The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has deployed three additional mobile kitchens to Cebu to aid evacuees affected by a recent 6.9-magnitude earthquake.
These mobile kitchens, sent from CALABARZON, Eastern Visayas, and Western Visayas, will supplement the resources of DSWD Field Office 7-Central Visayas.
One mobile kitchen from Western Visayas has already arrived and is stationed at the San Remigio Sports Complex in northern Cebu.
The mobile kitchens from CALABARZON and Eastern Visayas are expected to be operational by Sunday or Monday.
DSWD Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao stated that these kitchens are a lifeline, allowing the agency to serve freshly prepared, nutritious meals to families who have lost their homes.
The deployment aims to combat "FFP-fatigue" among evacuees who are tired of relying solely on food packs and ready-to-eat meals, thereby preserving their dignity, health, and morale during long-term displacement.
