Alert Level 3.
Kanlaon Volcano erupted anew on December 9 and has continued to spew ash, with seven ash spewing incidents reported between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
