Bulusan evacuees return home
Evacuees displaced by the recent eruption of Mt. Bulusan have been allowed to return to their homes as the five evacuation centers have officially closed.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office in the Bicol Region assisted in the decampment process.
The DSWD will continue monitoring the situation and may provide financial assistance or help repair damaged houses, especially as Mt. Bulusan remains under Alert Level 1.
Since the April 28 eruption, the DSWD has extended at least PHP22 million in humanitarian aid to affected families in Sorsogon.
The relief aid included family food packs, hot meals, potable water, and other non-food essentials.
The DSWD is ready to deploy additional relief supplies if needed, with over PHP3 million in standby funds and more than PHP205 million worth of food and non-food items readily available.
