Negros Occidental to send P4M cash assistance to typhoon-hit provinces
The Negros Occidental provincial government will donate PHP1 million each to four provinces in Luzon that were severely damaged by typhoons Rolly and Ulysses.
The provinces of Albay and Catanduanes in the Bicol Region, and Cagayan and Isabela in Cagayan Valley are the intended recipients of the financial aid.
Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson emphasized the importance of mutual assistance between local government units during times of crisis.
The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) approved the donation, which will be drawn from the province's PDRRM Fund.
This act of generosity follows a similar PHP1 million donation to Batanes in August of the previous year after it was hit by major earthquakes.
President Rodrigo Duterte recently placed the entire Luzon under a state of calamity in response to the widespread destruction caused by typhoons Rolly, Quinta, and Ulysses.
