DSWD helps woman found living in Makati drainage

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) announced on Wednesday that it would assist a woman who emerged from a drainage hole in Makati City.

Members of the DSWD's Pag-abot program visited Salcedo Village, Barangay Bel-Air to locate the woman, bringing her to the Pag-abot Processing Center in Pasay City on Thursday.

She will undergo thorough assessment and receive appropriate interventions based on her condition and needs, following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive for comprehensive support.

Earlier reports revealed that after surfacing from the sewage, the woman ran frantically along the street while being pursued by security guards, with authorities suspecting she may have been living in the sewers for some time.

Personal belongings were discovered inside the drainage area and police noted that the woman appears to be in need of medical attention.
